Review on PoP Voice Omnidirectional Smartphones Recording Noise by Cindy Plant

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powerful microphone with extra long cable, almost perfect

I bought this for vlogging on my Sony A6300. The 3.5mm jack is TRRS which you will need to use with the adapter included in this kit to convert back to TRS before it will work. Very convenient, but after plugging it in, my camera's end plug sticks out unusually long. This wouldn't be a problem if I was vlogging while me and the camera were in a fixed location, but I plan to walk around and vlog. I may be able to find a 90 degree converter/adapter or make the adapter much shorter. Please note that this actually works for my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. No converter required. The Stock TRRS was perfect. So for those vlogging on the same phone, mine shouldn't be a problem. There are no plans to use it on PC, but an adapter will be available should you wish to use it. Come with 3 microphone sleeves to reduce noise, the multi-directional microphone is very powerful and can pick up a lot of background noise when you are around. A larger/thicker sleeve may be required. The sleeves also appear to be short. Sometimes when you touch the muff, the mic gets exposed a bit. Fear of damaging my camera with the extra long connector (with adapter installed) and undersized sleeves kept me from giving this 5 stars.
