I purchased this to do in person interviews using my Sony HD video camera to improve the sound quality. It works great. The quility was improved over the built in mic. The wires were long enough to sit at a comfortable distance. Great price too.

Better Than Expected.

Did a ton of video interviews at Expo West and IHRSA last month. I used a hand-held mic. Not really happy with the result so I ordered the Polson lavaliers. Really happy with the audio quality. Wires are plenty long enough. Great solution until I spring for a wireless package.

Excellent , Clear Sound

Very good microphones for the price. Light, compact, convenient, no interference like with radio mikes, long cord. Best to use with DSLR cameras. Of course, fragile... Just need to be careful as with any other electronics... Keep an extra battery on hand.

Great buy

I use the product for informational videos. I like how discrete it is while giving me the clear sound quality I was looking for at a decent price. So far I don't have any complaints.

I used this double mic for an interview with two people and it seems to have worked well. I'm satisfied with the sound quality (could be a little cleaner, but not bad) and it was very easy to use.

Perfect!

I just needed a simple mic for interviews and this was ideal. I like that each mic goes to a different channel (easy for editing) and can use just one mic if I want. The cable is sturdy and I like that the on/off switch shows red when its on (so I can easily tell). Cable length is just right and sound is perfect.

Easy and it works

So far perfect for two interviewies at the same time. Plugs right in and picks up really good. Would buy another if needed.

Sound is good, battery cover fell off.

The sound is good, but when I needed it the most, the cover on the battery fell off, which I didn't see til later, so I disconnected and used the camera mic.

Super noisy when you first plug them in. You have to bang on the battery compartment to get it to stop. Once that stops though they are great for the price.....Maybe I have a bad set but I see other people have mentioned something similar as well.

Bravo - Let the crisp and clear recording begin !

I used them for a paid video shoot and was very happy with the results. Crisp sound with no static. Only complaint is that the foam covers fall off easily and are hard to find when they do.
