Hi, this video was perfect. You made all of the contents, so digestible and user-friendly, and I like that you had price differences from low to high and you show the technical differences between each of the mics and I think the best thing about it is if you’re just starting out you can just get a lower priced mic and upgrade later but thank you so much
I have noticed the drastic difference in audio when I recently purchased the DJI wireless mic. I think I didn't realized how ok my audio was when vlogging in the busy city of Shanghai with my iPhone.
And for $20 less ($120) you can get the sarasomic. Blows all of these out of the water. Looks like the “shure” … as if shure stole their design and made a lower quality version
Aaaargh... so frustrating because everyone keeps saying the Shure MV88 is the best, but we bought two of them for our iPhones and on multiple occasions they ruined our footage. Always getting weird interference and popping sounds. I'm glad to see there are other options, but so far nothing stands out. We need front and back audio and lots of wind protection. And then there's the issue of using it with a gimbal setup. I'm just starting out in a way, so it's a bit overwhelming...
Does anyone know what distance the Shure MV88 will record at? I've tried Googling for this to no avail. I want a simple plug in mic to use in my treated studio, but to record voice from about 3' away. Is this too far for this mic? TIA
Very helpful. The built-in mic has the widest frequency range and sounds the best (to my ears) but the disadvantage being that it needs you to be close to the phone
What's the best option for filming a small venue heavy metal concert? I plan to attach an Iphone to a rig with an LED light. Is there an affordable mic that can better handle the loud environment with a bass, 2 guitars, drums, and the vocals?
I just wanna make sure I understand this right were you using all of the mic for this blog or were you using only one Mike I’m just trying to clarify not only did you use all of the mics for examples, but primarily which Mike did you use specifically for this video all or just one?
Thank you for this review. Still trying to find the right mic for my TH-cam videos using just my iPhone. I have been living a nightmare trying to use the RODE ME wireless to actually hold a change and work properly. Really enjoy all your videos! Thanks again.
My problem with the lightning connect mic is that EVERYONE that does a “review” allows their phone to go naked. I Otterbox my phone at the store and it stays on till I dump the old phone. I have no interest in modifying my case with a Dremel. Has anyone found a mic that can plug into the port with the case?
For the SHURE mic how far away can you be from it? I'm looking at getting a mic for iPhone to record in a busy city with lot's of background noise! Any advice would be amazing!
Beware the no-name wireless clip on lav mics on the cheap end- I bought one and the sound quality was NOT good. You do get what you pay for. My wired lav works much better. Just thought I’d share my experience.
I like this video because it actually made me realize I don't need a mic for what I'm going to record. The differences are not drastic enough between the microphones. If I'm still indoors in a quiet environment, ther'es no need for an external microphone unless I'm going to spend the money to get one that I would edit in post. Thank you.
4:48 sounds like it's coming from the left. i have a MacBook Pro with Spacial Audio so it will pick that up pretty easily. Crazy to hear the differences with external mics compared to internal ones! I just ordered a mic off Amazon and i'm excited to try it out when it arrives since i do Content Creation! and i wanna get as crystal clear audio as possible
I ended up buying the $20 one and i keep getting stuck with a buzzing sound when its set up. was hoping for a decent cheap option idk how you got it sounding so good but keep up the good videos.
This helps so much. One day if my youtube channel becomes profitable, I would love to buy a real camera but for right now, the best I can do is a proper microphone and my iPhone.
Any suggestions about updates for the iphone 15 since it now has the USB-C port? All of these mics have lightning connectors. Of course, adapters are an option, but that's less than ideal. (Especially because many of them are wired, thus leaving these mics hanging loose!)
Appreciate the effort. Not a very through test on the mics though, should have compared various background noises without mic and with mics being tested. Also out of 6:25 min video, 1:50 is sponsor plug.
Better go for a good product to produce a great and high quality content for your audience rather than going for cheaper to save some bucks which is not good. Good advice, thank you so much
The shure is the best in terms of voice quality. The problem is that you can't hear ambient noise. so for this reason I'm gonna chose the zoom (perfect mix between the 2).
Thanks for the vid. I liked the setting! Seems like the Zoom and Shure were the only ones that didn't sound like they degraded the sound when plugged in. Would have liked to hear more about stereo performance, too.
I had a deity Lav mic that was doing me justice…but the wire was superrrr long on it. Been looking for a mic that just plugs in and can give me the same or better quality audio. That Shure MV8 is the ONE! Thank you for this video.
I have the Deity, too. I keep twist ties handy for that long cord. I’m looking for a wireless mic that I can plug into my iPhone without taking off the Otterbox case.
@@CharlonClarke The cord on my Deity lav mic is around 20 feet long. I thought, “Hey! That’s a plus.” Lol. I’ve managed to trip over the cord, tip the tripod, tangle in shirts. I’m now going wireless because I’ve found a lightening adapter that should let me plug in the receiver without removing the phone case or cutting away with the Dremel.
@@ithinkaboutthings9052 that will be my next move in the future for sure can't go wrong with wireless lol.. 20ft?! and here I am complaining about mine lol
Oh dear, I don’t know which one! I need a new mic but honestly you sounded better in the cheaper ones, so I think the clip wireless would be great but some comments here say it’s no good, so I’m still lost…..
Why does it sound more clear and better to me when you’re using your on the board Mic. Nevertheless, the Mics sounds pretty good to. That last mic is it tho🔥
Hello, could you please make a video on how Think Media made Amazon affiliate link to connect with the Amazon App instead of opening a new browser please?
Anybody finds the iPhone mic better in all cases like I do? The only downside of the iPhone is a low hum across. Sure is crystal clear, I would prefer some more bass such as the SM58
bro i wanna give you a THANK YOU.. my brother spoked whit you last night on skype.. black guy with dreads and yeah he rap:p.. tnx 4 the advise over green screens. very humble from your side.. bless you my man!!!
I own The Zoom mic, sounds really nice - but the iphone connection is loose and cause's popping every time the phone moves of has a slight vibration. You can hear it in this video demo. Makes the audio worthless.
Listening with headphones, everything but the Zoom and Shure sound pretty tinny to me. You lose a lot of bass even compared to the built in iPhone microphone. Think I'm gonna buy the Shure if I can find it. It seems like they only sell the MV88+ here, which comes with a load of accessories I don't really want.
What microphone would you go with? Let me know!!

