Good analog mic that is good for public speaking, but may not be right for digital recording..
When I write a review, I like to be fair and honest. If I buy something that does not perform, I am not afraid to tell people. But with this mic, I am not quite sure whether it did not perform well, or if it did not perform for my purpose, which is different. Let me explain. I do a lot of outdoor videos. Recently the mic on my best camera developed a buzzing sound. It appears that the mic has gone bad. The camera takes amazing video though so I want to keep using it. So, I need an external recording device that I can record an audio track with that I can add to the video in post-production editing. I thought something like this Fifine mic would do the trick. To test this mic out I placed it next to my galaxy smartphone and another camcorder with a built-in mic and then started talking for a few seconds, recording on each device. When I reviewed the audio that was captured, I was surprised to find that the volume of the audio from this mic was significantly less than from the smartphone and the camcorder. It was not bad audio, it was just not as loud as the other two. I did some testing and found that the mic on this unit had to be within a few inches of my mouth to really pick up good and get some volume while recording digital audio on my computer. The resulting recording also seemed to be lacking in bass. But then I hooked the unit up to an amplifier and tried it that way. Completely different. The sound from the amplifier was loud, smooth and full. Nothing like what it sounded like when recording to the computer. It sounded really good. I sang a song it sounded so good. I started thinking of where I could use it to do public speaking. LOL! I am no audio expert. I can't explain why this Fifine wireless mic system sounded so good over an amplifier system and not so good when to record on my PC. It might be that it produces an analog signal instead of a digital signal and volume and bass ar lost in the conversion process from analog to digital. That is my best guess. The one thing that really surprised me with this unit is how far the reach was. I did some testing and got up to 350 feet away and had a clear signal. At about 360 feet I started to get a little interference, but I was able to go all the way out to 400 feet away from the receiver and still understand what I was saying. Of course, this was an open-air Line-of-Sight test with nothing in between the transmitter and the receiver. But still, you could easily use this thing in a football stadium. Bottom line: I think this mic will work just fine for anyone who does public speaking (like a pastor of a church). It will work for digital recording, but not very well.

Incredible sound, easy to use, A+ for teaching
I'm a music teacher. After four years of losing my voice around concert times, I caved and got this microphone. It has been a godsend. I don't have to yell to be heard, and I don't have to sing over the piano or buckets the students are playing. I can move the mic closer or farther away from my face to change the volume, and my speaker (Ion tailgater) has a separate channel for mic so I don't have to worry about volume. Highly recommend, along with some four rechargable AA and AAA batteries. These last all day, but I've found the receiver batteries die after about a day and a half, depending on if I turn it off when I'm not teaching. I have the amazon basics rechargable batteries and charger, and since the unit only takes two of each, I have a second set that's ready to go the second the ones in the unit dies. I toss those on the charger, and pull them off when they're done (little hands in my classroom), and then I can put them on in the next few days when the ones in the unit die. There is a battery level on the microphone pack, but not the receiver. Otherwise, easy to pair, easy and fairly comfortable to use.

From Disappointed to Delighted!
UPDATE 7/17/18 - I am happy to change my original 2-star review to 5 stars! The first mic I got had a terrible high-end screech, and as I dialed down to the correct volume, a high-pitched digital "hiss." I played with it and could get it to reduce, but not go away. This is on a Sony RX10 Mark 4. I sent the mic back, rather than wait for an exchange, due to a deadline. To Fifine's great credit, they followed up with me. Even though I had returned the unit, they asked if I would like another one to test. Their customer service was excellent (which is why I had updated my original review to 3 stars. Good customer service is rare, and they should be recognized for it). I enjoy testing and technology, so I said that I would be willing to test another unit and determine whether I just had something wrong in the original unit, or whether the mic wasn't compatible. Today, I tested it on my interview set, using all the same settings as the lapel mic I'm presently using. I'm pleased to say that performance was stellar. Good, clean signal; no hiss. The mic element has pretty good response. I haven't distance-tested it, but I suspect it will be fine, as both the transmitter and receiver have external antennas. Unlike a lot of mics, you can change frequency as well, if there is any interference. I do have one thing I wished it had: a hotshoe mount. The receiver is strictly a box. Now I know it will be easy to get some sort of hotshoe mount bought or made and glue it on -- I plan to do that (I'll probably 3-D print it)-- not a major deal. So to sum up: Fifine took a negative experience, and turned it into a VERY positive one. The mic now works perfectly; you also get a headset mount which will be useful in some situations. The price is unbeatable. To be crystal clear: they sent this unit for me to test and provide an update. I like it so much that I will keep it, and I'll put a hotshoe mount on the receiver to make it work in the field. Definitely recommended! UPDATE 7/10: I added a star for customer service. I've been discussing the problem with them. They've been VERY supportive, and very interested in a thorough compatibility test. I'm going to try it again, and I'll update this review once I do. UPDATE 7/8: After more troubleshooting, I believe the problem is that the electronics of either the transmitter or the camera are not shielded appropriately (although I suspect the $34.95 receiver a whole lot more than an $1800 camera). I've decided to send it back - no reflection on the seller, who I haven't given enough time to respond, but I need this ready next week. ORIGINAL: I just got the mic today to connect to my Sony RX10 Mark 4 for some interviews I wanted to do. I have a Sony hotshoe mic, which has beautiful sound, but it was picking up too much reverb/echo from the room. When I connected the receiver to the camera, I immediately got a loud, high-pitched screech. I dialed down the input volume a lot and moved cables. Eventually I was able to get the background noise down to a high-pitched digital-sounding hiss. It gets dramatically worse when I turn on the transmitter, even with no mic plugged in. I tried moving the cables, changing channels,playing with the volume, but I just can't get a clean signal. It just may not be compatible with my camera. I've emailed customer service a few minutes ago; I'll give them a day or so to see what they say. Since I'm planning to do my interviews next week, if they don't respond quickly, I'll probably pick up a different brand and return this one. If the problem gets solved, I'll update the review and the stars.

