This is the first lav mic I've purchased. I'm sure more money could get you a wider sound range, but if all you need is to improve your current set up, (like I did since I only had a shotgun mic), this is a great piece of kit for interviews and talking head bits of video. While it will work in a phone, I actually used an extension cable and plugged it directly into my camera. Be aware that many video recorders will require mics to have an external power source, which this does not have.

This is great if you want to record through your phone! Sound quality is really good!

The package was received in a timely manner -- even in this time of COVID madness. I wanted an alternative to more expensive hardware and software for mobile episode recordings of my podcast. I found B&H Photo and Video. After receiving the package, and testing the equipment, it became clear the product, bundled with the Polsen HPC A30 MK2 over the ear headphones, was not going to work as advertised with my Google Pixel 3a phone. After some research, I discovered that I could make this product work with an Android platform but only if I used an earlier version of Android -- namely, Android 8x. Fortunately, I had at least one phone with an older version of Android 8x. This configuration also required the download of a 3rd party audio recording software. In my case, I found ACR at the Google Play Store (upgraded to the Pro version for $4.00 and some coin). So, after much frantic research and testing, I got everything to work, almost as advertised.


While needing to perform minor pre-recording tests and tweaks prior to each episode recording, the hardware works beautifully!


After talking with tech support regarding this product, and some minor research, it is possible that at some point in the future, the hardware and requisite software will be available for newer versions of Android. Regardless, I am very happy with my purchase.

Works as expected. Reasonably good noise cancellation. Overall quality of recording is really good.

Excellent microphone!!

This product works wonderfully for what it is made for. I can receive pretty high quality audio in such a simple way. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a lav mic in a pinch!

The Rode Lavalier Mic picks up your voice exceptionally even just using with my smart phone. It blocks out some background noise depending on the volume of the background noise. All in all was very satisfied. The only negative is the exceptionally short wire. I had to go and buy the extension cable so I am not restricted to such a short distance from the camera.

I love this little mic. I use it for my Zoom calls and it works perfectly. Now I can sit back from the computer and still be heard, loud and clear. Doesn't seem to have such a hot gain that it picks up all of the room noises either. I'm sold.

The sound quality on this is great, a big upgrade form the no-name lav I used before without the price of a full-on professional mic.

I own several lav's and this is, by far one of the best. Excellent quality and design. Using it with a Zoom H6 and iPad for in and out of studio work.
