I thought this product came with cord (adapter) that is pictured in the description. It should definitely say adapter IS NOT INCLUDED. I'm highly disappointed now that I have to purchase two adapters for each mic I already purchased.

Compared to other mics I used this was below expectations

Does not do a good job of recording full depth of voice. Better mics around.

Does not work with any Zoom H1 or H5 recorder.

This works with smartphones only. When connected to DSLRs or Zoom Recorders, it is useless.
