What customers say
This microphone strongly appeals to budget-conscious beginners needing an immediate audio upgrade. Its primary strength is exceptional value, offering a functional improvement over built-in camera mics without a large investment. Reviewers appreciate the accessibility and included accessories, confirming it serves well for basic vlogging. However, sentiment is polarized due to quality concerns. Users frequently note the audio output is thin, lacks depth, and exhibits noticeable self-noise or hiss. The plastic build is often described as flimsy, raising durability questions. Ultimately, this device successfully fills the niche for the absolute cheapest external microphone, but users must maintain realistic expectations regarding professional sound fidelity.
