July 31st, 2017I am an experienced videographer, but since I don't do this for a living, I can't afford to buy expensive equipment. I’m also a very experienced engineer and I can tell good equipment from bad. Thus, when I was feeling the need for a wireless microphone, as I was covering certain events, I never thought I could afford one - most solutions cost as much as my camcorder. Until I found this Fifine K037 kit. I noticed it was becoming a popular item and getting good reviews here, on Amazon, so I thought for the low cost it took to acquire one, I'd give it a shot.Funny thing is, the first shipment I got was not working well. It couldn't be as bad as I had it, so I decided to contact the seller/manufacturer and they immediately sent me another one, without any pressure. After receiving the new one, I determined that it was some freak problem: it would only manifest in certain circumstances as I could swap the wired portion and it would work with the new one, but not with the old one (strong noise). It seems like the microphone itself is the weakest link in this product. And in many situations, even the old one would work fine. Here are the technical details.The kit contains a regular, probably condenser microphone, with a mini-XLR connector. It is designed to be used with the proprietary wireless transmitter, which is paired over RF with a receiver. The latter is of importance as this is what you would use to extract the audio signal. Without doing any formal measurements, I cannot say what the exact signal specifications are (suggestion to manufacturer: publish those, for people who know how to interpret them: sensitivity V p-p, impedance, etc.), but it seems like the levels are higher than your typical microphone input, but lower than a standard line-level, meaning that you should only try to connect this to an input that is designed to accept microphone inputs, and not line-level inputs, like the “Line-in” at the back of your soundcard, or the “rec” jacks of a recorder or mixing console.In my tests I tried various scenarios. One was a desktop computer with a 3.5mm microphone jack, for which I had to use a ¼” TRS to 3.5mm stereo adapter, like the one that shows up under the “Frequently bought together” section below. The font-panel microphone input, which I normally use to connect the mic plug of my headset, was a good match; although, there was some excessive noise – a powerful, loaded desktop PC would produce very strong EMI, so that was no surprise; read on for a solution to this, if that is your intended use.I also tried it with my laptop, equipped with a similar microphone jack. The result here was better – certainly good enough for recordings of amateur quality, with the little noise that was present easily removed with audio post-processing applications, such as the free Audacity.The next test was not for recording – I tried the K037 on a Karaoke machine, with a ¼” microphone jack. It worked even better than on a computer, and no wonder – there is very little EMI inside those, so not much to interfere. The feedback suppression was pretty good as I could get within a foot of the speakers without experiencing any positive audio feedback.The ultimate test was done with my camcorder, which has a stereo-microphone input. All previous scenarios involved a single channel – the microphone inputs of computers and audio-amplification equipment are all mono, so a single microphone was used. In the case of the camcorder, I could get both channels recorded (as another reviewer pointed out) and now that I had two microphones, I could test that setup. The cable needed to be a splitter – from a 3.5mm stereo plug to two ¼” jacks. There is one here on Amazon that I found: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000068O5E (ASIN B000068O5E). It isn’t a great cable but the price is right. The shielding must be very weak since I could plug it alone into my computer’s microphone jack and it would generate a very strong noise. But for the scenarios described here, it worked quite well. I paired both K037 and plugged each receiver into the two jacks of the splitter, then plugged the 3.5MM plug into the camcorder’s microphone input (it’s a Panasonic HDC-TM900), and did a test recording. While I haven’t had the time to test it in different environments and analyze the sound recording thoroughly, it seems to be working quite well, with one audio signal coming into the left stereo channel (black) and the other – in the right (red).Finally, I was able to obtain a Fifine K034 kit (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B073JLFYX8 , ASIN B073JLFYX8), with a USB receiver (not analog) and did some more testing. Most importantly, this receiver is compatible with the transmitter of the K037, so I was able to test the quality of the sound of the Lavaliere microphone in a scenario where the analog RF EMI was eliminated. The device is essentially a USB audio card, with the RF receiver for the Fifine transmitters, and uses the default Microsoft Windows audio device drivers, so it is perfectly compatible (no OEM drivers needed). I must say the signal-to-noise ratio was outstanding and I recommend using this USB receiver, if you intend to use the microphone to record with a computer. Such a combination product is not available yet, but there might soon be a Fifine offering available here on Amazon.Overall, this product is well engineered, with multiple, complex factors taken into account. It requires some knowledge to successfully use it, but nothing that cannot be figured out with some asking around. There are some minor design flaws and bugs to be figured out, but it seems like the manufacturer is very knowledgeable, open and responsive, and they are continuously working on improving the product. I believe this item provides a tremendous value and would recommend it to anyone who needs a wireless microphone for a multitude of purposes and is on a tight budget.

