Good product yet had to return / UPDATED 03/08/22
UPDATED 03/08/22 - Decided to keep product. As mentioned in original review, the items are well-made and function as designed even though does not work with my hearing aids as I need... The only fault I place on seller is not clearly stating it cannot be plugged into phone when wanting to listen. Not everyone is a tech guru.The product functioned as described as long as using headsets. I had to return the item as the description does not mention that one MUST use headphones to listen OR unplug the mic to listen. Wearing hearing aids, I need to interact (listen and talk simultaneously) and can't wear headphones for my purposes. It certainly does not work for me to UNPLUG the mic each time I need to listen.Customer service, once in touch was GREAT. They list a WhatsApp telephone number for Customer Service... received zero response. I received a prompt reply within 24-hours once I sent an email and the kind folks did everything they could to satisfy my needs. Apparently, cellphone mic/speaker jacks only work for listening if using an adaptor and headsets. That doesn't work for my needs.If I find a solution, I will buy the same lavalier mic set as it functioned well and, conveniently included, is a perfect carrying bag for the mic and extra connectors et al.

Does not work with Pixel4XL with given USB-C adapter
Does not work with my Pixel4XL with the given USB-C adapter.In fact, USBC adapter is not recognised on any USB- C compatible recorder.I contacted the support team and they suggested me to buy USB-C adapter for my phone for which they refunded the amount from my purchase.

Good mic, great value, excellent customer service
I'm a teacher at a small college and bought this mic to help prepare online lessons and for video sessions with my students after the pandemic closed campuses. The mic works well, has good sound quality, and is very flexible.The PowerDeWise mic comes in several package options, all of which have the same mic but different adapters and pack-ins, or no adapters.This package is advertised for Android phones, but works with any device with USB-C inputs. I'm using it with a 2020 iPad Pro and a 13" MacBook Pro (with USB-C ports). It works well with both devices - they recognize the mic instantly and start using it instead of the built-in mics. Sound quality is good.The pack-ins include a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, an extension cord (the built-in cord is 6 feet long and the extension gives you another 6 feet), a lapel clip, and a small, lightweight foam pouch that keeps everything together.The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter included in the package was defective. I contacted PowerDeWise and they resolved the situation immediately, at no expense to me. They were very friendly about it, and also apologized for the inconvenience to me. I couldn't be happier with the customer service.For the price, this is an excellent mic with pack-ins that make it useful in a variety of use-cases.My only concern is the mic cable is very thin. It works absolutely fine, but over the years I've found that thin cables like this are prone to developing shorts. Every time you're done with the mic, you'll probably wind up or roll up the cable so you can fit it in the pouch with the other pack-ins. It may well last forever, but I just can't speak to the long-term durability until I've been using it for a year or longer.If you can spend more money, you can probably find a mic with a more durable cord. But for the $29 or so I paid for this mic, I'm not complaining.My advice is to look at the different package options for the PowerDeWise mic and get the package with the best price that meets your needs. At the time I bought this, the package with the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter was $10 cheaper than the package with no adapter; if that's still true, then get this one even if you don't need the adapter. If you have bought a bunch of different devices over the years, you may already have the adapters you need, or maybe you don't need any adapter - then just buy whichever package is the cheapest - the mic is the same in all the packages.In summary, highly recommended - mic works well, customer service is fast and very helpful, and the pack-ins make the mic useful in a variety of use-cases.

It broke within seconds of opening it
I took the lavaliere mic out of the pouch, and I while was trying to adjust the clamp on my clothes a small piece of plastic snapped off and the mic couldn't be attached to the clamp. I tried to use see if it could be used anyway, using 3.5mm to USB-C adapter provided; I checked my sound settings on my MacBook Pro to make sure the new mic could be seen in the system with input volume turned all the way up....but no audio was recording in Zoom. I returned it immediately.

Mic is great converter is not
We bought this for my husband to use for his self tape auditions. The mic is amazing but once you snap on the converter you get a high pitched screeching sound. So he has to use my phone which has an audio jack and it works great 5 stars. But the usb c converter is awful which is why i gave thos 3 stars.

Great little microphone.
Always good to have a second mic around for those unexpected requirements. Or is he just like a mic that’s not in the way, or in view. Works great.

You can hear me know
Great for Zoom meetings. I didn't want to sound like I was talk in a can when giving a presentation. I'm to I sound nice and clear. Works well with all devices, however you may have to use the adapter with a pc. ( It's included)

Really good cheap lavalier mic
I bought this mic to produce better audio quality in youtube videos that I needed to record for my work. I was speaking for about 15min throughout my videos and this mic was much better than my Samsung S10's mic by far. It really picks up the user's voice well and didn't pick up any background noise from my office setup. There was no hissing or popping in the audio so I was able to increase the audio volume during the editing process without any white noise getting in the way. I recorded about 70 videos with this mic, and never had a problem with utilizing this mic in any of them. This is definitely worth the price! You won't be disappointed!

Great mic for my smartphone
Worked well with my Samsung S20+. However the usb-c adapter included in the pack did not work well with the S20+, with loss of quality experienced in the recordings. Fortunately it worked very well with another usb-c adaptor which I had bought separately

Couldn't get this to work!
I tried to get this working with several cameras, phones, and even a computer. Nothing worked. I do NOT recommend this product.

Looks the part, but awful sound
The mic does capture sound, but it's really tinny and has constant static. I wish I spent just a little more and bought a decent one from a good brand, instead of a middle amount on a cheap mic. Lesson learned.
