Wireless Lavalier Microphone-U05

This is probably one of the most budget friendly options for a wireless mic transmitter/receiver setup you will find anywhere. That being said, it's still an extremely good buy. Setup and use is extremely easy, turn it on, plug it in and you're done. For those of you who aren't sure of how to use this with your computer/phone/tablet - this does not pair wirelessly, nor does it plug it with the USB port for audio transfer. You need to plug this into a 1/4" TRS or 1/8" mic jack to use this. If your chosen device does not have that jack, you can buy an adapter or search for a "usb sound card." Now that that's out of the way. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even with the included microphone (I'm assuming it is better with a higher quality microphone but sadly, i did not have one to test it with). After recording the video review, I did notice that the hiss pretty much disappeared when I moved the receiver away from my tripod. I think the aluminum tripod acted like a bit of an antenna for interference. The sound is actually more than adequate, and especially considering the price you're paying. Overall, I'd highly recommend this for someone who is trying to record videos/audio for pretty much anything except if you're recording an album in a studio. Good job Hotec, and amazing value for the price!

I bought this mic to record online lectures and it served its purpose well. Both the receiver and the mic charge very fast and the battery lasts for a couple of hours. Battery indicators tell you when the battery is low. The microphone pack has a clip, so you can clip it, say, to your waistband. Or you can just put it in your pocket. I did not use it with the headset but with the little lapel microphone clip, which is very subtle and stayed on my collar really well. You can adjust the volume on the microphone pack. Now, this is important: if you use the adapter to plug the receiver into your laptop or phone, you have to attach a set of headphones to the headphone port. If you only attach the microphone to the mic port and do nothing else, it will not record. I found this out by looking around on Youtube. Apparently, your device expects there to be both a mic and headphones, so it won't work unless you plug in both!!! Once I plugged in both mic and a set of headphones, my phone automatically recorded from the external mic. However, for some reason, I was unable to get it to work on my Macbook. Not sure what the problem was there. My phone is an Android. The sound quality is good enough for my purposes. I noticed that if I turned the volume on the mic all the way up, I got some distortion in the recording when I was speaking loudly. I used the volume level 12, which gave me a good audio. The resulting video has a decently loud and clear audio. Background noise (such as a plane flying by or a dog barking) is audible, though, so make sure you record in a quiet environment. Finally, let me just say that I enjoy the design of the microphone. It's small and sleek. I don't know if you care about such things, but I always like when my electronics look nice.

I recently bought this microphone to enhance my YouTube content. I have already have Yeti Microphone, but I needed something wireless when I need to move around during gameplay (I have a gaming channel) while I use a Virtual Reality headset. There are limitations to the current headset that does not enable the microphone in the headset to stream to other devices. In order to share my on-time reactions, I wanted a lavalier microphone and after research and reviews, I decided on this microphone. I had already spent enough on my Yeti microphone but did not want to spend a lot on a lavalier microphone that I would be using all the time. As soon as I received the microphone, I looked over the instructions and plugged it into my desktop (Omen Gaming PC running on Windows 10). The microphone was not being recognized by my PC. I tried everything and even looked into the troubleshooting section in the manual. I was up until MIDNIGHT trying to get this microphone to work and then suddenly right before I went to bed after defeat I had an idea. I knew the microphone was working, but my PC was not recognizing it. So I bought a USB soundcard (off of Amazon as well) and that did the trick. I plugged in the microphone into the soundcard-which was plugged into the computer and it immediately started working (on the software that I was using to record video)! So after that work around the microphone was able to FINALLY WORK. Now here is why I choose my ratings: -SOUND QUALITY Once the computer and the software recognized the microphone I listened to the playback of the sound quality and in all honesty, it sounds EXCELLENT. If you are not familiar with audio adjustment or filters that you can add to audio this might be a little tricky to use in outdoor environments. But with some later software adjustments, I could get this lavalier microphone to sound like a studio-quality microphone easily. It does pick up ALOT of background noise, so if you are outside and there's a lot of background noise I can't guarantee it will not pick up the other sounds. -EASY TO USE It is plug and play, the mics, mini receiver, and the transmitter were able to synch together as soon as I turned them on but trying to get my PC to recognize it was a nightmare. So I WILL WARN YOU AHEAD OF TIME be prepared or go ahead and buy ahead of time the USB sound card they range anywhere from $12-$20. -VALUE FOR MONEY The build of both the microphones, mini receiver, and the transmitter are great. They don't feel like cheap plastic and they have some weight to them. A lot of lavalier microphones that many YouTuber's use are 2-3x the price average so this is great value. -OVERALL RATING 4/5 because of the difficulty of trying to get my computer to recognize the microphone that notched it down from being 5 out of 5 stars. If it was truly plug in and play it would of been able to receive the 5 stars EASY.

