NEEWER2 Pack Lavalier Lapel Microphone Compatible with DJI Wireless Mic Transmitters Rode Wireless GO II 2, Omnidirectional Condenser Wired Clip On Lav Mics for Stage YouTube Live Streaming, CM5

For a concise review, skip to the "Final Comments"I've been a producer and audio engineer for over 50 years. I have a vast amount of experience plugging mics into things that have mic inputs. I understand XLR connectors, how they are wired and what phantom power means. I understand how dynamic and some condenser mics work when they are inserted into 1/4" (or 3.5mm) mic jacks. In all my experience in recording studio environments, I have never encountered Lavalier mics, before.I also teach neuroscience at a local university. Recently, I decided to offer one of my courses in on-line format. For each chapter of the textbook, I provide a PowerPoint presentation with a voice-over of me explaining the slides. I thought this was going to be easy. My first inclination was to put on my high-end Sennheiser headset and just do it. WRONG! When I review my typical voice-over it was riddled by clipping artifacts that I would never have predicted. The human voice is capable of a remarkable dynamic range, and level setting to capture the most low amplitude signals provides way too much gain such that every exclamation causes the inputs to clip. I have an arsenal of audio processors available to me and I was able to tame the dynamics using a limiter and compressor in series. This worked very well and produced a very nice quality recording. However, to do this I was using over $900 in audio gear (including the headset) and I was confined to my desk's chair while I made the recordings. My brain expects the mobility I have while lecturing in the classroom, and doesn't react very well to me looking at PowerPoint slides on my monitor while I try to give a lecture that anybody might be interested in hearing.About a week into hearing me complaining about how many re-dos I was needing to achieve acceptable results, my wife suggested that I should try "one of those little microphone thingies clipped to my shirt like the people on TV use". I knew what Lavalier mics were so I ordered these from Amazon to give it a shot. According to its instruction manual, my recently acquired Zoom H4 Essential portable recorder had a mic input jack that would work with a lav mic. Additionally, the Zoom offers a 32-bit Float recording format, giving it a dynamic range that should be impervious to the dynamic range of my lecturing voice. Since I could put it in my pocket, I would be free to prance around the living room while playing my PowerPoint slices on our 55" TV. This seemed like the perfect plan.When these Lav mics arrived I hurried to plug them into the Zoom and try them out with a mock lecture simulation. I got nothing with either mic. I tried many things, including using both mics and plugging them into 3.5mm to XLR adapters and plugging that assembly into the two XLR inputs on the Zoom. Still nothing. Then I went into the Zoom manual to find out if I was missing something, as a mic is a pretty simple device and it is very improbable that two out of two would produce no signal at all. In looking at the Zoom section input configuration, I noticed an option for the aux/mic input called "Plugin Power". The manual didn't explain the meaning of the term or what it was used for so I Googled it. Apparently, some small condenser mics, including many Lavalier mics require a small bias current (much like phantom power for a normal XLR condenser) to operate. After enabling it on the Zoom mic input both purchased mics operated well.After recording the audio for the 17 slides covering the first chapter, I brought the micro-SD into my studio and transferred the audio to my DAW. Listening to the RAW 32-bit float audio, I was astounded at the clarity with which my voice was reproduced. This was better than than I ever achieved using the $300 Sennheiser headset. Also, the audio was completely free of the compression artifacts that weren't too disturbing but noticeable for me. I was even impressed with the noise floor under the voice recording (it was almost unnoticeable) Even after converting the 32-bit audio to a 56kbps 16-bit stereo stream (to get it compliant with the requirements of PowerPoint), the quality still exceeded my expectations.Final Comments: These Lavalier mics perform incredibly well for the purpose of recording spoken voice. Their frequency response and usable dynamic range are superb for that purpose. I suspect that the negative comments here, especially about those involving "mot working" were probably due to the user not using a recording device that was supplying the required "Plugin Power" (which I have been assured by people who know about that sort of thing IS supplied my almost any device expecting a Lavalier mic to be used with it). Although I can't compare these mics to any other Lavaliers , they perform at least as well as the microphone on a $300 Sennheiser headset. If you want to use a Lavalier mic for the typical kinds of things Lavalier mics are used for, I can't imagine finding anything close to the price/performance ratio these offer!

I purchased these lavaliere mics as replacements for my stolen Rode Lav Mics to get me through a film project and I wanted to pair them with the Rode Wireless Go II system. Honestly I didn't expect much from them due to the price but man was I wrong! These things are phenomenal! They are very comparable to lavs that cost five times as much. In fact, I ordered another set today or my Neewer CM28 Wireless Mic System as well (I've been trying to re-order them but they have been sold out).The sound quality is amazing and didn't take much post processing to get the dialog sounding even better (all recorded audio needs processing). I love that the cable is short so I don't have to bundle up 5 feet of cable to stick in the client's pocket like most lavs. I also love that it is TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) and NOT TRRS (Tip Ring Ring Sleeve) so you do not need an adapter to connect to a professional wireless system. THIS IS NOT MADE FOR CELL PHONES OR MOBILE DEVICES!The things I do not like is size of the wind screen and the size of the capsule. The wind screen is pretty large and stands out like a sore thumb. So it looks pretty bad (in frame) when filming an interview or documentary. I removed the wind screen altogether only to find that the capsule is somewhat large as well (this can be good or bad). On the positive side, because the capsule has some size to it, it was easy to slap on a URSA sticky and put it in the inside of the clients shirt (well hidden).Overall, I can safely recommend this product to anyone needing clean, quality audio. And especially for this price, this is a no brainer.

I paired these with the first generation DJI Mic and was thrilled to find that it came as a two-pack, providing a microphone for each transmitter. The build quality is impressive, with both the cord and microphone exhibiting a sturdy construction. The windscreen is also of high quality, contributing to the overall durability and sound.In terms of performance, the sound clarity is excellent. The microphones are compact, making them easy to conceal and manage during use. The cord length is convenient, allowing flexibility to place the transmitter in a pocket or other location as needed.However, I do have a minor critique regarding the clip design. It lacks adjustability, which might limit some positioning options. Despite this, it's not a significant issue and doesn't detract from the overall value of the product.Considering the cost compared to other microphones on the market, this is an outstanding deal!

audio quality is superb. im no expert but these are cheap and they sound fantastic. i even clipped one to a guitar and it sounded amazing with no buzzing or anythjng

I wanted a lavalier mic to go with my RODE ME setup. This way I could hide the bulky RODE square mic. I went ahead and purchased an expensive $60 single mic made by RODE. When it arrived, I tested it and the sound was terrible. So, at that point I decided to test this mic. How bad could it be. Well, it well outperformed the native RODE lavaliere mic. For the fraction of the price I get two mics instead of one. I noticed some negative reviews mention that the mic didn't work for them. Perhaps they ordered a wrong mic. These are TRS mics, not TRRS. Make sure you know what you are buying.

If you want some affordable microphones that at least record with decent sound quality, this is for you. But if you care even a little bit about how your recordings sound, these are terrible and I wouldn't recommend them.

They are fine for the price but they are much bigger than expected for a lavalier/lapel mic that you are trying kind of of conceal.If you are not concerned about the size, the sound is good for the price.

Works great with DJI Mic 2
