Sounds totally acceptable for interviews. Cable is long but that's actually is a bonus for working on budget.

Not expensive with good quality sound. Love it. Just feel that the cable could have been shorter. 6meters is a bit long...

Pros: Good sound quality, minimal noise Cons: Microphone has to be wedged into clip, which takes some force... feels like it could easily break.

Great product!

The cord is quite longlonger than I need, but it coils up easily and hides away behind the talent. Nice frequency response. I haven't even bothered with EQ. Great value for money.

Much tinier than I expected, and the foam cover was hard for my elderly mother to put on over the microphone, but otherwise they are fine.

A great mic for the price. I needed a Lav for an interview and wasnt able to get my hands on a wireless lav at the time due to the price. This mic got me through and the sound quality is respectable. The only reason why I cant give it 5 stars is because I havnt tested it out enough.

Great inexpensive wired mic

The only complaints I have is that its windscreen doesn't stay on very well. I use a small piece of flagged gaffing tape to hold it in place.

I'll use this to narrate video clips of animals at our shelter. The only problem with this mic was that the cord is 20 feet. Way more than I need but I just tie it up.
