ZealSound Condenser Microphone, Recording and Broadcaster with Stand Built-in Sound Card Karaoke Singing for iPhone Windows (Gold)

Purachased this product. Performance is below average, Echo effects is non standard. I used Xiaokoa brand, before. It was amazing. Go for Xiaokoa better & cheaper than Zealsound.

use sponge cap on top of microphone to avoid Wind noise.

I bought this mic a few weeks ago and it works really well! The design looks sleek and modern. I used it for recording songs and the recordings came out sounding very good. But you can not expect any professional-sounding recordings and it isn’t very directed. The packaging is small so it is convenient to take it with you on the road. The mic set up instructions are easy to follow. I am excited to use it to record more songs in the future! Such a good and inexpensive product!

My daughter needed to record an audition piece with her viola for an audition. It had to be an unedited video recording. The video on our phones was fine but the audio was not up to par. I really needed something I could plug into my phone to supplement the audio. I was not expecting to get this amazing mic for the price. I assembled the stand in 1 min and then you slide the mic in, voila! So easy to get started. The mic comes with every input you would need. Aux cable, charger, audio hook ups. I could have used my converter for a lightning cable but I decided to use my S9 to record. It was the easiest part of this process. We were in a small studio and there was a strings class next to us. I positioned the mic on the piano out of frame but close to her. This microphone picked up every note and every breath of my daughter but was just far away enough that it didn't capture the sound next door. It was awesome, like it targeted her sound. The sound experience was transformed from using the phone audio. When I used the phone audio the sound volume was lower (proximity) and it missed the highs and lows of the notes. There was also a small amount of white noise. The sound with the microphone was rich and comprehensive. I could not believe the sound it was able to produce. Amazing!

Happy with my new mic. This it my first mic ever1) Ordered it sevreal days ago and recieved it fast2) Nice professional look3) Works perfect for Smule .Good quality of sound comparing to the earphone - 5 stars *I have Samsung Galaxy J34) The cables are white. They should be black5) Have to take the case off the phone (Samsung J3) in order to connect the audio cable. It does not fit if the case is onOverall rating 4.5 stars

Summary: This microphone is well worth the price. If you don't want to spend more than $30 and you're willing to work with software filters, I would strongly recommend this microphone.This was one of the best valued purchases I've made. I would easily pay double what I paid for this microphone. Because it's a fairly inexpensive microphone, I wasn't expecting amazing sound quality, but it actually does its job quite well. Out of the box, it buzzes a little bit, which is easily fixed with a couple free audio filters (I used VST plugins on my computer). The included tripod is about 5 inches tall and has adjustable tilt. The microphone is held onto the tripod with a shock mount using elastic bands, and the included pop filter is a nice touch that really adds to the value of this mic. The mic is rechargeable (micro USB), and it has a battery life of about 6 hours. I would recommend against charging the mic while using it, because the charging causes interference. However, this interference can easily be eliminated using low pass and noise filters (which is what I do). The microphone has other nice features, such as built-in adjustable echo (I don't use it, but I'm sure someone will), a built-in volume slider, and a media passthrough, which is especially useful if you only have one jack on your device. In terms of appearance, it looks professional and feels premium.This microphone is an incredibly great value, and it can sound surprisingly nice with the right mix of filters. I would highly recommend this microphone to anyone looking for an inexpensive mic that sounds great and doesn't require any extra accessories.

The sound was really nice, and I liked how simple it was to set up (just plug in and go). But the sound kept cutting out, so when I'd go to edit a video I recorded I'd find that there were sections I had to re-shoot, or in some cases I had to re-shoot the entire video, because the sound would cut out for a split second and you'd miss parts of words or entire words.I think it had an especially hard time with the short A sound as in "backpack." That seemed to be the sound that would cut out most often. I don't know if that was an issue with an over-zealous noise canceling feature or what.I didn't want to return it, so I kept trying it, but I ended up spending twice as much time recording and editing videos and I'd usually have to settle for minimal cutting out on re-recordings rather than no cutting out. So I did end up returning it.UPDATE: After I returned the product and got a refund (which was easy), ZealSound customer service reached out and offered a different mic model for free, which I felt was too much because I'd gotten a full refund. But they were insistent, so I said okay. They sent it out to me really fast and this new one works great so far. No complaints, and I like the way it looks better than the first one I bought.Because of this great service I'm updating my review from 2 stars on this microphone to 4 stars, because great service like that deserves to be recognized and rewarded.
