PowerDeWise Upgraded 2024 Type-C Lavalier Microphone with Adapter - Omnidirectional USB C Lav Mic for iPhone 15 Pro, Android, PC, Mac, Recorders - YouTube Interview Vlogging

UPDATED 03/08/22 - Decided to keep product. As mentioned in original review, the items are well-made and function as designed even though does not work with my hearing aids as I need... The only fault I place on seller is not clearly stating it cannot be plugged into phone when wanting to listen. Not everyone is a tech guru.The product functioned as described as long as using headsets. I had to return the item as the description does not mention that one MUST use headphones to listen OR unplug the mic to listen. Wearing hearing aids, I need to interact (listen and talk simultaneously) and can't wear headphones for my purposes. It certainly does not work for me to UNPLUG the mic each time I need to listen.Customer service, once in touch was GREAT. They list a WhatsApp telephone number for Customer Service... received zero response. I received a prompt reply within 24-hours once I sent an email and the kind folks did everything they could to satisfy my needs. Apparently, cellphone mic/speaker jacks only work for listening if using an adaptor and headsets. That doesn't work for my needs.If I find a solution, I will buy the same lavalier mic set as it functioned well and, conveniently included, is a perfect carrying bag for the mic and extra connectors et al.

This lapel mike was great for a few weeks. Then many people on my group Zoom calls said it was cutting out badly, so it was completely unusuable. I tried it on several more Zoom calls with the same results. Sadly it went bad just after my 30 day return period, so Amazon won't replace it. I emailed the company and asked them to replace it, but they did not answer my email. The company brags in other places about how wonderful their support is. Well they havent answered my email for two weeks and counting. The company had good reviews, but when my lapel mike failed in just 5 weeks, they would do nothing about it. I will never buy from this company again. It would be better for you to buy another brand, and there are many.

I'm a teacher at a small college and bought this mic to help prepare online lessons and for video sessions with my students after the pandemic closed campuses. The mic works well, has good sound quality, and is very flexible.The PowerDeWise mic comes in several package options, all of which have the same mic but different adapters and pack-ins, or no adapters.This package is advertised for Android phones, but works with any device with USB-C inputs. I'm using it with a 2020 iPad Pro and a 13" MacBook Pro (with USB-C ports). It works well with both devices - they recognize the mic instantly and start using it instead of the built-in mics. Sound quality is good.The pack-ins include a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, an extension cord (the built-in cord is 6 feet long and the extension gives you another 6 feet), a lapel clip, and a small, lightweight foam pouch that keeps everything together.The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter included in the package was defective. I contacted PowerDeWise and they resolved the situation immediately, at no expense to me. They were very friendly about it, and also apologized for the inconvenience to me. I couldn't be happier with the customer service.For the price, this is an excellent mic with pack-ins that make it useful in a variety of use-cases.My only concern is the mic cable is very thin. It works absolutely fine, but over the years I've found that thin cables like this are prone to developing shorts. Every time you're done with the mic, you'll probably wind up or roll up the cable so you can fit it in the pouch with the other pack-ins. It may well last forever, but I just can't speak to the long-term durability until I've been using it for a year or longer.If you can spend more money, you can probably find a mic with a more durable cord. But for the $29 or so I paid for this mic, I'm not complaining.My advice is to look at the different package options for the PowerDeWise mic and get the package with the best price that meets your needs. At the time I bought this, the package with the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter was $10 cheaper than the package with no adapter; if that's still true, then get this one even if you don't need the adapter. If you have bought a bunch of different devices over the years, you may already have the adapters you need, or maybe you don't need any adapter - then just buy whichever package is the cheapest - the mic is the same in all the packages.In summary, highly recommended - mic works well, customer service is fast and very helpful, and the pack-ins make the mic useful in a variety of use-cases.

EDIT: Updated review from 1 to 4 stars. Original USB C adapter didn't work so I contacted the company. They responded within one day and supplied me with a replacement USB C adapter that works. Microphone sounds good, much better than some of the others I've tried.Unfortunately I can't test this out because the Galaxy S20 says the USB C to 3.5mm adapter is not supported, so it won't work

Always good to have a second mic around for those unexpected requirements. Or is he just like a mic that’s not in the way, or in view. Works great.

We bought this for my husband to use for his self tape auditions. The mic is amazing but once you snap on the converter you get a high pitched screeching sound. So he has to use my phone which has an audio jack and it works great 5 stars. But the usb c converter is awful which is why i gave thos 3 stars.

Great for Zoom meetings. I didn't want to sound like I was talk in a can when giving a presentation. I'm to I sound nice and clear. Works well with all devices, however you may have to use the adapter with a pc. ( It's included)

I brought this to use with Android after I lost the use of my arms. It does not help at all with any aspect of Android. This is a joke, it's a very weak microphone with a bad adapter. I really regret buying it. Never again from this company