Great video. Only issue I have with the Shure mic is having to remove my iPhone from the case to use it.
Ignore scammer reply on your comment. Try getting open ended bottom case!
😂
get an extension adapter ...
The zoom and the shure were the only two that made a significant improvement.
And for $20 less ($120) you can get the sarasomic. Blows all of these out of the water. Looks like the “shure” … as if shure stole their design and made a lower quality version
@The Complaining Channel than why do I have it at home. Bought it 2 months ago , genius. What a useless comment
@@Print2shoot Can you please share where did you buy it from?
I didn’t find it anywhere
The MV88 is the best option. I can clearly hear the bass and it concentrates so well on your voice
Shure mic has better quality sound, sounds really natural, but if you really don’t care about sound quality the cheaper one works great.

Great info and content…as always! I prefer the rode and shure microphone…the others were not that good…
😂Look my review
great! I just got a 15pro max...what USB-C compact mini shot gun would you recommend? Something simple...wired is fine-just plug and play...thanks
Thanks, can you still record using the phone's own video app while using these options or do they require you to record separate voice overs?
Makes such a huge difference! We have a Shure plug in works great! Thanks for the info 🎶💯🎸
Honestly dude. The $30 clip mix sounds the best. Had good low end and good high end. Perfect blind.
Agreed! Disappointed in the higher end examples 😮
What's the best option for filming a small venue heavy metal concert? I plan to attach an Iphone to a rig with an LED light. Is there an affordable mic that can better handle the loud environment with a bass, 2 guitars, drums, and the vocals?
the shurew sounds very nice
Awesome review
Definitely getting the Shure mic! Very useful video! Thank you so much!
😂
I just wanna make sure I understand this right were you using all of the mic for this blog or were you using only one Mike I’m just trying to clarify not only did you use all of the mics for examples, but primarily which Mike did you use specifically for this video all or just one?
Great test, thank you. From the design it looks like the zoom is set up for mid/side mixing also. If so, that would be particularly cool for musicians
definitely agree on that
Which one do u suggest to sing and play one acoustic guitar from about 4’ away??
I want to know which mics fit with a case on.
Thank you for this review. Still trying to find the right mic for my TH-cam videos using just my iPhone. I have been living a nightmare trying to use the RODE ME wireless to actually hold a change and work properly. Really enjoy all your videos! Thanks again.

