What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives conflicting audio figures: frequency range is listed as 35 Hz - 18 kHz, while separate minimum and maximum values are 100 Hz and 20 KHz, and frequency response is 18 KHz. Treat these as unresolved listing details. The claimed broad device compatibility also contrasts with customer reports of phone-cable incompatibility. For DSLR use, the listing recommends manual audio levels to reduce hiss. A one-year warranty is claimed, with terms not supplied here.

Customer feedback highlights perceived value and help with wind noise, but reports on functionality and sound quality are mixed. Some customers describe the microphone as working well, while others report low sound quality or that it does not work. Reports of broken clips and phone-cable compatibility problems matter for users relying on the claimed shock-mount setup or smartphone connection. The product listing specifies a battery-free shotgun mic with TRS and TRRS cables, but those claims do not resolve reported device-fit or performance concerns.
Positive themes
- Customers describe it as good value and say it helps reduce wind noise.
Negative themes
- Feedback includes reports of clip breakage and phone cable incompatibility.
Mixed feedback
- Customers report mixed experiences with functionality and sound quality, ranging from working well to not working or sounding poor.
