Good performance for the money
Saramonic Blink 500 B2 2-Person Digital Camera-Mount Wireless Omni Lavalier Microphone System (2.4 GHz)
Reviewed by David on B&H Photo Video
This system is relatively inexpensive, but punches above its weight in performance. Setup is not hard, although it would be nice if it had a display like the Rode mics. Then again, that would probably make it more pricey! If you do casual recording, this is a great setup.
Darn good system!

My work bought this for me to do some basic Work From Home videos. I was expecting to be disappointed, but it works great! Simple operation and intuitive. It has three levels of gain. Pretty cool for the price! If you need to capture good sound (not stunning, but really good) coming in under $200 with a lav mic included, this is the system to do it.
Got this for a client to use on their own

Got this for a client to use on their own and they were able to figure it out pretty easily. The quality isn't the greatest, but this is perfect for someone looking for a plug and play and easy to use microphone for someone without any tech knowledge. With some sweetening, you can get it to sound pretty decent.
Great sound and versatility

This is an awesome product. I use it for recording videos as well as broadcasting at outdoor events. All you need additionally for that is an adaptor and sound system. As a yoga teacher I need to move around a lot. Hands free and great sound!
Perfect wireless connections

This wireless Omni lav system is a beast. Perfect for any kinda videos. I use this for all my videos and it sounds fantastic and not as expensive as the others out there. Definitely glad I purchased this and your might be as well.

Only used it once so far, but it delivered exactly what I needed: a clean sound to my iPhone. Easy to pair and setup. Not sure about battery life since I only used it for about 4 hours. But that is enough for my needs. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use wireless system for their phones.
Lost connection during wedding

Folks... don't buy it. Bought one set and returned it because it wouldn't connect, exchanged for another... the new one failed on me just after the wedding ceremony started!!!! Luckily I have the bride and groom reading their vows in a different private setting to voice over...what a let down.. the quality of this system is not vetted from the factory...

I ordered this to livestream yoga classes, I had originally purchased the receiver with the lightning for iPhone so I was happy to be able to use this with my original saramonic blink transmitters and lav mic. It worked great after pairing it and the sounds is incredible when going live on my computer.
Limited in application

Reviewed by Scott on B&H Photo Video
While these mics were easy to use, they were not useful in our application. They pick up every extraneous sound in the room (including creaking floors), and have insufficient gain to work with our Switcher Studio. I'm puzzled why Switcher recommends these mics, as they require the speaker to yell in order to be heard. I will be returning them, as they're utterly useless for my studio.
Love these!

These are literally plug and play. And with the adapters, I can use on my mirrorless camera, my cell phones and even my laptop. I've purchased a lot of gear over the years that I've never used but this was not one of them.
Amazing kit

It's a very useful kit for interviews with two people. It would be the perfect kit if both microphones gave you separate audio signals but this model doesn't do that. For something quick it's the perfect choice.
Pretty Solid wireless mics

Reviewed by Dustin on B&H Photo Video
These are cheap and work really well. I wish they would split channels, one mic L channel, the other R channel, but they combine both into a stereo track. They do pick up a lot of breathing noise in between voice talking, which adds to some editing on the back end but overall they are pretty solid!
Good but with some eco sound

Reviewed by Sieg on B&H Photo Video
I love B&H Photo. They recommended this product. When I got it. I noticed it didn't work with my phone case on. To Thick. After a call to Apple and B&H, I sent an email to Saramonic. Their solution? To use a nail file and file down my phone case. Horrible Saramonic Service! So Buyer Beware, this device does not work well if you want to use a phone case!

I picked this up to help make educational videos (I work at a school). After plugged the receiver into my iPhone, it synced right away with both transmitters. The convenience was awesome. The sound was also really good and clear. It was a win-win. So glad I made this purchase!

My first attempt at set up happened when I was under the gun to make this product work. A quick glance at the instructions and pressing a few buttons had this wireless mic up and running and the sound quality is great! Extremely happy with the purchase:)

Worked right out of the box! The box itself is like Apple quality. The two units are well made and very compact. One surprise is that the blue light on the transmitter shows the volume setting. The spring in the clips is almost too strong, so it's going to last. So far very happy with the purchase.

Only used it twice, but so far they perform better than expected. I'm not into high tech audio yet, so this works perfect for fast and easy audio to add to the videos. The distance is good and even from other rooms I can pick up their voices.

Setup was easy and effortless - the transmitters connected to the receiver with no issues. The audio quality is great with the Lav mics, and more than useable straight off the transmitters. I think this is the best value for money right now in wireless mics.
