Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased this little mic to improve the sound quality of both voice and music during the "stay at home" portion of the Covid-19 pandemic. The closer you get the mic to the source, but better "presence" and rejection of unwanted sounds. I expected some improvement just by having a mic closer to me, but I did not expect such a noticeable improvement! The 39 second recording is something I grabbed from my group of recordings, with this mic worn on my shirt, just below the camera field of view. When I used the phone microphone in previous recordings, the neighborhood sounds, cars, etc. were very intrusive. With this mic worn on my body, not only was the sound greatly improved by the quality of the mic, but also by having the mic so close to my mouth. The cord is VERY long and I could easily more than double the distance from the phone, but that was not required for this use. Please also note that if you use a standard camera, the included battery can power this as a condenser microphone for that extra signal. Yeah, I'd buy it again and might even get one for a gift for one of my colleagues. Watch the video and judge for yourself. No audio enhancement, just me, my Samsung S9, and this mic.
