This microphone is a replica, i.e. a fake of the popular model boya by-m1. This is evidenced by the half-discharged battery, the differences in the packaging of the original from what I received, the presence of stripes on the microphone plug, which are not present in the original model or even in the photo, and, of course, a very noisy sound.
For the money, it's the best thing. We've been using it for a year now and it's working great, you don't need to be on top of it, and it does its job well even from a distance.
Great sound quality and very clear voice. Easy to use with a very long cable that will cover every need. I use it for videos and the result is professional. It has now become an essential accessory for my phone for the videos I make on my channel. Excellent build quality and very good performance. I recommend it for its price. Check out the video I have prepared on my channel. BOYA - M1 & BOYA - MM1/Smartphone/Wind/Test/Outdoor conditions with wind (no editing) Video link: https://youtu.be/9ZgIXrppTGw
Use on a computer. It does what it promises! It works even without a battery, as long as a splitter (Headphones - Microphone) is used, where only the microphone plug will be used.
If I could give more stars, I would!! I have owned this particular microphone for almost a year now. I am a video creator and a microphone was essential for upgrading my equipment. I have nothing but great things to say about this mic, the sound quality is exceptional, the build quality is excellent, it is simply the perfect product for its price, I highly recommend it!!
Very good product, the only negative thing is that sometimes, even though the cable is wrapped, it produces some interference that luckily goes away with a little music, but it's better for those who buy it to unwrap the cable before using it
Unbelievable microphone guys... Even in windy conditions, it only recorded my voice, very clearly. For its price, I am honestly amazed. Except for the fact that the first one I received was defective, buy it, just buy it... for all uses
Well, the microphone is not worth its money at all. It constantly makes a noise when I make videos and it becomes very annoying. Also, the switch it has sometimes works and the build quality is not good either. Finally, I have to mention that it requires a battery, so I recommend another microphone from the same company and at the same price, the Boya BY-MM1, which is battery-free and has perfect sound.
I will agree with many that it gives better sound (for video recording) than the microphone of the mobile or the microphone of the headphones.
Starting by saying that I have the Samsung S7, which means that the 3.5 mm jack does NOT recognize it as a microphone.
With 5 euros from a Chinese store, I found an adapter that has two outputs, one for sound and one for a microphone.
It worked perfectly!!!
Always considering its (plastic) characteristics, I consider it a good choice. Clear sound (I don't have intensity in my voice but I sound clear), practical clip to support it wherever it is convenient, very good cable.
I have to say that I had a little difficulty placing the battery. I used the tip of a screwdriver, pressing the spring to insert the battery.
Yes, it takes a small battery which is included in the package.
I will provide more details if an issue arises.
Economical and reliable. Definitely value for money as with so little money, I didn't imagine it would have such a difference from a shotgun. I recommend it.
Good product, it records clear sound. It works without adjusting anything on Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro, Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, on an HP laptop with a dual jack (headphones & microphone together) you need to lower the gain a bit, as well as on a PC but there, because I don't have a dual jack (I have separate ports for headphones & microphone - case: BeQuiet Pure Base 500) an adapter is needed. I recommend this one: https://www.skroutz.gr/s/33527665/Joyroom-3-5mm-2x-male-to-3-5mm-female-JR-A05.html If your case has IO with 1 jack for mic/headphones (see NZXT cases) then it will work without it.
For its price, I did not expect it to have such good quality. I use it exclusively for recording voice in video presentations on YouTube and I can say that I am very satisfied with the sound. I recommend it for someone who wants a good external microphone without wanting to spend a fortune.
The microphone has amazing performance. I used it on a smartphone. Besides being very easy to apply and use, the most important thing is that it provides clear, crystal-clear sound and isolates the surrounding noises. I couldn't have bought anything better. I use it for the videos I make and the sound is excellent. Strong and clear. The length with the 6 meters seems quite long for my needs, so I leave the cable wrapped up, but for someone who wants to use it outdoors, for example, to move away from their phone or camera, it is very convenient. I highly recommend it. It won't put you through the process of isolating the sound yourself, searching for sound improvement programs (after recording). Finally, it's a great value for money purchase, as for around 12 euros if I remember correctly, you get a high-performance microphone that can compete with much more expensive ones.
It's worth buying. For its price, the quality it has is excellent. Even in an outdoor space with a little wind, there won't be a problem, thanks to the included pop filter in the package. The only thing you need to be careful about is that when you have it in a closed space, it should have decent sound insulation.
I wasted 17 euros, I really spent over 5 hours on this microphone doing all the tests I could, but nothing. Many interferences just because I touched the cable. As a result, the headphones of my phone do a much better job
I use it purely amateurishly for YouTube! For its price (I bought it for about 18 euros), it is a very good upgrade that you can make to your sound! It includes a battery in the packaging, and it has a power switch from the battery and not from the source so that you can use it on a camera or wherever the headphone output does not provide power! Also, very long cable.

The difference in quality is chaotic if you consider the cost!
While the build quality is very good, I can say that the recording result is mediocre. Nevertheless, it is a good choice for its price, with a very long cable and ease of use
I bought it to use on YouTube and its performance is perfect except for the quality. It was muffled and sounded like I was shouting. It's worth it for its price
I bought it for use on YouTube. I was impressed with its performance! Very clear, powerful sound without noise. It can be connected to a laptop as well as a mobile phone (redmi note 8) and it has a very long cable for longer shots. I think it's one of the best value for money products!
Very good product, very good sound.
It upgrades the sound from videos to a professional level.
It has a long 6-meter cable so you can record yourself from a distance while speaking
