Decent option for the price
In this set you get a lapel microphone with two covers, a wind muff, and a case.The microphone is powered by a very small CR1220 battery that will give you 800+ hours of use. There is no on/off button, it automatically powers when connected to a compatible device. You will know it's on as a green indicator will light up. One thing to note here is that you won't want to leave it plugged in if you're not recording as this will still drain the battery slightly.Operation is very easy. As said above, it automatically switches into the 'on' mode when plugged into a device with a 3.5mm socket. Therefore, if using a PC or phone you just need to go into your recording software/app and start recording.The sound quality was pretty decent. It does a good job at picking up the voice of the person wearing it. I have a Rode microphone on my desk that I compared it to and there's certainly a noticeable difference. Whereas both microphones sound 'clear', there's a small hiss in the background of the lapel microphone (this could be removed in editing software) and the sound is a little muffled and more robotic when compared to the Rode too. That said, at just £20.00, you aren't going to get the quality of something closer to £120 from Rode. So, for the price point, I was actually really impressed with this and think it would be good for doing interviews or boosting your voice to an audience.The cable on this device is really long, so you'll be able to walk around with it plugged into your device and there will be little worry of it not reaching where you need it to. The lapel grip is a little sharp, so you'll want to be careful it doesn't snag or even tear clothing.The little case is a nice bonus and fits everything in really well. It has a soft shell, but keeps its form and protects everything. It'll easily fit in your backpack or laptop case's smallest pocket.Overall, I'm happy with this microphone. For the price, I think it performs well. Although the sound quality isn't at the 'professional' level, it's very good for where it's priced.

Exxxxtra looong wire
This is a good little miocrophone that easily picks up ones voice but sadly it comes with an exxxxtra looong wire. 6m of wiring is simply way too much for use with a Smart Phone unless one has a habit of leaving a phone lying around for a thief to get a good head start as he shoots off with the phone.The long wire is the let down for this good product as either one regularly needs to be far away from the camera / phone or one simply likes having a pocket full of cable if not enjoying having it wrapped around the body a fair few times.Setting aside the long cable, the rest of the product is good, the microphone comes with a windshield for use outdoors and the clip is strong. The whole kit comes inside a handy little case that can be carried in a pocket or a clutch purse as it is small and light enough.Now for the other negative thing with this good product, if using it with a modern SLR camera or a Smart Phone you are lilely to requirean adapter as it comes with a jack plug and not a USB C plug, so that is an extra cost.Overall, I am going to recommend this product as it does a good job but I have reduced my rating by one star to account for the unnecessary long wire and the added cost for an adapter before it can be used. It is well made and of good quality thus it is good value but a few small adjustments / improvements such as a shorter wire and either a USB C plug or an adapter provided will make this much better than it already is.

Very good but only works with Android not PC compatible very long cable
The media could not be loaded. Â Over all a very good Lavalier microphoneIt comes well presented ideal for gift for content creators etcIt comes in a little black carry case nothing special but reasonable It includes 2 wind socks and a fury outdoor sock a clip and a batteryTo insert the battery you unscrew the body and slot the battery in + facing upward screw it closed and its good to goThe green light will only come on when in use I assume the battery is saved for far longer this wayIt only works on android no PC compatibility here but its a decent little mic at close range no sock its loud and peaks with sock it clear and at distance it's still decent actually picks up better than my PC studio mic at distanceIt has a very long cable that will need carefully wrapping up or I can imagine a tangled mess but I think it works wellThe body is aluminium I think and black with a tiny green light the mic is very small with tiny grills for its omni directional pick ups I think its nothing special but reasonable for the task at hand and priced OK although I did get a wireless version for a little extra money I'm yet to try

Works perfectly for me
I am not going to lie I got this microphone primarily to record the noise that is happening during the night in the building I live, as I have been having issues with particular neighbors, and it was impossible to record it just with my mobile as the noise was not correctly recording - with this little gadget my problem is solved, and I can submit very good quality noise records.The microphone comes with a nice carry case and three endings for the microphone (one very fluffy to be used on very windy days). The whole product is made from good quality sturdy materials that should last you for a pretty long time, and the quality of the recordings is honestly really good, so if you are using it for the same reasons as me or just simply to record videos for YouTube or TikTok, it will definitely work for you.
