PALOVUE Portable MFi Certified Microphone with Lightning Connector for iPhone iPad, Professional Digital Stereo Cardioid Condenser Mic with Charging Port and 3.5mm Headphones Jack for Recording

This mic was Perfect for my application very easy to use and worked great.

Has own app but did not enhance whistling recording like I hoped.

It arrived in a timely manner and met my needs and expectations.

1. Stereo recording doesn't work correctly. With the mode set to music recording, all sounds are panned center regardless of where the sound source is relative to the mic. 2. When I set the level as low as possible, and tried to record percussion, the sound was distorted and had a strange phase/flanger resonance. 3. Audio recordings in the Music Library won't play back inside the Palovue app while the iMic is connected. I tried listening through the iMic's headphone port, as well as thru headphones connect to a lightning-to-headphone adapter connected to the lightning thru on the iMic. In either case, pressing play had no effect. 4. The male lightning connector won't physically reach the port on my iPhone if my case is on, so I have to remove the end of my case to use it. 5. It's not clear from the manual or product images, but the capsule head on the iMic can be twisted and rotated 90 degrees. 6. It's also not clear which surface of the microphone should face the source (end-address? side-address?). Or whether omni, cardioid, or stereo modes require any different orientation. It is possible that Palovue's support may offer some remedies or suggestinos; if not, I'm planning to return it.

I am an actress and needed an external mic for submissions. A mic that I can control the gain for when I’m singing. The iPhone gets a little blown out. I am an iPhone 14 Pro user and I can say with certainty that it has better sound quality on its own than this mic. I followed all the instructions and even watched a couple of YouTube videos to make sure I had all my settings correct for optimal sound. It was so bad. I compared the mic sound to the phone sound and the phone sound was 10x better than the mic sound. Returning. Would not recommend. Giving 2 stars because setup and instructions were easy to follow. But the mic itself gets 1 star.

It sounds a little “crisp” to my ear in all modes but if you have editing software that can be changed. Stereo separation was good and sensitivity was nice. I’m new to the Apple accessory world but I was impressed at the ease of use of the software and it worked as advertised right out of the box. The monitor feature is nice but requires a wired connection. When the mic is active, Bluetooth output is disabled.

Works great, but breaks way too easily. On my second one, doesn't even appear to be broken in any way, just doesn't work anymore after my stand fell over.

Disappointing. And simply doesnt work well. I don’t recommend it. Wish i could return it

Not great sound quality. My basic wired apple earbuds mic sounds better.
