The lavalier mic is a good way to do interviews with people and make the sound quality much better. I look forward to more stories from the older members of my family.

The OLM-10 works exactly as it said it would. It's great for any type of lav / audio recording needs into your computer. Only downside is that the levels are a bit low and might need to be cranked up in post. I did notice it didn't work in my mixer, but for the price can't beat it!
cheap and a great product!

I use this mic for making videos. It's a great interview mic. The mic is pretty cheap in price which is always a plus. The length of the core to the mic is pretty lengthy so it's not to short and you don't have to worry about filming to close.
performs well

The buying process was easy and efficient - unit arrived earlier then scheduled. Actually used this mic as a pick-up for an acoustic guitar and it works perfectly into a 10 watt amp. Very impressed with its quality. Would buy item again and recommend B&H without reservations.

If you are on a tight budget and require decent quality sound then look no further than this mic. Just make sure you have fresh LR44 batteries and you'll be good. I've paired this with a Tascam DR-40 and DR-05 field recorder with great results
Inexpensive enough to buy by the dozen

Lapel mics take a beating. The secret is to buy enough quality at the right price that they are replaceable. Small mike head is great for hiding. Nice long 20' cable. This mike is great for general project use. Secret: Put the mike cord under the clip to take strain off connection to mike.
Would recommend 10/10

I give this microphone a 10 out of 10 because the cable is long and it sounds great for the price not too expensive what can you say for something that is only $22 works great and sounds good would recommend it to anyone looking for a lavalier microphone

I purchased this in hopes of being able to record nice interview audio, however there is so much static that I can't even hear the subject talking. I have yet to be able to record a good interview with this. If it worked it would be perfect because of how subtle it is, but currently it is
Nice Mic at a Fair Price

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this mic at a bargain price. I tested this out in an in-car interview. It picks up speech very well, and to my surprise, background noise (music) sounded very natural.

So far, I've only used this lav mic indoors and hooked up directly to a Zoom H2, but it works very good for me so far. I'm impressed with the clarity of the sound, especially for something so inexpensive. I'd definitely recommend this mic to anybody looking for a lav.

Wouldn't work until I "jiggled" it just right which was disappointing. Sound is fine. Nice long cord but no other frills.

For $ its a perfect choice! If you have an H4n... And I have an H4n. If I didn't then I wouldn't buy this because of wiring would be annoying and recording on the camera... The sound is OKAY, but good for the price. The wire is too long for my taste while using an H4n, but long would be good for a person without an H4n. We should have an option to have long or short wire and make the standard size of the wire shorter and include an extension. Check my video that shows the product off - @ ... More
Terrible Product - Noisy and Batteries Fall Out

We run a sizable YouTube Channel (Ultimate Survival Tips) and needed these for Facebook LIVE Broadcasts from SHOT Show. Bought 2 and both mics were excessively noisy... AND the battery doors don't stay on. Terrible mics. Avoid at all costs.

This isn't the best mic, however it has great sound for the price. I didn't expect much from it, I bought it to have as an inexpensive back up. But I would be perfectly content using it if I needed my backup. Eventually I would like to invest in a wireless mic for the backup though.

the sound quality is not very good. But if you are not doing serious recording, it is hard to beat the price. The cord can be a plus or minus depending on what you do.

This just doesn't work at all. The sound is poor at best and if you move around while wearing it the sound quality is very poor.
