Best for the Buck!

I recently purchased this mic for voiceover work when traveling. Little did I know that I would be preferring it to my more expensive studio mic! This little thing is amazing! Clean, crisp and so easy to use. It seems to reject noise around it, so my voice really comes through clear.

The one caveat is that you can't monitor it as you record (unless your software allows you to do that.) I thought that would become a problem, but really it hasn't. May put my present mic on the shelf and just use this little gem! The mic has a 25.4 mm diaphragm in it, so it rivals much bigger mics. Don't even think twice about this one, just buy it.
Rated 4.5/5

Good choice for online teaching

I needed something that would be plug-and-play with both Mac and iPad for teaching online lessons and making quick videos using off-the-shelf non-professional software like Quicktime and Zoom. It works great for that purpose and the sound quality is very good. While it comes with its own little mini stand, a proper mic stand was necessary for me to get proper placement for my teaching and videos.
Rated 4.5/5

Great Little Microphone!

I use this for recording YouTube vids, and occasionally music videos. It's such a good little microphone for iDevices! My only complaint is that I wish it would pick up from a bit further away. My audio still sounds like it's not picking up extremely well, but it does the job!

Holy Proximity Effect, Batman!

Overall, this is one heck of a fine iOS mic for the money, and the sound quality is beyond reproach... if you know how to use it right. For starters, Airplane Mode is your friend, as this microphone is brutally susceptible to RF. So, unless you want your recordings to occasionally sound like the probe the Empire sent to Hoth (don't pretend you don't get the reference), shut down all wireless gear nearby. Second, beware (or enjoy) what may be the most pronounced proximity effect in the world. The plus side here is that you actually don't need to get very close to the mic to get great sound out of it—that desktop stand will do the trick, but I found that when you do choke up on it, the low frequencies stack up fast. Want to sound like Zeus commanding lightning from the heavens? Get in close and you've got it. Beyond all of this, the clarity is really stellar, especially for the price, and the sound, while more flattering than neutral is delightful.
