What microphone would you go with? Let me know!!

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

[SoSab]

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.

[IDBoater]

Great video. Only issue I have with the Shure mic is having to remove my iPhone from the case to use it.

[Trillionairelevel]

The MV88 is the best option. I can clearly hear the bass and it concentrates so well on your voice

[kensapartmenttours]

Definitely getting the Shure mic! Very useful video! Thank you so much!

[ryanfwood]

Brilliant sponsored segment with the mic tests. Genius and actually useful.

[TheFourthWayOfPhilosophy]

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

[FromShetoMe]

I want to know which mics fit with a case on.

[eddieavakian]

The zoom and the shure were the only two that made a significant improvement.

Thanks, this was helpful and I really appreciated seeing a few specific models. Not all audio will be recorded VLOG or podcast style and location (near the camera) though. There are different types of mic patterns and that should be covered. Dynamic, condenser, lavalier, omni/uni directional, cardioid, supercardioid - for example.

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...

[MackDaddyVic]

Honestly dude. The $30 clip mix sounds the best. Had good low end and good high end. Perfect blind.

[CharlonClarke]

Let me go ahead and add all these to my amazon wishlist.. Great video once again family

[JAISSTEUERVlogs]

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

[ithinkaboutthings]

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?

[Advokitt]

Thumbs up for your clever sponsorship push. You win the internet.

[danielgenest]

Great info and content…as always! I prefer the rode and shure microphone…the others were not that good…

[Hajbibi]

That’s how a review should look like! Thank you man very helpful.

[brandingmitzuni]

Link to 2:44 is broken – does anyone know about an alternative Amazon wireless clip mic? Thank you