Just get a lightning port extender.
I keep mine plugged in 24/7 to my phone with its otter box on. Mics and other accessories fit great.
@@clickytheblicky9895 I ordered the extender and wireless mic set. So far, works like a charm.
Any suggestions on capturing concerts? Is it best to use the iPhone mic, the AirPods, or another external mic? I’ll be using an iPhone 15.
Dude amazing video, literally went and bought a mic from one of the links in the description 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Thanks for the video.
A question: Is there a latency time on the bluetooth mic? Cause I wanna use it for audiorecording.
For the SHURE mic how far away can you be from it? I'm looking at getting a mic for iPhone to record in a busy city with lot's of background noise! Any advice would be amazing!

I like the Zoom mic but what is the attachment for an IPhone 15??? Thank you for all you do 😊
which mic is good for cooking ASMR videos?

which two do you recommend for BEST low tones (basses in speech) ? Price does not matter
Ha, good sponsor integration by having the mics tested during the read. 👍 Super helpful video.
i watched your other video of Rode mic 2 and i wanted to go with that, is a good option? thanks
That Shure Mic is GOATED
I ended up buying the $20 one and i keep getting stuck with a buzzing sound when its set up. was hoping for a decent cheap option idk how you got it sounding so good but keep up the good videos.
Love that Shure mic!
I’m on the fence between the Zoom iQ7 and the Sure MV88. Looks like the MV88 gives you more bang for the buck due to the onboard video apps.
They all are more than sufficient for a street interview or podcasting. Any option is great!
This helps so much. One day if my youtube channel becomes profitable, I would love to buy a real camera but for right now, the best I can do is a proper microphone and my iPhone.

Are those mics also good to recording drums?
How many in-app purchases are there with these microphones or are the apps and all of the features free?
That’s how a review should look like! Thank you man very helpful.
I have a Zoom iQ7 but upgraded to iPhone 15 Pro Max but it uses USBc. Is there an adapter you recommend so the iQ7 will work?
I wish in the future you can test against a loud source, one of the things I care about is recording a couple of bits from concerts and festivals
How close do you have to be from any of the mics?
Best mic to pick up ambient or noise in general from noisy upstairs neighbors?
Can you monitor any of these with AirPods?
I got the wireless one the other day from Amazon, and am I returning it. Tested it on Instagram and it did not perform well.
Appreciate the effort. Not a very through test on the mics though, should have compared various background noises without mic and with mics being tested. Also out of 6:25 min video, 1:50 is sponsor plug.
Better go for a good product to produce a great and high quality content for your audience rather than going for cheaper to save some bucks which is not good.

Question: Do these also work for phone calls? Because my iPhone's microphone is broken, so I need something to replace it.
Except for the last one (Shure MV 88), it sounds like the other micro's quality is lower than the iphone Built In mic. What are your thoughts ?
What would be the best mic to record events such as football games or concerts.

Great content guys !!! Very valuable. Keep doing.
EXCELLENT content. I can always depend on you guys to nail it.
Do any of these mics work for live fb or IG videos? We have the no name wireless mic and it does NOT work for lives
Shure MV88 by a mile . I’ve compared it to everything and nothing comes close for its purpose . This is why it’s discontinued and so pricey
