Wireless Lavalier Microphone-U05

This is probably one of the most budget friendly options for a wireless mic transmitter/receiver setup you will find anywhere. That being said, it's still an extremely good buy. Setup and use is extremely easy, turn it on, plug it in and you're done. For those of you who aren't sure of how to use this with your computer/phone/tablet - this does not pair wirelessly, nor does it plug it with the USB port for audio transfer. You need to plug this into a 1/4" TRS or 1/8" mic jack to use this. If your chosen device does not have that jack, you can buy an adapter or search for a "usb sound card." Now that that's out of the way. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even with the included microphone (I'm assuming it is better with a higher quality microphone but sadly, i did not have one to test it with). After recording the video review, I did notice that the hiss pretty much disappeared when I moved the receiver away from my tripod. I think the aluminum tripod acted like a bit of an antenna for interference. The sound is actually more than adequate, and especially considering the price you're paying. Overall, I'd highly recommend this for someone who is trying to record videos/audio for pretty much anything except if you're recording an album in a studio. Good job Hotec, and amazing value for the price!

I read the reviews and was still skeptical given the price, but bit the bullet and have been very pleased. I'm using the headset mic live onstage, for a special part of our band's performance where I sit in front of the crowd for a few songs. I'm not able to get it as loud as a regular live mic and still avoid feedback, but frankly I didn't think it would work at hardly any volume without substantial feedback, and yet it does. The sound is amazingly good when you factor in the price, the charging and operations are easy and straightforward. and it's now worked solidly for three gigs and I figure that's now enough to have shaken down any issues. Very pleased thus far.

Bought this to record narration to a live PowerPoint presentation with an audience that needed to then be turned into a video for those who couldn't attend. Did not need (and was not expecting) top professional quality. This got the job done very well! My review is limited to how I used it. PROS: --You can go pretty far from the receiver and it picks it up just fine. Great for large room. --The mic connector screws onto the transmitter mount so that it doesn't pop out of the input hole. --The LEDs change color and tell you the status of the battery and connection. --Very easy to set up, didn't have to fiddle with any settings out of the box at all. Settings are very limited anyway. --Comes with great connectors and even a double charging cord for simultaneously charging the transmitter and receiver pack via a Y connector USB cable. --Charges fully in about 2 hours. CONS: --Is there some occasional scratchy noise from the mic as others reviewed? Yes, if you move a lot or touch the mic or cord a lot of course there will be some brushing sounds/static picked up on the recording. Was this a deal breaker for me? No. --Could the batteries last longer? Yes of course. You can overcome that easily by attaching a small cell phone battery charging pack to either or both the the transmitter and receiver. Probably get a whole day out of it then. Think creatively. It will operates and recharge simultaneously. I went about 6 hours without any interruption by slipping a charger into my pocket and attaching it to the transmitter pack charge port. --The clip could be better; it's not spring activated so you have to shimmy the plastic hook onto your pocket or waist band. Eventually it will break off I bet with rough or sustained usage. But once it's on, it stays put unless you are doing jumping jacks. VERDICT: For the value, purpose stated, and infrequency that I need to use it, it's hard to beat the price for this little unit that also comes with a bunch of great adapters and cables. Overall the product is well engineered and built for what it is intended and priced. Note: Did not try the headset feature. Also works well recording to your Android cell phone or tablet recording app if you have the 3.5mm input (some devices eliminated the jacks as "old school" tech in favor of bluetooth). Not tested with Lightning or Apple.

I bought this mic to record online lectures and it served its purpose well. Both the receiver and the mic charge very fast and the battery lasts for a couple of hours. Battery indicators tell you when the battery is low. The microphone pack has a clip, so you can clip it, say, to your waistband. Or you can just put it in your pocket. I did not use it with the headset but with the little lapel microphone clip, which is very subtle and stayed on my collar really well. You can adjust the volume on the microphone pack. Now, this is important: if you use the adapter to plug the receiver into your laptop or phone, you have to attach a set of headphones to the headphone port. If you only attach the microphone to the mic port and do nothing else, it will not record. I found this out by looking around on Youtube. Apparently, your device expects there to be both a mic and headphones, so it won't work unless you plug in both!!! Once I plugged in both mic and a set of headphones, my phone automatically recorded from the external mic. However, for some reason, I was unable to get it to work on my Macbook. Not sure what the problem was there. My phone is an Android. The sound quality is good enough for my purposes. I noticed that if I turned the volume on the mic all the way up, I got some distortion in the recording when I was speaking loudly. I used the volume level 12, which gave me a good audio. The resulting video has a decently loud and clear audio. Background noise (such as a plane flying by or a dog barking) is audible, though, so make sure you record in a quiet environment. Finally, let me just say that I enjoy the design of the microphone. It's small and sleek. I don't know if you care about such things, but I always like when my electronics look nice.

Was very surprize that the product arrived so quicky, will use again! It works perfectly

Buen sonido, la señal se mantiene a más de 30 más sin ninguna distorsión, duración de hasta 5hrs de la bateria. Un producto muy bueno por el precio pagado. Lo recomiendo mucho para clases o conferencias

Todo bien con este producto, es recargable súper alcance más de 30 metros y tiene nitidez y se adapta muy bien a cualquier micrófono!! Relación precio calidad inmejorable

Just what I needed to blog with as the video camera is not near where I am talking from.

Sin problema amplifica la voz con buen tono, muy portátil y practico, sin embargo, requiere pegarse a la boca para funcionar
