MAONO AU-100 Collar Auxiliary Mic for YouTube, Mobile Phone, Camera, Lavalier Clip on Omnidirectional Microphone, Plug and Play, with 6M Audio Cable, 3.5mm TRRS Plug and 6.35mm Adapter (Black)

Audio quality is good, cable is sufficiently long and the clip is a nice addition to put mic in good position. Seems durable and connects easily to my PC's back socket. Overall nice product for the price,

1. i have been using a low quality mic and whenever i do vlog and try to capture my audio i had to denoise my voice premiere pro so that the background noise will removed but using this mic it removes the noise so i dont need to denoise and my voice is better in videos2. it comes with a carrying pouch which makes it easier to take and traveldislikes ----1.you need to change your output devices to your another speaker since i have been using pc thats not a issue for me but a mobile content creator needs to remove the mic and check the content and then plug and take the content. Simply you cant hear sound since the mic is inserted as default output and input2. the clip is strong but there is bad seating on the mic which makes the clip remove and the mic falls off

A lavalier microphone with 6 meters of cable.2.) 2 button batteries where 1 battery is extra.3.) A 3.5 mm gold plated adapter for laptops & smartphones and a 6.5 mm adaptor for dslr cameras.4.) A metal clip to fix the condensor.5.) A wind muff .6.) A user instruction manual.7.) A small pouch to store the device.👍 The overall construction of the mic is very sturdy yet very light.The cable thickness is ok for its extended length of 6 meters which can cover any major distance for interviews as well.👍 The condensor mic is omni directional and records very crisp quality of audio and instruments upto a distance of 1 meters beyond which the intensity of sound decreases a bit.Sensitivity and background noise elimination is excellent making it a real value for money device.Even if you tap the mic, the disturbance recorded isnt irritating exactly.👍 Since it comes with dual 3.5 mm with 6.5 mm adaptor , it can be used with a wide range of devices ranging from smartphones, laptops & dslr cameras.👍 Comes with a 1 year warranty which is quite okay.🔷️ FINAL VERDICT :************************All in all, after using this device for over a week, i must say that it has a durable construction and brilliant- sensitive yet noise free audio recording capability especially at this price point which is very rare.Definitely recommended.👍👍✌Hope the review helps to make a decision.

The first time I had ordered this mic, I received in a amazon plastic bag and the product box inside was completely damaged and was sealed using cello tape. Also, the mic seller sent me was damaged and had low quality audio. It was a duplicate.But, when I replaced, I received the packing in a cardboard box but still the inner box had a few damages.The mix received inside was good.Here is a detailed review of the mic:1. The quality: Quality overall nice. The wire might seem filthy and weak but in reality when I tested it, it was indeed a bit durable. It can easily sustain a bit of a pull and twist. Just mind the spots when the wire meets the audio jack and the mic2. Sound quality: Sound quality is really nice. BUT BUT BUT... before you think of buying it, read the paragraph below (of noise cancellation). The mic catches sound equally even if you are from far away or close to it.3. Noise Cancellation: This is a major point. I used to mic a lot for testing purposes. Let me share my experience. I tested it in different environments.a. In a closed room with AC and total silence: In such environment, you will get crisp sound like a boom microphone. But, you will also receive a bit of white noise or background static noise which you can easily reduce using the noise reduction feature.b. In a room with ceiling fan on and moderate noise: Still seems good but not great. Your vocals would still be crispy and clear but the background noise will increase. Still if you use nice noise reduction software (like Audacity) it will sound great. Adding background music to your video would help.c. In a room with standing fan on and high noise: Not recommended at all. Not only this mic but any mic would capture a TON of noise. To express statistically, there will be atleast 40% noise of wind whooshing in the background.d. The same high noise room with windows open: You will die doing noise reduction. Not gonna lie, the background noise increases by 60 times. DONT TRY THIS.The pop filter or the sponge on the top of the mic helps a lot. When you are speaking close to the mic, a lot of air goes in while speaking. So, when the "filter" is attached, the output sound does not have air whooshing but with the filter removed, the output sound is only air.Now, to sum up...Mic is overall good. Noise cancellation is not great but yeah, for the price range, it is the best!Recording tips:1. Record in a silent room with A/C or else turn on the fan at the least speed so it doesn't make much noise.2. Use the collar clip to place the mic, don't hold it in hand. ( I mean this is common sense :-P )3. If transmission lines (electricity wires which are above the head) go from close to your room, I would recommend changing rooms.Now, the reason for this is that sometimes, the mic can catch electromagnetic intefrerence. This maono mic won't catch it but I recommend this for generic mics.4. Do noise reduction in Audacity. It is very effective than the inbuilt noise reduction tools in video editors. Also, it is very easy.Also, BOYA BY-M1 MIC SOUNDS ALMOST THE SAME AS THIS MIC. There is only like 2% difference in noise cancellation. But, I would still give both of them 3 stars for noise cancellation.THAT'S IT!Hope you understand what I mean to say.Peace out.
