Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am pleasantly surprised. This is plug-and-play. No apps or special drivers needed. Very easy. As a video guy, I have become increasingly impressed by the quality of smartphone videos. Because of this, I have been using my smartphone for videos more and more. However, audio is usually the BIG downfall. To fix this problem I picked up Pop Voice's wired lavalier lapel mic. This small microphone allows me to live stream from my Android (s7) to most any social media app such as Facebook and Periscope with crystal clear audio. It was important to me to better my audio beyond that of which the built-in microphone on the smartphone can deliver. Attached to this review is a video. Watch it and listen to the difference between me using the lavalier mic and when I didn't the difference is night and day. There is no comparison. I am very happy with the quality that this mic has brought me. About the microphone itself, the cable is 6.5ft so it's long enough to meet most needs. Since my arm probably isn's more than 3' long, that's all the wire throw I need. The built-in quality is great. It is an omnidirectional condenser mic. (Go do your own research.) The clip is sturdy. Once it is clipped on, it will stay. The microphone itself is small enough that most people probably will not notice it if you are on camera when streaming. If you don't care if it is seen or not, they give you a couple colored windscreens (i.e. yellow and red) which are fun. They also throw in an extra black one, which is very cool of them. Tips: It's usually best to hide the cord under clothing. Place the mic on the chest near the head-- it doesn't have to be too close the mouth at all. Middle chest area is great. If you are a heavy breather, you may attach the mic upside down on your shirt to avoid the sound of you breathing into the mic.