What a difference this made!!! Extremely clear!!!

In looking for an inexpensive headset for fitness classes, this was actually the 3rd different one I tried. First option was surprisingly good. Took a beating, soaked in sweat and lasted longer than expected. 2nd one still works. But, to save $10 I lost a lot of quality. I got this one on a recommendation. It was pretty good. Just not as good as my first one as far as sound quality. Where this one excels is the signal quality and distance. But, I used it 6 times before it started crackling relentlessly. For me, this was a waste of money. Especially now with the masks required at the gym, there's no sweat dripping on the mic, this should last much longer than roughly 6 hours of use. I'm definitely disappointed.

I tried this with my Galaxy S9+, GoPro Hero7 and computer. It didn't work with anything. It did work with my phone one time. But it never worked again. As best I can tell, the problem is with the connector jacks. First, they just feel really cheap and flimsy. When you plug one of the wires into them they're very loosey-goosey and you're never sure if they're solidly connected. Since I had the one successful attempt on my S9, I kept fiddling around with it and did about ten more tries. ALL of them were completely silent except one other. The only other video that I could get audio out of when this was plugged into my phone - all I got was a little scratchy sound as I twisted the male jack back and forth in the female socket. As I was twisting it I got a very scratchy sound and could hear my voice a bit (barely). But when I stopped messing around with it the sound was gone again. The bottom line is this - sure, maybe you'd be able to get it to work here and there. BUT... you'll never know if it worked until after you finish making your recording. It's so unreliable you'll have no way of knowing except by listening after you've made each recording. So, who is going to sit there and make any video of any length, 1, 2, 5, 10 minutes or more without having some way of knowing if it's picking up your audio until after you're done! Sorry, Hotec, but I need something far more reliable than that. I'm not going to risk wasting my time on even a quick 30-second video when I can't know for sure it's picking up the audio. Oh, and don't bother responding to this 1-star review, like you have to all the others. I don't need to know your support people will be happy to help me out. There's actually nothing they can do because your product is so cheaply made and flawed. No amount of support can fix that. So, please don't waste their time... not on my behalf anyway.

I read the reviews and was still skeptical given the price, but bit the bullet and have been very pleased. I'm using the headset mic live onstage, for a special part of our band's performance where I sit in front of the crowd for a few songs. I'm not able to get it as loud as a regular live mic and still avoid feedback, but frankly I didn't think it would work at hardly any volume without substantial feedback, and yet it does. The sound is amazingly good when you factor in the price, the charging and operations are easy and straightforward. and it's now worked solidly for three gigs and I figure that's now enough to have shaken down any issues. Very pleased thus far.

I bought this product to do virtual fitness classes. The sound quality has upped the quality of my classes. Because it comes with a wireless transmitter, I am able to move around while talking. I can be far enough from the camera to show my whole body and I don't need to talk loudly for people to hear me. First, I was using this with my Iphone and then I was able to transition to using it on my computer. Very adaptable! I've also been able to take this to other studios and plug directly into their speaker system. The product comes with lots of adapters for the wireless transmitter so there's always a plug that will work. Note: this does NOT come with a lightning cable adapter so you'll need to buy this adapter separately if you want to plug this into your Ipad or Iphone. Overall, this is a great product for the price and I'm very happy with it.

Just what I needed to blog with as the video camera is not near where I am talking from.

Buen sonido, la señal se mantiene a más de 30 más sin ninguna distorsión, duración de hasta 5hrs de la bateria. Un producto muy bueno por el precio pagado. Lo recomiendo mucho para clases o conferencias
