Wired Lavalier tie-clip microphone for phones & tablets

Score: 10/10

The Lavalier lapel tie-clip microphone I received cam with its own little faux leather storage and carrying case. This is a nice touch to have as it keeps all the accessories and the microphone itself safe, clean and all together.

The microphone clip feels very sturdy and substantial. I am certain this will last a long time of use as it is not flimsy at all. The mic plugged straight into my iPad Air 4, having a USB-C connector at the end of the cable. It also ships with a USB-C to USB-A adapter for even more versatility.

The mic doesn’t require batteries, being a wired accessory, so it is useable any time you need it. The attached cable is 6m in length, so perfect for every use I can imagine. The quality of the recordings I have made with this mic using the built-in Voice Memo app are superb and, to my ears, of a professional standard.

The microphone comes with 2 replacement wind shields and 2 replacement lapel clips. This is very useful as it gives the product a far greater longevity. I am thrilled with this mic and impressed by its low price. Definitely a good product.

Wireless Lavalier microphone for iPhone

Score: 10/10

This Lavalier lapel microphone is superb! It comes in a hard zipped storage case to protect itself and keeps all the accessories together. In the box is a USB cable for charging the mic (the receiver does not require charging), a receiver and the microphone itself.

After I had charged the mic, I plugged the receiver straight into my iPhone 14 without removing my phone from its case. I clipped the mic to my t-shirt, opened the phone and opened the Voice Memo app. I pressed the microphone’s power button and started a recording. The sound quality and volume of the recording at normal speaking volume is superb and, being hands-free as it comes with a clip, I was free to concentrate on my recording.

If your iPhone is low on power, the receiver has a lightning port on one side, allowing you to charge your phone whilst continuing to use the mic. This is a wonderful addition and one that I know will prove to be useful in the future. I host a radio show and I needed a good quality microphone to do this, and I am thrilled with the one I have found. I received this item through the Amazon Vine scheme.

The microphone is lightweight but sturdy and the sound quality is better than I could have hoped for. I am seriously impressed with this. There was no setting up or installing of any extra apps required and, being wireless, it gave me the freedom to move whilst I was recording.
