Lapel mic is a bit weak. You almost have to hold it for it to capture your voice. If you wear it over a shirt/collar, the sound will be weak. Ditto for the headset mic, which is slightly better than the lapel mic but still not as great for vlogging use. The handheld microphone is what sets this device apart and the sound quality is good. There is a phone holder and audio cable, but unfortunately to use either of these you have to remove any case on the phone as the audio cable will not fit into the phone's audio jack. The audio cable has a wide plastic eyelet that prevents you from using it while wearing a phone case. Terrible design. My Uhuru package had no plastic wrapping to indicate it was new. I'm not sure if it was a return.
