For devices like these I always wait a while before reviewing them to really get a feel for them. This review is written a little over one month after having used the mic every week day for work. The mic picks up my voice whether I have it clipped close to my collar or further down my chest. It also comes with its own volume up/down buttons. These buttons are controlled by the mic itself and they don't just simply send a signal to your sound card to turn up your mic volume. For example, you can set your mic volume on your sound card to 100% and still turn the mic up; I find this useful if the mic is too quiet. The lapel clip is comfortable to wear and has a slot for extra clothing to hold your collar in place if you need it. Once you clip it on, it's not moving (and I've been too lazy to take it off sometimes and have even gone running with it on my lunch break.) The mic is angled in such a way to pick up your voice well: it's angled slightly outward. Such a small detail but how many times have we used mics that are angled straight upwards, resulting in bad sound quality? Your voice is transmitted clearly and you will find that you're probably the clearest person on Zoom/Teams meetings! For example, others on the call get asked to repeat themselves quite often and I haven't been asked to repeat myself once. I will also add here that I've been using this mic for a month now in case you missed the first line of my review :). I tend to pace a lot while on meetings and this mic has never broken my signal. In fact I've taken trips all the way around my apartment while talking on it and not once have people said I've cut out (they don't even know I'm having a walkabout!) The wind screen is built well and prevents my p's from popping. It also comes with a spare wind screen should you ever need it. So, unlike competitor products where the wind screen falls off easily, this one is on securely and you can be rest assured it's not coming off unless you mean to take it off. The transmitter clips to my belt securely; the antenna is flexible so even if you're wearing it while sitting down, the antenna will kind of just move out of the way so there's nothing sticking out preventing you from sitting comfortably. If you press and hold the large button on the bottom to start/stop transmitting, the good thing is it doesn't actually mute you from the sound card. Instead, the mic itself turns on and off. So if the mic is not on you can be sure it's not silently listening. I tested this using Teams. When I switched the mic off, the Mute button on Teams still said Unmuted but the mic was off. This is exactly what I like. The battery life is about six hours and takes roughly one hour to charge to get the full six hours out of it. I've been on this mic during a thunderstorm and have been told they can hear the bass of the thunder coming through my mic. I hope that gives you an idea of how good the sound quality is. One of its only downsides is that there's no audio indication of when the mic turns on and off. So if you want to mute yourself, press and hold the large button on the bottom of the transmitter for about two seconds and hope for the best. To start transmitting again, press and hold the button for about half a second. You'll get used to the timings but it does take some guess work at first. The second downside is that while you can talk with the mic plugged in and charging, it does generate interference, and the interference is bad enough to make it impossible to hear your voice. So you can't charge it and be transmitting at the same time or you'll get poor sound quality. I just plug it in after a really long meeting so it doesn't die while we're on those ever so important business meetings!

I live in an older house and have a friend in an older apartment. I bought this for speech recordings for university because I wasn’t getting the best audio through my built in microphones. Setting it up: you open the box and there are a lot of small pieces. I didn’t look for directions which I normally do because it seemed straight forward and I realize not everyone reads them. It was really easy to setup and it all makes sense. No real guessing involved. So I tested the sound, as much as I hate my voice it picks it up clearly and even when I turn my head you can tell my head is turned but it still picks up the audio clearly. I had no issues with sound no matter where I was at and different programs let me adjust what I wanted picked up such as background noise and if I wanted different effects. The device worked with all the programs I opened on my MacBook Pro. Signal: I had no issues in these old buildings or outside. The signal was strong the entire time even with doors closed. I thought “damn you could probably use this for recording conversations a distance away and no one would know or see this little mic on me or the receiver.” The signal didn’t waver and the audio remained as if I was standing right next to my computer. Looks: the string is easy to tuck in and the receiver clips anywhere and comes with a lanyard. So in a dress I had no problems. My friend had no problems in pants and a t-shirt. It’s not super bulky or noticeable. I clipped the receiver to the back up my dress under heavy fabric and it still had a strong signal and didn’t bulk out of my dress noticeably. It just works. It looks clean. Overall it is great for the $70 price tag. I honestly would pay more for this and wouldn’t mind because it works that good. I don’t know how long it will remain this good or the lifespan but I will update with regular use when it breaks. If you’re in between other products this would be a good contender.