Outstanding for the Price! Use it for my business videos
Been using this wireless mic set for about 6 months now and am very happy with it. I keep it in a plastic tub when not in use, so it stays safe. My business marketing runs on video, and this inexpensive product has helped take audio quality to a new level--and audio is a critical component in video production. People will put up with a less-than-perfect picture, but if the audio is bad, they're outta there. I plug this unit into my Zoom H1 and download the audio from the SD card to PC. Then I combine that audio track with the one from the video camera and delete the camera's audio track. Presto! Quick and easy good quality audio! Doesn't chew through batteries, either: I've replaced them once during this period. I use it a couple times a week.

REVISED: Great Customer Service - Original order had bad solder joint on mic connection
I used this wireless mic three or four times and then it quit. I thought it was my USB soundcard but I finally opened up the case to the microphone to see that the soldered connections to the microphone connector had broken away from the circuit board. I was able to solder the two connections together and get my microphone working, but the case is designed, with the "set" switch on the top, so there seems to be constant pull on the two pins connecting the mic connection to the circuit board. This design makes the microphone very fragile. I'm not sure how long my solder joints will last. Otherwise, I'm pleased with this mic although this design flaw caused me to miss over a month's worth of recordings. At least I know what the problem is and can always go back into the case and resolder it. (Sorry, I should have taken a shot when the case was open. Don't want to mess with it now though.) REVISED: Fifine responded quickly to my review, asking for more details and photos to help them when they redesign the mic in the future. They not only replaced the microphone, but gave me the option to choose from the mic I had originally ordered (K037 which needed a separate USB sound card in order to record directly with my computer) or a K031 which includes a USB sound card. I just received the new mic and it works very well with my Macbook.

Best $35 I’ve spent on anything like this....maybe ever...
I’ll start by saying that I’m a true gear snob...but I was in a pinch and needed this for an event because another unit I was going to purchase was not available...I wasn’t expecting much for the selling price, but I was extremely impressed and surprised by the quality of this unit. The mic itself could have a slightly larger pickup pattern because if it’s clipped too low on your shirt and you’re looking straight ahead, you’ll need to boost the gain quite a bit and work some post pro magic if that’s the type of project you’re working on. I’ve used it on a ton of projects thus far and will continue to do so (interviews, live speaking, explanation videos, etc). I use Energizer rechargeable batteries and I haven’t even had to change the first set yet. The clarity/distance (unobstructed) is fantastic. Zero complaints. I actually had a mini xlr (male) to 1/4” female adaptor from one of my old line 6 wireless guitar units. I wanted to see if it would work with my guitar and yet again...blown away. Not exactly what it was designed for but in a pinch, I’d use it live and I tour quite a bit.

Great System for anyone on a budget

It seems like an excellent product
I had some difficulty, the units were not pairing. It took a day for customer support to get back with me. We determined low voltage levels in the batteries on the receiving unit. My new AAA batteries must have been week. I could find no reason for them to drain change to a more reliable brand, even went to a rechargeable battery. I tested the mic over a couple day and then last night used the mic for a 3 hr presentation. It seems like an excellent product. Customer support went way beyond expectations.

Works with computer under the correct configuration.
I purchased this with the intent of making instructional videos for my customers. I also purchased a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter in hopes that I could record audio straight to my computer. Adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LKKLJD0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My laptop doesn't even show an audio device associated with the audio input and as such it wouldn't work, but my desktop does and upon pairing transmitter to receiver and plugging everything in, I could see the audio level dancing on the front panel input. Audacity wouldn't pic anything up at first, but I checked the preferences and sure enough, I had to set the recording device to the front panel input, and now everything is working as intended. I tested sound quality walking around the room while completing random tasks and I'm actually pretty impressed with how little background noise it picks up without any need to digitally alter the recording after the fact. I got rechargeable batteries to use with it, and they seem to work fine, but I've not tested drain. Thus far pretty pleased with the purchase.
