iPhone Microphone Review - 3 Best Microphones for iPhone

[@ThinkMediaTV]

NOTE: Even though this video is titled "iPhone Microphone Review" - all of the mics talked about WILL WORK with any Smartphone. I hope that helps!

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

Will the Rhode adapter cable work with any mic such as Shure Lens Hopper? I know the Rode mic you have in the vid has great reviews but I can't get over how difficult the batter area was to open. Also after turning on the mic and plugging in does this mic override audio in the main video camera?

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

***** Thanks!

[@JoshuaAalampour]

Thanks so much! Very helpful! I think im gonna get a BOYA mic for Christmas! :)

[@kusumalakshmi8368]

Joshua Kyan how does it sounds boya...?i want to buy it for my iPhone 5s fr outdoor interviews does it work well..

[@JoshuaAalampour]

kusuma lakshmi I have an Iphone 5c and it is working Very well for me. However if the wind is too strong i suggest putting on a mic cap. Overall i would recommend this.

[@simplifygardening]

I love the boya mic. I use it for most of my videos as i am always filming outside, they work brill to stop the windnoise.

[@KatieFrys]

My iPhone 7 just arrived today, and of course, no more jack! What iPhone mic options do I have with more headphone jack?! Will lav mics still work if I use the included dongle? Want to begin making videos soon! Thanks!

[@raykaowo]

Try the A lyra

[@loyalcrystal]

I have the same question. I have a 7+ and concerned that using the adapter will ruin the quality.

[@ObserverCube]

The Shure MV88 iOS Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone is hands down the best iPhone 7 mic if you don't mind spending the cash and don't want to worry about your sound quality going down with an adapter.

[@CanuckKidsTV]

Katie Frys Oh wow, that's right..

[@RayTheVideoGuy]

Yes, the microphones will work with lightning dongle.

[@ComiKon92]

i find it hard to believe thats what the iPhone built in mic sounds like. Definitely did some audio adjustments there

[@dustinknipper1411]

COMiKON right that sounds nothing like that 😂

[@DiegoCrawford]

its because he had that giant ass lens covering the audio mic

[@WWPTV]

4:00 I have the Rode Video Mic ME and I do not like it. I had to turn off all signals as it was picking up interference. Did anyone else have this problem? 5:37 Love the Rode Shotgun mic. That is amazing. On my Canon Camcorders, I use exclusively the Canon DM-100. It is a mini hot shoe attachment. It is amazing. For interviews when not using the DM-100, I use a Shure SM47 with an XLR to mini jack cable. Keep up the good work!

[@CoinOpTV]

be curious to see how hooking up mics to the iphone will change with the newest phone/jack

[@vedranart]

Sadly no one youtube didnt actually make a real test. I have Video Mic Mini same mic as Me but without TRRS jack. Mic Mini works superb on dSLR, but with SC4 adapter to TRRS connected to any iPhone (tried 4, 4S and 6s) sound is awfully low or because of different impedance which Apple changes depending on iOS version and iPhone itself external mic switches off automatically and internal keeps recording without you knowing. Tried it also on LG G3 Android smartphone amd it kinda works better but eith a lot of hiss noise. Tried on ASUS Zenfone 2 and it doesn't work at all! Hopefully someone can find what the real problem is and how to solve it as RODE said it to me that theres no difference between Video Mic Mini and Mic Me which has TRRS jack builtin so if thats true both mics should work on smartphones at same performance, but if thats not true and RODE did something different on Mic Me about how they made the wiring inside the mic so that the impendance or whatever is correct then they should make this statement public! Tnx! :)

[@DrawItTooTV]

How good are USB mics for use on iPhones? Like the Blue Snowball or Yeti? Is that a viable option as well? Will they work with USB-lightning converters?

[@mgamesmc]

I don't think that will work on ios. It does work on android with a usb to micro usb cable.

