I need to remove my iPhone case to use this microphone. Nowhere in the descriptions does this say this. I had to spend extra money to buy a lightning plug from Apple in order to use this. Very unhappy.

An Excellent Microphone!

I purchased it to live stream my Church Service, a Catholic Mass. The building has a lot of echoes, with this mic I was able to focus where the sand was that made it a lot more intelligible. My congregation has been every happy with the new sound of this mic.

This mic is warmer with music than my RODE stereo video mic, which has larger diaphragms. Used both on several musical events and when blinded picked the Shure every time.

The audio is much better than from my iOS 8s built-in mic but I have yet to edit the video to really appreciate the difference. I wish there was a way to monitor the audio while recording.

The first time I used this was to record my band's rehearsal. It was great. I'd definitely use it for that again and will likely use it to record some performances as well.
