BOYA by M1 Collar Microphone for Smartphones Canon Nikon DSLR Cameras Camcorders Audio Recorder PC

It works, has good sound quality, with extra long cord. The video shows this BOYA in the first part compared to a wireless mic that just doesn't match BOYA sound quality. There are draw backs, like battery life - you have to add new batteries almost every use if you forget to turn off the microphone, and the battery port is in the middle of the cord so it weighs down the cord. Also, anything that rubs against or touches this battery port will create that HISS sound as if it were hitting the mic. That creates a difficulty or limitation when trying to move around while vlogging. I still give it a 5 Star because it is pretty clean sound for the price and performs well in all its claims. This BOYA is my standard microphone for vlogging to date. I have been using this microphone for over a year, since May 13, 2019.

Very nice design and definitely seems user friendly. The clip is very sturdy, as is the rest of the product. Love the included bag to keep it all safe and together. Sadly I couldn’t make it function with my iPad Pro due to the odd limitations of the device, which is no reflection on the microphone itself, just an oversight on my part.

This lav mic is pretty decent. My rode videomicro sounded much cleaer and didn't need any post editing. This has its uses though. Perfect for alot of situations. After post editing, audio quality was similar to the rode mic.

I purchased this little mic to improve the sound quality of both voice and music during the "stay at home" portion of the Covid-19 pandemic. The closer you get the mic to the source, but better "presence" and rejection of unwanted sounds. I expected some improvement just by having a mic closer to me, but I did not expect such a noticeable improvement! The 39 second recording is something I grabbed from my group of recordings, with this mic worn on my shirt, just below the camera field of view. When I used the phone microphone in previous recordings, the neighborhood sounds, cars, etc. were very intrusive. With this mic worn on my body, not only was the sound greatly improved by the quality of the mic, but also by having the mic so close to my mouth. The cord is VERY long and I could easily more than double the distance from the phone, but that was not required for this use. Please also note that if you use a standard camera, the included battery can power this as a condenser microphone for that extra signal. Yeah, I'd buy it again and might even get one for a gift for one of my colleagues. Watch the video and judge for yourself. No audio enhancement, just me, my Samsung S9, and this mic.

A couple of tips I haven't seen yet. I thought it was plugged into my phone all the way, but it wasn't. I took my phone out of its phone case, then plugged it in & it went in all the way. So if it isn't working for you, try it without the case on your phone. Another good tip if you can't get it to work: Instead of manual mode on your phone's camera, put it on Auto. The microphone wouldn't work for me at all until I did those 2 things. I was going to send it back because I couldn't get it to work, but I'm glad I kept messing with it & trying everything possible. So far it is working great & it sounds awesome! I'm so glad I got this! And it got here in 1 day!! Fantastic! So reminder: Remove your phone case, & put your camera on Auto mode instead of manual.

It's less than $20 so I think that makes it a good value. It is well constructed with a nice sturdy clip and a good long cord. But be careful inserting the battery. It doesn't slip in easily and if you force it, you could bend the little spring inside the compartment and damage it. So angle the battery in carefully - with the curved side against the spring. It's a tricky little task so take your time doing it. It took me three tries before I got it lined up enough to slide it all the way in. (Also, there's an annoying little black ribbon installed at that spot - presumably to make battery removal easier. But the ribbon just gets in the way. Just pull it back out of the way and it'll make battery insertion a little easier. (I finally just cut the ribbon off and that helped.) The sound is . . . okay. Certainly not awful - but it's not really crisp. There's a very slight muddle - but not terrible. It's acceptable quality - but the built-in mic on your smartphone is better. So are most of the $50 dollar and higher lavalier and shotgun choices. So if your plan is higher-end video, you should skip this product and spend at least 3x the money on something with a cleaner, sharper sound. (It'll be worth it in the long run.) But if all you need is something for videoconferencing or occasional recording, this is a huge improvement over the sound of your laptop's built-in microphone. So you should absolutely buy it for that purpose . . . .

