Review on 🎙️ MAONO USB Lavalier Microphone: High-Quality Plug & Play Lapel Mic for PC, Mac, YouTube, Skype, Podcasting, Gaming, AU-UL10 by Tina Coleman

So if you want to use this USB lavalier microphone for remote work (Zoom, GoToMeeting, etc.) or virtual schools (MS Teams, etc.), this might be for you. I was able to use this external microphone via USB while STILL using the MacBook's internal speakers. I could NOT do this with a similar lav mic with a 3.5mm TRRS headphone/mic combo jack. This may be because MacOS treats any use of this port as EVERYTHING (mic + headphones) or nothing, even if you're just trying to use an external mic like I did. It is better to bypass this connector and use USB. In MacOS 10.15.6, the microphone was recognized immediately without drivers or software. Added bonus: you don't need batteries as it is powered by the USB port. The downside is that you can only use this mic with computers. You cannot use this microphone with a camera, smartphone or tablet. hope this helps you For your health.