Thanks for the video Sean. I ended up purchasing the Rode VideoMic Me and Rode SC4, thank to your review here. However, I had to order from the Amazon.ca store...as I'm in Canada and get the free shipping/same-day shipping. May I suggest that you include international/Canadian links for future videos...so we can use your links for the affiliate program? I do want to see you get compensated appropriately. I'm excited about getting these and trying them out this weekend while I'm batch filming! Cheers!

My iPhone doesn't have a 3.5mm mike (another of Apple's bad decisions) .. any advice?

Hi, thanks for this informative video! Can you recommend a good mic for my iPhone 6s please? The purpose is to broadcast music via a speaker on periscope etc. I'm currently using the apple ear pod mic by placing it close to my speaker however, it produces a hissing sound and picks up background noise... Thanks!

[@ashiamikumarisensei]

Wow Sean, Thank you for such well put together videos! Now, do any of these mics have noise cancelling ability or will I need to be in a quiet space to record with them? Thank you!

I like your videos. They are clear and to the point. A question about using external mics with the Iphone 7. I have seen conflicting reports on KZbin. The folks at Apple tell me the dongle lighting adapter is all I need to use a TRS plug mic with the Iphone 7. They say the TRS-TRRS adapter cable is not required. I'm about to order a shotgun mic for use on my Iphone 7. Do I need to order the TRS-TRRS adpter cable to go with it? Thanks!

what would you say would work best for outdoor videos..?? I eventually want to do vids of hiking and camping but i now being outside is a game changer...

[@JDPooleyPhotography]

Dallas Snider rode.

[@webvideochefs]

Use a lav mic, like the smartLav or the others mentioned. I think they'll work fine. The main thing you need to watch out for is wind noise, so you may want to use a windscreen or hide the mic under you shirt. Just watch out cuz hiding the mic can muffle the sound a little. Good luck. I created a video on my channel about best practices for shooting outdoors. ~Amani

[@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO]

Great and the phones do sound bad but you dont realize until using a mic

[@ImportRace]

[@theChrisCroft]

I've got a Rode smart lav, sounds great with my laptop but doesn't work if I plug it into my iPhone with a TRRS to iPhone converter. So - what connector do you use? Looks like you're plugging straight in so your phone must be a 6 or older. What do we do if we have an iPhone 7 8 or X?

Can someone help me with my audio woes. We have a channel where two of us often speak out doors. We are having major issues with wind. We are usually further from our phone because we go for outdoor mountain scapes, etc, however that means the sound quality is poor, and we fight with wind noise, and a lot of ambient noise. Any suggestions? Ideally I'd love two bluetooth lappels that can go through one iphone, but I don't believe iphone can handle that. Thoughts?

Great video as usual. For my recommendation, I use the Aputure A.Lav lapel mic. It has connections for both phone and DLSR cameras. I like the sound and it has very low noise (you can hear the mic on any of my videos since it is the only one I use when I'm talking at the camera) and it is affordable at around $35 USD. Thanks for another great video man.

[@Kettlebell_Love]

This doesn’t occur when editing videos in those apps when I don’t use a mic. I can’t figure out how to resolve the issue. HELP??

[@SoCalledSomeone]

One mic I would suggest, though a little more expensive and iPhone only, is the Shure MV-88. It's a multi pattern condenser mic that plugs into the Lightning port. It's a great sounding mic that I have used for the last year. It runs about $150 on Amazon.

I got the Boya on your recommendation, which has made a difference to getting rid of a lot of the ambient room noise, but I found it really accentuated the proximity effect! I have a deep enough voice as it is, so now I'm trying to find where to actually put the mic so I don,t sound like Darth Vader... :-/ It also made it so loud, bordering on distortion... I think I am going to have to up my game and get a better camera and a Rode camera mic... Any tips? Cheers dude!

Based on your helpful review, I just purchased the Boya BY-M1. I popped the battery in there without using the little release strap and now the battery is stuck in there. Any suggestions on removal? Instructions recommend not using anything metallic.