This is my 1st ever lavalier mic and I love it. The sound quality isn't great on my canon 80d so really needed this mic for better quality sound. I did some research and a great app to use with this mic for android and iphone is wave pad free. Just hook the mic to your phone then press record on the app and go. When I heard the quality of the recording of the mic it is amazing. It makes your voice sound crisp and crystal clear. I even tried using it while standing in front of the TV while it was on to see how well the mic would only pick up my voice and it did exceptionally well. Will be buying another one of these mics for my wife to have the greatest sound for our YouTube videos. One tiny problem was that the accessories were already out of the pack which was wierd. Would have given 4 stars but since the product was new and still in great working conditions I just gave 5 stars. Great product and I do recommend.

Really disappointed with the seller and the product. I brought Boya microphone after researching a lot on best budget microphones and had great reviews of the product. But the one I received either it is defective or I got duped. 1) For starters, while the product listed here is of Boya, the one I got is of Sevenoak. I understand that both are owned by same company but they should be changing the name of the product on Amazon as well. To my best guess, both products exists in market. 2) The microphone I received is not working. I am using Pixel 3 (android device) and there is no difference between my videos before and after I put on mic. I tried putting it on camera mode and smartphone mode one by one to try it out and see if anything works - but there is no difference, no noise cancellation - when I play it again to check. 3) The cord length seems good as it gives flexibility to use. 4) Would have loved to have some indicator/led on the device to see if the mic is even working or not.

Aunque no es un micro excepcional, es MUY BUENO! por su relación con el precio. Hice muchas investigaciones y vi muchos reviews de micros en internet (MUCHOS!!!), y desde luego este fue el que elegí por todos los comentarios. Y pues me ha sorprendido, desde su empaque externo (caja de marca -ver fotos-) hasta lo que contiene. Trae su bolsa de transporte negra, una pila para el condensador (que por cierto sólo se activa o enciende con las cámaras DSLR ya que en celulares no es necesario prenderlo y por lo tanto usar esa pila de reloj incluida), contiene además su clip para la ropa, una espuma negra para cubrir el micro, un cable larguísimo!!!!!!!!!! que es ideal para grabar desde MUY lejos (más de 6 metros), y un adaptador a otro tipo de jack (mas ancho). Ya lo usé para grabar video en mi smartphone Galaxy S8+ y funcionó a la primera, con buen nivel de cancelación de ruido y sin necesidad de activar ni configurar nada más. Muy buena relación precio / calidad.

モノラルだけど格安でiPhone6で割と良い音で録れる。古いiPhone6が復旧できる。2台使えばステレオ録音できる。

I received the product well before the schedule date. Thanks supplier DMK01. Product in good condition. It's a sharp mic so maintain a distance while video recording specially with kids recording :) as they tend to speak louder the moment the know mic is on :) DMK01 supplier is highly suggested

Das Boya by M1 Lavalier-Mikrofon für Smartphones erhält von mir eine Bewertung von 4 von 5 Sternen. Trotz einiger positiver Aspekte gibt es eine Herausforderung im Zusammenhang mit den nicht nachhaltigen und nicht aufladbaren Knopfzellen. Das Mikrofon bietet insgesamt eine solide Leistung und erzielt gute Ergebnisse bei der Tonaufnahme mit Smartphones. Die Klangqualität und Zuverlässigkeit sind positiv zu bewerten. Allerdings stellt die Tatsache, dass die Knopfzellen nicht nachhaltig und nicht aufladbar sind, sowie die Schwierigkeit beim Wechseln, einen negativen Punkt dar. Dies könnte die Benutzerfreundlichkeit und die Umweltfreundlichkeit beeinträchtigen. Insgesamt ist das Boya by M1 Lavalier-Mikrofon eine gute Option für Smartphone-Aufnahmen, aber die Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit den Knopfzellen führen zu einer Bewertung von 4 von 5 Sternen. Eine Verbesserung in Bezug auf nachhaltige Energiequellen könnte die Gesamtbewertung positiv beeinflussen
