This microphone works great. I bought this to make a video of my Minion budgie now learning to talk. I wanted this because it comes with red and orange windscreens. But when I received it I was very disappointed that I received three black ones as shown in the picture. I wrote to customer service and they were very helpful and sent me some. I showed it to my birds and he chose red. He gets very close to his perch and speaks into the microphone. The 12 foot length was also perfect because I stretch it across the room around my computer and it fits in my phone. I also like that it comes with adapters for other types of phones and a small soft case. I am very satisfied with the customer service of this company and would recommend them. If anyone wants to hear my budgie talk, it's on my YouTube channel, Scary Fear. The video is called Minion My Talking Budgie First Words. I hope to post more when he says Jurassic Park quotes and other fun lines. For other recordings I will probably order another microphone with a shorter cable, since they come with colored windscreens.
