BOYAby M1 Lavalier Microphone for Smartphones Canon Nikon DSLR Cameras Camcorders Audio Recorder PC

This mic is priced well and it is a remarkable product, very easy to work with and a great sound.. Long cord if need be and just an easy solution to a problem. Would purchase again for sure and can recommend this to anyone on a budget or not. Just a good product............

The media could not be loaded. 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.

This microphone has dramatically improved the quality of my Facebook Live videos shot on a iPhone. The mic picks up the voice of the speaker quite well, which has been good since I shoot live in places where I cannot control ambient sound. It allows me to record in places with loud air conditioners or lights, and let's the voice come through clearly without the buzz.Although it practically eliminates the AC noise, I was disappointed that it does let in louder ambient sounds, including loud voices on the other side of a closed door.Quality issue: the clip broke the first time I used the mic. My subject broke it trying to clip it to his shirt.Be sure to read the instructions about leaving it in the "off" position to use it with your phone.

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.

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 . . . .
