and it's the best yet

I've tried many microphone options for recording live lectures (when moving around the classroom) and this is the best so far. It's very light, easy to set up and has great sound quality. Just plug it into a USB port on my computer and it immediately shows up as an audio source. Two suggestions for great sound quality: 1) Be sure to place your USB receiver in a location that has a clear, unobstructed path for streaming to avoid interference from other electronic devices. 2) Change the batteries

Pros
  • Sturdy surface
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great for Hy-Flex practice but get another Lava mic

As others have said this works very well but the mini XLR mic itself isn't very good. I spent another $30 and got a different mic and WOW what a difference. I recommend: JK MIC-J 044 lavalier microphone Lavalier microphone compatible with AKG Samson radio transmitter - Mini XLR TA3F connector Can I still recommend this device? Yes, because it's the best wireless USB microphone I've tested. BUT the mic is not loud enough even at maximum gain. I'm testing microphones for streaming audio toโ€ฆ

Great long range wireless mic

I stream on Twitch and already have a reasonably decent streaming setup including an AT2020USB+ mic (decent midrange mic for streaming or podcasting if you turn the noise off so that he stops pecking Martian farts). But as a variety streamer I also do art and stuff, so I wanted to take my stream outside to do epoxy art. This means I need both hands and no more tangling cords. This mic did a wonderful job. It sounds great, has amazing range (I forgot to turn the sound off and my stream made meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quick changeover
Cons
  • Something's wrong

Disabled when receiver and transmitter are more than 2 feet apart, support ignores both requests

this. Fast forward a year and a few months. I use it to record yoga videos and it mostly (if not completely) turns off when the transmitter is 2 feet or more from the receiver. it's new) and the receiver didn't even light up when connected to my iPhone. I tested the adapter to make sure it wasn't the problem and connected other USB devices with no issues. So my guess is that the receiver is simply defective or poorly designed. I emailed support using the contact details listed here and didn'tโ€ฆ
