MAONO AU-400 Lavalier Auxiliary Omnidirectional Microphone (Black)

In 400rs this mic is awesome for recording our voice or for youtube videos I got clear voice with this mic and the quality is very good must buy and also useful for beginners

Good product

East to use; Just plug and play. Everything is okay with the product. In this price you are going to have a good experience with the microphone. Just plug it in your laptop/desktop and record. The audio pick-up is clear, crisp and without distortion or ambient noise and it actually reduces unnecessary background noise. The wire quality is acceptable and the connector is very slim, so you can plug it into your phone even with a thick case on, which is good. microphone one of the best mic of this price segment, sound quality very very excellent, this mic connected laptop, computer and other USB port devices This MIC has a perfect noice cancellation and also usefull to make videos... 1. Reasonable Rates as per Mike standard and quality. 2. Sound Quality is good, i am able to record clean voice even ceiling fan's noise bypassed without editing. 3. Build Material of this product was also good First of all it is my first microphone and I'm really hopeful for it. So here it goes. First of all this is complete package, mostly you will find that you have to buy microphone and its accessories individually but here you get all in one package. Secondly, if you look all these items which includes air filter, microphone stand, microphone head cover, microphone splitter, table clam, all are of iron and good quality. I've seem many such products being individually sold at higer prices. Thirdly, the quality of microphone lookwise is also very rich and premium. I mean you'll just love it. The sound quality that this mic gives at this price point is unbelievably GOOD! It competes with mics much higher than its price range. The mic is easy to use with both smartphones and PCs/Macs. The build quality is very good and metal has been used wherever possible. The wire is long and is made of a good material so it should last you for a long time. You also get extra foam covers, batterys and clips with the mic which is a great gesture by the company. The mic has good noise cancelling and records audio very nicely when attached to the collar of your shirt. You also get a 3.5 mm to 6.5 mm audio adapter in the box. This mic is hands down one of the best Lav mics for YouTube videos or stage programs or anything related to audio recording. You can surely go for it.

The first time I had ordered this mic, I received in a amazon plastic bag and the product box inside was completely damaged and was sealed using cello tape. Also, the mic seller sent me was damaged and had low quality audio. It was a duplicate. But, when I replaced, I received the packing in a cardboard box but still the inner box had a few damages. The mix received inside was good. Here is a detailed review of the mic: 1. The quality: Quality overall nice. The wire might seem filthy and weak but in reality when I tested it, it was indeed a bit durable. It can easily sustain a bit of a pull and twist. Just mind the spots when the wire meets the audio jack and the mic 2. Sound quality: Sound quality is really nice. BUT BUT BUT... before you think of buying it, read the paragraph below (of noise cancellation). The mic catches sound equally even if you are from far away or close to it. 3. Noise Cancellation: This is a major point. I used to mic a lot for testing purposes. Let me share my experience. I tested it in different environments. a. In a closed room with AC and total silence: In such environment, you will get crisp sound like a boom microphone. But, you will also receive a bit of white noise or background static noise which you can easily reduce using the noise reduction feature. b. In a room with ceiling fan on and moderate noise: Still seems good but not great. Your vocals would still be crispy and clear but the background noise will increase. Still if you use nice noise reduction software (like Audacity) it will sound great. Adding background music to your video would help. c. In a room with standing fan on and high noise: Not recommended at all. Not only this mic but any mic would capture a TON of noise. To express statistically, there will be atleast 40% noise of wind whooshing in the background. d. The same high noise room with windows open: You will die doing noise reduction. Not gonna lie, the background noise increases by 60 times. DONT TRY THIS. The pop filter or the sponge on the top of the mic helps a lot. When you are speaking close to the mic, a lot of air goes in while speaking. So, when the "filter" is attached, the output sound does not have air whooshing but with the filter removed, the output sound is only air. Now, to sum up... Mic is overall good. Noise cancellation is not great but yeah, for the price range, it is the best! Recording tips: 1. Record in a silent room with A/C or else turn on the fan at the least speed so it doesn't make much noise. 2. Use the collar clip to place the mic, don't hold it in hand. ( I mean this is common sense :-P ) 3. If transmission lines (electricity wires which are above the head) go from close to your room, I would recommend changing rooms. Now, the reason for this is that sometimes, the mic can catch electromagnetic intefrerence. This maono mic won't catch it but I recommend this for generic mics. 4. Do noise reduction in Audacity. It is very effective than the inbuilt noise reduction tools in video editors. Also, it is very easy. Also, BOYA BY-M1 MIC SOUNDS ALMOST THE SAME AS THIS MIC. There is only like 2% difference in noise cancellation. But, I would still give both of them 3 stars for noise cancellation. THAT'S IT! Hope you understand what I mean to say. Peace out.

It's a fake product,not working at any cost.....even not returning it.and no benifits of keeping this,my 425 rs have went in vain .