I originally purchased the Rode VideoMic Me for doing video and found that unless my phone was in airplane mode I had a high likelihood of getting some cellular feedback popping/crackling in the audio. Recently picked up the Clip Mic Digital (from Sennheiser and Apogee) that works via the lightning port and it's WORLDS better. Granted it.s $200 and has a somewhat short cord, but the sound rivals the $600 Sennheiser setup since it uses the same actual mic as their G3 unit. Plus it's worth noting that the 3.5mm headphone jack is likely a goner after the next iPhone ships in just a few weeks.

Thanks!

[@ericrandall9286]

I have had a Rode Videomic Me for about 9 months (bought July 2016), and in almost every video I shoot it creates problems. Clicking sounds, or sounds like rustling when nothing is touching the mic or wind when there is no wind. And, for some reason I can't explain, the audio sometimes gets out of sync by a few frames (no fun to fix). Before buying this mic, I recommend you do google "problems with Rode videomic me" -- I wish I had done this research. The weird part is that the problems are reported back as far as 2014. Rode, why haven't you fixed this problem??? I love the idea of having a shotgun mic I can carry in my pocket, and to Rode's benefit, when it has worked on short videos, the sound quality is so much better than with the iPhone 6s built in mic. Bottom line-- do your research! This is a fun mic, but not a professional, or even a prosumer grade mic-- until Rodes fixes the problem!

[@iraendozo]

Hey Sean! Do you think the Boya by mm1 can be an alternative for the rode video micro? The rode micro is very expensive here in the Philippines but for Boya mics, it is 2 times cheaper. The boya by mm1 is a mic that I am thinking of buying. (My other options for mics: Takstar sgc 698 and Comica cvm vm 10) Do you also think that the takstar sgc 698 would be good?

He needs to add Binaural Surround Sound 3D Audio microphones to this list fast to keep it current. In a year's time this video is going to be extremely dated as is all the technology shown. HTC and Nokia are rolling out triple microphone Binaural Recording 360° Surround Sound Technology in their flagship Smartphones and they sound absolutely sensational especially recording live events. Apple has implemented a 3 microphone setup too on iPhone X, though failed to add Binaural Recording to iOS so far. As soon as they do, most microphones will be useless except to specifically record your voice. They look set to do the same thing to Microphones that they did to Cameras and Camera film.

good video. i bought one but returned it since it won't work with any iphone or ipad in a case. although the sound was pretty good, I get much better recordings out of my tascam digital handheld. in the end, it all depends on what you want to do with it. I also found this mic to me a little hollow-sounding and not too real or full. i'm picky. been into film and audio engineering for years. great channel you have!

Surely it can't be too difficult to get them in sync. Regards !

[@aiacstudents6531]

I see this vid was made in 2016 before the new iPhones came out that only have the one plug in option on them. Does that mean you need an adaptor if you get one of those directional mics, or are there new choices? Also - I FB Live from my Mac - can you just plug the direction mic directly into that? Thx!

Any suggestions for Bluetooth microphones for a Garmin VIRB 360 for mountain biking (so outdoor wind noise is an issue)?

Hello I'm Gus from Korea. I just bought VideoMic Me after watching your video. The quality is pretty good but the volume is not that loud. How do fix this problem?

Hey man I'm using a RØDE videomic me as seen in this video but I'm actually having a lot of problems with it; the main reason I got it was because my phone's recording microphone is really messed up somehow and all that can be heard while using is loud static, and with the rode mic it's good when it works, but a lot of the times it'll be hyper sensitive to wind even if the windsock is on, and sometimes no audio can be heard whatsoever with the sock on. Also, sometimes it makes that electronic clicking sound on occasions when nothing is happening to it, and audio can also be absent whether whether windsock is on or not. waste of sixty dollars.

If you are doing a Q&A with your iPhone say on Facebook Live, what is best solution for mic'ing both the person in front of the phone and the guy behind the phone? Would love a lapel mic for both. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this video.. I am using iPhone 7+ for video recording mostly, can I use any of these mic’s for voiceovers or do you suggest any other better one from current as this video was shared 4 years back as I see.. I have seen other videos from your channel but little confused on which one I should choose for getting best voiceover on Mac or iPhone through iMovie editing.
