Good simple directional mic for smartphone recording.

Totally adequate sound quality considering the price, size, and convenience of use.Great improvement over internal mic. Not surprisingly can be overdriven by high decibel levels. If the recording is distorted reduce the sound level of the source if possible. Try to keep the mic pointed at and a couple of feet away from the source.

Works well for Samsung Note 8

It definitely IMPROVES audio quality. I tested it recording video and audio with and without the mic. HUGE difference.The small size makes it easy to FORGET about it in your pocket. I almost lost it multiple times.It's definitely cheaper than the Rode VideoMic ME (https://amzn.to/2SxdgvU), but works just as well while being smaller.One plus: so far it has not picked up any electrostatic or RF noise despite not putting the phone in airplane mode while recording. This means the mic can be used for Facebook Live or other live recordings without having to worry about interference internally-generated by the phone. That is more than I can say about the Rode VideoMic ME.

Q**

Better sound quality than built in mic on phone- but a few caveats

My phone is a Pixel phone, so the headphone input is on the same corner of the phone where the front facing camera is located. If this mic is tilted over to face me for a selfie, the mic is in the shot. When I tilt the mic just out of view, the mic is pointed over my shoulder, but the sound is still superior to the internal mic on my phone. If I swap out the foam windsock for a fuzzy one for use on a very windy day, the mic will need to be tilted even further away from pointing directly at me for a front facing camera shot. Not sure how detrimental this will be to the sound quality. This is obviously not an issue with the rear facing camera.The moulding on the plug itself is minimal so this can be used with some not so bulky cases, unlike other similar mics I tried. I want to keep my case on the phone as it's somewhat fiddly getting the phone into either a gimble, or a selfie stick, and prone to dropping. For me, I think the be best practice is to insert the mic only after putting the phone in a mount. I can imagine this mic would break right off the phone if dropped. It will require a bit more balancing with my gimble, but I'd rather do that than dig out the broken off plug with tweezers.The mic itself is isolated (sort of) from the pivoting arm by a rubber vibration absorbing ring. Care must be used when inserting or tilting the mic to grab it at the pivot and not the mic itself. I think long term twisting and turning the mic will eventually break it. I wouldn't call this a design flaw as much as it is a design sacrifice. It's a great design to keep the mic isolated from pops and vibrations from the phone itself, but comes at the price of making it a bit delicate. That said, I plan to keep it tiled at an angle to minimize the the twisting and bending of at the pivot point of the mount.The last problem I have, and this is not a fault of this device, but when it is plugged in, the phone speaker is disabled since the phone thinks there is a headset now plugged in. I often review a video before moving on to another shot, and to make sure I get good audio and video, I'll be unplugging and re-plugging this mic every time I want to review video. The stock camera app on the phone prompts me every shot to "swipe right for external" mic. It's always enabled when I do swipe right, just seems like a bit of a time waster.I would give this five stars, but I think its a bit too delicate for constant use with a phone. Maybe if I was using it on a DSLR on a tripod, I would feel different. In order to keep the mic out of the front facing camera view, at the same time pointed directly at the subject, would require the pivoting part with the plug end to be longer by 1/2" inch (13mm) or so. This would protrude out further, and be more off balance in a gimble mount, and make it more prone to twisting and perhaps twisting off. Compared to other similar devices, it's more than double the cost.According to the descripion, the specs on this mic is: 35Hz ~ 18KHz; Signal/Noise: 74dB SPL. However the box this mic arrived in shows specs of: 50HZ to 18kHz; Signal/Noise: 58dB SPL; Sensitivity: -30dB±3dB(0dB=1V/Pa 1kHz). The specs for the other one at less than 1/2 the cost: 100Hz - 18kHz; sensitivity: -25dB±3dB(0dB=1V/Pa 1kHz); equivalent noise level: >60dB @ 1kHz. The sound quality seems similar, so maybe that rubber isolation ring will be worth the difference in price with less noise?And finally, the first selfie test video I recorded, played back with a black screen. Audio was great, just no video. Not sure if this was just a fluke or what. I can't imagine how this is related to the mic, but figured it was worth mentioning. I re-booted the phone, and was unable to re-create the problem.

Didn't work where I needed it to.

Have mixed feelings about this one. I bought this to boost my microphone on my cell phone. I use it in the church while I'm teaching and preaching. Well, when I use the mic IN the church, there's an annoying buzzing sound on the video. I thought the sound equipment caused it. When I use the mic at home, it sounds fine. So it must be the church equipment. Namely the router?? Don't know but now it's useless to me and I'm out 18 bucks🙄🙄

Nice, compact, convenient, simple-to-use Mic

I am a birder, which means I go out looking to identify, photograph and document what I find. They are often difficult to see, yet you can hear them. I'm trying to get acquainted with various bird sounds in different seasons. So I downloaded the Merlin app that helps me identify the songs/calls I am hearing.I use a Google Pixel 4a phone and my friend has an IPhone 12. She was picking up more sounds than my phone was. So I ordered this as it was easy to use and take with me in the field.Bottom line: I definitely pick up more sound with this. My phone displays a sound graph and there is more on the graph after plugging it in than without. I am able to identify more bird sounds which was my reason for getting it. It is not fancy or pro quality, but it certainly does amplify sound to my phone app.Very pleased with the performance and price of product and can certainly recommend for this purpose.

Doesn’t work, don’t buy.

Great concept, poor execution. The microphone when attached to my smart phone did not work. There is no difference in audio quality between the onboard microphone, and this external microphone. Do not buy!Like I mentioned, I really like the form factor, and was really disappointed to find out that the microphone did not work. Hopefully the manufacture can remedy this issue.

Good Mic and Works Great on Note 8 👍

People who say this doesn't work must work for other mic manufacturers or got a dud bc this worked great and significantly increased the overall sound levels. The sound is good it's not tin can or hollow. I was disappointed with the rode videomic me the recording levels on it are not high enough. This is better for less money and its smaller. Hear for yourself in my video. If it doesn't load here on Amazon you can find it on YouTube. They won't post links to it here.
