MAYBESTA 2 in 1 Wireless Mini Microphone for iPhone, iPad, Android Phone - Bluetooth Lavalier Lapel Mic for Video Recording - Clip on USB C Microphones for YouTube Tiktok Podcast Vlogging

When I was recording videos for my online course, I started out just using my webcam and integrated mic. The sound quality was awful and some parts were very hard to hear when my voice level changed. Sometimes it was too loud, and other times you could hardly hear me. I knew I needed an external mic but wasn't sure how they would work or which one I should buy, so I stuck with a cheaper one, and I'M SO IMPRESSED with everything that this mic offers! Out of the box, it was incredibly intuitive and easy to use! It came partially charged so I tried it out right away. I like that it comes with interchangeable clips so you can wear it on either side of your shirt or collar. I just plugged it into my computer, changed the selected mic, and I was ready to roll! There wasn't any lag with the audio, and the clarity and quality far outperformed that of the laptop microphone. I chose this one because of the price (it has great value for the price!) and also for the white color. So many mics are black and I thought a white one would be different. I'm so happy with this purchase, and I highly recommend them!

The media could not be loaded. Very impressed for the price. Video shows audio with only the camera mic first. You can hear what it sounds like far away vs getting closer to the camera. Second half shows mic on the entire time. Difference is clear.She had it too close to her mouth so that accounts for the slight peaking/distortion/overmodulation (slight). In a real recording, I wouldn’t have her with the mic 4-inches from her mouth, shouting into it. Shirt or not-shouting-directly into it works fine.I use professional top-of-the-line equipment, and have for close to 30-years. My opinion is that for this price, it is unreal what you can get nowadays. For a professional mic, I’d expect to easily pay $100-$350. This is much cheaper and is basically fool-proof.I have a USB-C on my phone (iPhone 18) and I literally plugged the receiver into it, pressed the power button on the mic, and that’s all I had to do. Was working within seconds of taking this out of the box.I’d recommend this for anyone making videos where you want to hear the voice clearly. If you’re just starting, start with this and then see if you need any type of upgrade after using it for a while. But if you just want better audio than the camera, or will be shooting any distance from the phone camera, this is a no-brainer. I also tested it with both mics at once, and it was great.They also say you can monitor audio with USB-C headphones. I’d recommend this if you’re using it. I didn’t for this video because I shot it less than 3-minutes out of the box and just wanted to see what it would do. So I can’t speak to the effectiveness of that feature, but listening as you record makes sure you get what you think you’re getting. (even if it didn’t have this feature, for the price I’d still use this)Again, I can’t believe what companies can do for the price in this day and age.

I tested five wireless lapel mics for iPhone in January, 2023 because I needed to find the best on the market for under $100. I’m a semi-professional videographer that producers outdoor instructional videos for work.MayBesta wireless microphone is the cheapest of the 5 wireless mics I reviewed, likely due to the fact that it has no charging case. Instead, you plug the mic directly into power to charge it. In the sound quality, MayBesta ranked only slightly below the excellent CZHiYANG. MayBesta recorded my voice loud and clear with virtually no distortion or treble hiss. The microphone sensitivity remained strong clipped to my lapel and within a 1 foot radius of my mouth when I placed the mic inside a sound muffle box. With a loud white noise app producing the sound of raindrops hitting a tin roof 20 feet away, the microphone did not pick up the sound before and after my words, however, when I was speaking, you could hear the sound slightly coming through behind my words. It apparently cancels ambient sound when there is no speaking to record. It was the only mic I tested with a side-facing clip, which allows you to position the mic so that it doesn’t bump your chin. Clipped to my lapel, the mic may be slightly too sensitive, leading to slight bass distortion. Most users will not find this to be a problem. I recommend this mic as a budget option.CZHiYANG wireless microphones for iPhone iPad android is the best of five wireless microphones I tested. The CZHiYANG recorded my voice loud and clear with absolutely no distortion or treble hiss. The microphone sensitivity remained strong clipped to my lapel and within a 1 foot radius of my mouth, when I placed the mic inside a sound muffle box, which I sometimes must use outdoors. Surprisingly, with a loud white noise app producing the sound of raindrops hitting a tin roof 20 feet away, the microphone did not pick up any of the sound. This is a remarkable drop off of sensitivity and exactly what I require. This product receives my highest recommendation and will be my new wireless microphone.HOTEK J10 DSP noise reduction wireless microphoneThe HOTEK was difficult to pair, and then recorded with a mild tinny hiss behind my voice. It also digitally compressed my voice, slightly distorting it. The HOTEK could not reduce the sound of a white noise app producing the sound of raindrops 20 feet away. I do not recommend this product.BILIYIP Wireless Lavalier Microphone(Same as old LAWYAMAI Wireless Lavalier Microphone)These are all the same Chinese mics under different brand names. I have used this mic extensively for two and a half years,, both in my studio and on location. Two years ago, I found this mic better than most competitors. But now there are newer mics on the market that beat this one. Honestly, one out of 4 mics will be broken straight from the box and you will need to return it for a replacement. But when they work, they work well. The microphones are highly sensitive and pair very easily. There is an extremely slight trouble hiss, which I found acceptable, (though my new preferred mic, the CZHiYANG, has eliminated this hiss.) As for the “intelligent” noise canceling, it is virtually nonexistent. The microphones are extremely sensitive and will pick up ambient noise. I have subjected them to droppage, rain, and backpacking for miles, and sometimes the mics die on you. I found that I always had to carry a couple of spares.Lightning Wireless Microphone (no brand name, but the words Rocky Mars Wireless Microphone MK06 appear on the side of the box)This was the worst of the five microphones I tested. The tinny hiss behind my voice sounded like loud radio interference. It also digitally compressed my voice, badly distorted it. The mic could not reduce the sound of a white noise app producing the sound of raindrops 20 feet away. I empathetically do not recommend this inferior product.Disclaimer: I have found that wireless mics generally have a short lifespan and are prone to malfunction, sometimes right out of the box. I don’t expect them to last more than six months of heavy use, and I always have 2 spares when I’m on the road working. I wrote this long review because I want to support mics that work well, in the hopes that inferior ones cluttering the market will die out due to natural selection.

I was honestly surprised by how good this little microphone is! I’ve used it for Reels, TikToks, and interviews — and the audio is crisp, clear, and way better than just using my phone mic.What I love most is how easy it is to set up. Just plug in the receiver, clip the mic on, and you’re ready to record. No need for complicated apps or syncing. It comes with both USB-C and Lightning adapters, which makes it super versatile — I can use it with my iPhone and my Android tablet.The battery lasts a long time, and the wind muff (that fuzzy attachment) really helps reduce noise when recording outside.Highly recommend for vloggers, podcasters, or anyone creating content on the go.