As ridiculous as it seems I had a very hard time finding out which wireless lavalier mics would work with my Canon HF R800. After checking a lot of websites including the Canon website I picked this one. This microphone worked exactly as it should. I powered up both components, got my sync confirmation lights and plugged it into the camera and done. It worked perfectly from anywhere in the house without any breakup or static. Admittedly this review is based on a two minute test video, I did download it and listen on my pc's speakers not only on the camera. Early indications are that I will be very pleased with it. It did come with the necessary plug adaptor to fit my camera. It does not provide any way of mounting it to the camera or tripod which will be my needed application. This was easily resolved with a strip of self adhesive velcro. I wanted to post this information right away because from what I gathered by my searching this information it will likely be useful to others particularly during the present lockdown. If my impression of the microphone changes for better or worse I will update my review right away, I will be doing a half hour recording with it tomorrow. Adding an update after a few uses; I still rate this as a very good buy. I'm not a professional only someone wanting to create videos for church. Using the camcorders onboard microphone in the sanctuary resulted in passable but very echoey audio. With this microphone pastor sounds completely natural and clear as if speaking directly to you. There was a learning curve in that I needed to learn how to adjust the input level on the camera, the microphone does not offer that option. During the filming of a sermon in the backyard the neighbor across the street started mowing his lawn and even while listening with headphones turned up the mower is very barely audible resulting in a good video. I still rate it 5 stars.

I record instructional videos, and one of the (many) weak spots has been voice quality. My camera is great when I'm staring directly at it from a few feet away. But if I'm off angle or turn my head, it loses the sound completely. It also tends to pick up too much background noise. I can't use a tethered mic either, because my videos involve hands-on work. A decent quality wireless mic will normally cost you in the range of $150 and up, with professional setups starting around $300. There is some hit and miss at the $100 price point, at which point your'e better off spending the extra money. If you can. I can't. Then the Fifine showed up. The reviews were stellar (to the point that I thought they might have been paid reviews), and the price was a steal. So I pulled the trigger, and I'm glad I did. This mic is a perfect intermediate quality microphone which will be more than suitable for my work. It's still not quite studio quality, but you're paying a fraction of the price.Pros: Cheap. The microphone is actually very good too, though the clip does not swivel, so if you're not wearing a tie or button-up shirt, you'll need to figure something out. I just popped it off and zip tied it parallel to the cip. The range is very good as well, and in fact I can get much further than I will ever actually get from the camera. Finally, it's very simple to use. Two buttons on the transmitter, 1 switch on the receiver.Cons: Cheap. As in feel. The plastic is flimsy, and I have a feeling that the first time I roll over on this thing or drop it, there will be serious damage to the case. It is susceptible to interference. Testing at my computer had a high pitched whine, probably picked up from the processor or display. But out in my garage, it worked very well.There are some other considerations here as well. First, the receiver is designed for professional setups, so it uses the 1/4" mic output. You can buy 1/4" to 1/8" adapters, but these are typically stereo. If properly built, these will result in left-channel only audio. If kind of sloppily built, they'll give you both channels (because the contacts are shorting out), but you'll also get more interference and potentially a popping/clicking noise. So make sure you buy an adapter of good quality. I chose the LEMENG 12 inch Jack Cable(BLACK). If you're using this with a mixing board, there's usually a switch to change from mono to stereo. If you're using video production software, there's usually a setting in there somewhere that lets you go mono.The second issue I came across was a high noise floor and overdriven audio. There's no way to adjust the output of the receiver, so you'll need to make sure your equipment has a gain control. Fortunately, I'm using this with a Canon Vixia HF R700 camcorder, and I can do just that.Finally, the audio quality is NOT studio. You'll need to do some equalization to account for a strong midrange response. The software I use for video production includes a plugin which allows me quickly apply some processing to get clean voice narration. (To be fair, this almost always done anyway. For instance, when switching from a presenter to a narrator, the narrator's voice has some added bass and a notch filter applied to make it sound bolder, as well as to separate the dialogue from the presenter. So using it to clean up audio from less than high quality sources isn't something that's at all unusual in professional settings.)In all, I'm happy with my purchase, and will probably buy another soon.

I recieved a defective unit in the first place, but I was able to exchange it for a new one which arrived in one day. I made a YouTube video unboxing and review using the mic, and without the mic. The difference is quite discernable. After making the video I was contacted by Fifine. They asked if I was interested in testing a new adapter they developed for use with smartphones. I said of course. They have sent me two of them, but they haven't arrived yet. I'll update the review once I have a chance to use them.Update: I have had mixed success with these. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I am looking for a better option. It really is quite annoying for lack of a more pornagraphic term when you have worked very hard to make a great video just to find out the lavelier mic wasn't working. I'm very disheartened by these.

What can I say about a $30 dollar Wireless Lapel Mic? I can say that the mic works really well. I have used it indoors and outdoors speaking at funerals and other events as well as interviewing guests for my YouTube channel and have not experienced any real issues with sound quality. The batteries that come with the unit have a limited life (on the receiver only) of around 35 minutes before you start to see a degrade in the amount of feedback and drop outs as you travel further from the unit (I stay within 25ft of my PA).This battery life issue seemed to be fixed by using better batteries. The other quirk is that it does require two different battery types, the transmitter takes AA and the receiver takes AAA's. The receiver has a 1/4" jack so if you want to use it for a computer you'll need a sound board or a 3.5mm adapter. The product has a solid build and has a decent amount of "heft" for a budget microphone. I like that Fifine continues to utilize XLR over USB as it creates a far superior sound. This mic lives in the middle end...the sound is warmer and fuller than the K669 at the top end and the middle but the lower notes seemed a bit shouty with a bit of "Honky" resonance.At the end of the day it's a solid build with great sound for speaking and some light singing.
