Review: Favorite mic as a food creator - After a year’s use, I think I can give a pretty honest review. So Im a food reel creator and this mic has been instrumental in getting great sound. Small and compact, and love the use of batteries as opposed to charging. I ended up buying a separate longer cable more flexibility of placement. The ONLY con I would say I have is there is a humming sound in the final result, but I’ve been able to edit it out in Final Cut Pro. Would recommend :)
Review: Pleasantly surprised about this microphone… - It’s Sennheiser, what do you expect? Of course I was going to like it, but I bought the product used, so I was definitely surprised to find out how well it performed. The battery life is excellent, just make sure to carry a couple extra in emergencies. It is very portable on my rig, and can be used on a gimbal due to how light it is. Since I purchased it used, it was so affordable for what you get out of it! It might not be as directional as you’d like it to be, but it performs better than my built in mic on my camera, and even uses a cold shoe! It would be nice if there was a hot shoe option, but I digress. It has two cables to connect with, one of which I solely use. The mic quality is excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone that doesn’t really need the $1k boom mic, but still is looking for portability, and quality. My biggest complaint is how it twists on to the cold shoe mount. I feel as if it fell off a bit more then I’d like it to, but that might have been the fault of the cage on my camera, who knows… but all in all, it’s worth the purchase for your next videography gig!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: With the mobile kit can you insert the phone vertically instead of horizontally?**
A: Yes. Rotate the clamp horizontally and clamp the phone from the right and left sides.

**Q: I recently purchased the mke440 but the light blinks red and it blinks faster and faster finally the indicator just stays red. there is no signal too?**
A: The light blinks once when it is turned on, that's it. If you only turn it half on, you get the wind muffler. There is no signal.

**Q: Is the cord hardwired? on the mke 200 and 400 it is a threaded trrs female jack.**
A: It is wired. Includes TRS male on both (mic side) and one of each a TRS (camera) and TRRS (smartphone, etc.) male to male cable.

**Q: Will this mount on a Go Pro Hero 10?**
A: Not directly. You’d need some kind of casing with a cold shoe mount. You might look into the media case for the GoPro which has a mic.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neat and effective directional mic for DSLR and phone filming.
*by R***. on January 27, 2026*

A light, neat, easy to set up mic that does what it says in terms of bringing a warm, directional audio recording to my Sony A7Sii and iPhone 17 Pro. Indoors, the directional mic reduces tinny roomy echo for both the camera and the phone, but I haven't used it outdoors yet. 3 features I particularly like. 1) The auto On feature is really useful in case you forget to turn it on, and the iPhone 17 Pro automatically selects the mic as the audio input once connected, so I didn't have to go into Settings to override the phone's mic. 2) I like the cable connection in preference to messing around with yet another Bluetooth pairing that might drop signal. 3) The package that includes the mini pod for the iPhone is a great bit of solid, easy to set up kit that doubles as a mini tripod for my camera. 3 small criticisms. 1) The mic's output mini jack doesn't tighten without a bit of pressing, implying that mine might be a little out of line internally? 2) Doesn't come supplied with a minijack-to-USBC input for the phone, so I had to buy an adapter and hope it worked (an Apple one did). 3) The gain has to be switched to high for the iPhone for a loud enough recording that doesn't hiss (my camera seems fine with normal gain). An easy switch to do, but one more thing to remember before you record on the phone, because it doesn't have audio level meters to show you that the input signal is low. Overall looks like good value for money if it lasts. I'm a professional who uses Senneheiser gun mics for TV shows, and the pro level Sennheisers are the go-to for reliable run and gun filming. I hope this domestic version lives up to their good name.
