I have tried 3 styles of lavalier mics for iPhone/Android/PC/Mac. These have the rectangular, "thumb drive" style mic. These were cheapest I found, that included dead cat windscreens. There is a pretty loud pop/buzz when I turned mute on or off. That is somewhat annoying, but another one I used did the same thing. I recommend NOT having the speaker use the on-mic button and just mute on the device or edit the audio after the fact. The sound quality of these lavs is actually very good for mics this inexpensive.
The mics and receiver worked perfectly. My iPhone, using the USB-C to Lightning adaptor (included), paired and I was ready to record. I had basically the same experience using Lightning adaptor on iPad, iPhone, as well as USB-C (no adaptor) on Mac and Windows. I was immediately able to record using Twisted Wave (INCREDIBLE iOS recorder/editor, BTW!), GarageBand, and Audacity. I don't have an Android, so I couldn't test that.
Dead cat ("fluffy") windscreens are definitely superior to black foam. There are use cases where the dead cat is not best so it is nice to have both. Noise cancellation wasn't exceptional. My mini-fridge fan was LOUD when the mic was too close but fine farther away. I don't think exceptional noise cancellation should be expected in this price range.
Dead cats: The fuzzy/hairy/fluffy, gray covers
They look good and do their job (less wind noise, even from breath). The ONLY complaint I have with the dead cats is getting them BACK ON. Another reviewer recommend a pair of "dull scissors" to spread open the elastic. I used needle nose pliers instead and that worked very well.
TO PUT THE DEAD CATS BACK ON:
-stick the tip of the needle nose into the elastic opening at the bottom.
-carefully and gently open the needle nose to make a space for the lab mic
-insert mic head into the opening in the elastic
-once it is in slightly, you will have to work it all the way down until it fits in the groove for the elastic about 1/4" down the mic head
There you go, easy way to put the dead cats back on. Now you don't have to fear swapping the foam/dead cats for a given scenario!
SUMMARY:
Very decent mics. Good voice quality. Virtually no setup, plug and play. Mute button is noisy. Noise cancellation isn't amazing. Overall very good for the price. These have the "thumb drive" rectangular shape, rather than the tube shape, if that matters to you. They work as expected.
ADVICE:
I used a different style that was just a few dollars more. The price was originally the same, but these dropped a few dollars after I bought the others. (10 vs. 15?) The others had 2 extra foam tips (total of 4) and 2 extra mic clips. They were the tubular style lav body rather than this rectangle style. If they are the same price as these, I would recommend them because the extra foam and clips could prove useful and the sound/quality was very similar. If these are cheaper, then you can decide what is best for your needs.
