EMF noise when cable moves
The microphone is very noisy, I tested it, in different recorders and it has an EMF interference when the cable moves, it is easily noticeable in the recordings, it might be I got a damaged unit or it is a design shielding defect

Nice and small, but distinct buzz
I tried this out with my new Rode Wireless Go kit, and it had this very discernible buzzing noise. I tried things like moving the cable around, trying different rooms, trying it with my Zoom H5, Zoom F1, with an audio adapter/ interface....buzz on all of them. Just to check the Rode Wireless Go I plugged in my cheap YouMic lapel microphone...no buzz. I have a feeling this isnt very well shielded.

Love the size but to much hiss
The good: 1: The size of this mic is amazing which makes it super easy to hide. 2:price is awesome The bad: way to much background hiss, to the point of not usable in a professional setting. If your a beginner or a new YouTuber looking for a decent small lav it would be an acceptable mic. But for a professional this has to much hiss. I wish it didnt have so much hiss cuz I love the size and the price.

Very audible hiss in my unit
I tried this microphone in several recorders and there is a very audible hiss in the background to the point I'm forced to apply noise reduction to it. The mic looks tiny and lovely, but my unit is definitely unusable in a professional setting.

Great LITTLE mic
I bought this to accompany my Zoom H1 recorder. I spent almost as much on the mic as the recorder and am happy I did. I think it brings up the quality of the audio exponentially. The mic is small and easy to hide.

Great for the money
Great affordable lapel mic. I use it for ceremonies on the groom. Only used it once, but so far so good.

Great sound, easy to conceal
Get great audio for a good price with these mics and they are extremely easy to conceal. I use them with the Rycote undercover and they are a perfect combo.

Good lav at a great price
Used for field interviews with Tascam Dr-07mkII recorder. The .wav files are quite good across the full voice range.
