MAONO Au-300 Lavalier Microphone (Black) - Auxiliary

The media could not be loaded. ✍ ABOUT THE PRODUCT:**************************************Inspired by the sound quality and value for money of my previous purchase of a maono AU U3 portable bluetooth speaker, Got it for a friend for studio recording puposes & here are my observations of the product.☝️ Packaging is quite simple with no attractive styrofoam cutouts or fancy colors.Even the outer pack is with minimal colors.Never mind , as far as the product quality is good, outer appearances dont matter much to me.👍 The pack contains :1.) A lavalier microphone with 6 meters of cable.2.) 2 button batteries where 1 battery is extra.3.) A 3.5 mm gold plated adapter for laptops & smartphones and a 6.5 mm adaptor for dslr cameras.4.) A metal clip to fix the condensor.5.) A wind muff .6.) A user instruction manual.7.) A small pouch to store the device.👍 The overall construction of the mic is very sturdy yet very light.The cable thickness is ok for its extended length of 6 meters which can cover any major distance for interviews as well.👍 The condensor mic is omni directional and records very crisp quality of audio and instruments upto a distance of 1 meters beyond which the intensity of sound decreases a bit.Sensitivity and background noise elimination is excellent making it a real value for money device.Even if you tap the mic, the disturbance recorded isnt irritating exactly.👍 Since it comes with dual 3.5 mm with 6.5 mm adaptor , it can be used with a wide range of devices ranging from smartphones, laptops & dslr cameras.👍 Comes with a 1 year warranty which is quite okay.🔷️ FINAL VERDICT :************************All in all, after using this device for over a week, i must say that it has a durable construction and brilliant- sensitive yet noise free audio recording capability especially at this price point which is very rare.Definitely recommended.👍👍✌Hope the review helps to make a decision.

1. i have been using a low quality mic and whenever i do vlog and try to capture my audio i had to denoise my voice premiere pro so that the background noise will removed but using this mic it removes the noise so i dont need to denoise and my voice is better in videos2. it comes with a carrying pouch which makes it easier to take and traveldislikes ----1.you need to change your output devices to your another speaker since i have been using pc thats not a issue for me but a mobile content creator needs to remove the mic and check the content and then plug and take the content. Simply you cant hear sound since the mic is inserted as default output and input2. the clip is strong but there is bad seating on the mic which makes the clip remove and the mic falls off

## Maono AU-100 Collar Mic Review: One Year Later**Overall:** After using the Maono AU-100 collar mic for over a year, I can confidently say it's been a **reliable and worthwhile investment**. It's delivered **solid audio quality** for a variety of uses, from **vlogging and online meetings** to **podcasting and casual gaming**.**Here's what I've loved:*** **Crystal-clear audio:** The mic captures my voice **naturally and accurately**, even in noisy environments. The **omnidirectional pickup** is great for picking up conversations without needing perfect mic placement.* **Plug-and-play simplicity:** No fancy software or drivers needed! Just plug it into your phone, camera, or computer and you're good to go. This makes it super **convenient for on-the-go recording**.* **Comfortable and discreet:** The **lightweight design** makes it easy to forget you're even wearing it. The **small clip** keeps it securely attached to your shirt, and the **low profile** makes it blend in well.* **Durable build:** It's held up well to daily use, from bumps and knocks to occasional spills. The **long cable** gives you plenty of freedom to move around while recording.* **Great value for money:** For the price, the AU-100 offers **exceptional performance and features**. It's a **budget-friendly option** that doesn't skimp on quality.**Things to consider:*** **No wind protection:** The mic doesn't come with a built-in windscreen, so you might experience some wind noise if you're recording outdoors. A **separate windscreen** is a good investment if you plan on outdoor use.* **Limited controls:** The mic itself doesn't have any volume or mute controls, so you'll need to adjust those on your recording device.* **Not ideal for professional studio use:** While the AU-100 is great for everyday recording, it may not be the best choice for professional studio applications where higher-end mics offer more control and features.**Overall, the Maono AU-100 collar mic has been a fantastic addition to my recording setup. It's versatile, easy to use, and delivers clear audio quality at an affordable price. If you're looking for a reliable and convenient mic for everyday recording, I highly recommend it!****Tip:** Be sure to check online for user-created content like sound test videos to get a better sense of the mic's audio quality.