I bought it to use with Zoom. I’ll give the sound quality a B+ and the range a C. I noticed subtle sound degradation while recording and walking back and forth in the class room. If you record a lecture in Zoom, the recorded sound will not play unless the receiver is unplugged from the recording computer USB port.

I got a large OLED television for gaming and didn't want to use a wireless headset or a separate microphone up in my face. This wireless microphone was literally the perfect solution; no/low lag, easy to use, charge lasts a good long while, easy on/off for muting myself when away, good audio pickup. I prefer using the wired lav clipped on a shirt with the transmitter on my lap or next to me; the reason being is the battery in the transmitter is pretty heavy and is awkward when clipped on a shirt vs just using the wired lav. The battery life is definitely adequate, I've used it for several hours on one charge. That said, I recommend charging it when not in use; when I didn't charge it one night it ended up dying in the middle of a session. My friends on Discord can be lite audiophiles and are quick to point out stark changes in audio quality. I use an AT2020 condenser microphone when at my computer desk, and they've never pointed out the change in quality when I change over to the wireless microphone. Bear in mind, I'm not saying the audio quality is on-par with a condenser microphone, rather, the quality is not starkly different to listeners. For gaming, considering it uses a 2.4Ghz transmitter/receiver, as opposed to typical Bluetooth which I've found to be pretty laggy, this microphone is ideal. The audio pickup is good. I haven't done extensive testing, but from what I've gathered in my experience of ~4 months is that it can be ~6 inches from my mouth, or as far as a few feet away and it picks up well. Overall, I'm really impressed with this microphone, and I highly recommend purchasing if you find that wearing typical gaming headsets is becoming a bother.

I am pleasantly surprised by the ease at which this connected to my PC. I had to adapt to teaching online via zoom and needed a solution for maintaining good sound quality to persons in my class. This Alvoxcon UM-310 aced it! It took less than a minute setup and worked as soon as it was connected.. There was no lag, and no static, just clarity. I didn't even have to try projecting my voice and my students didn't have to strain their ears to hear. I noted their responses were right on cue.. Must I say this little thing went on for two back to back sessions totally 21/2 hours and still kicking. I am happy this little solution worked! Well worth the price. Thanks for an awesome products guys!!

Bought this and it did not work also couldn’t return it. 100% do not recommend this microphone.

The transmitter and receiver work well for an inexpensive unit, and I like how small the transmitter is. I'd put it in a pocket except that the button is easy to press, fairly large, and doesn't require you to hold for any length of time - so it'd be very easy to turn off accidentally. It's cool that it's rechargeable, but that's a tossup; if you forget to charge it you can't just swap in a disposable battery. The mic that plugs right into the unit isn't terrible, but I will not wear the entire transmitter on my chest, so I'll try to find a clip and extension cable for it - because the other included lapel mic (with integrated cable & clip) IS terrible. The cable is cheap and causes handling noise, and the clip is too weak to stay clipped to clothing. It did work great with my Purple Panda lav mic. So if you're willing to buy a better lav mic to plug into the transmitter (several usable ones are available <$20) this is nice and compact and sounds decent for non-critical work in non-challenging environments. If you don't want to spend that extra $$ and don't mind a larger transmitter, I'd go with the FiFine unit, which has a better lav mic, includes a headset mic, and works off AA batteries.

Are you teaching BOTH online students and in-class students at the same time? Then, this is your best option I've found on Amazon for teachers that must move around the room while teaching to online students and students in desks in your classroom. And, it works for our low salaries! So, if your online students are telling you they can't hear you when you walk to the back of the classroom to help online students, then this is the device you need. There are three main components to this package. 1. Mic (aka "lavalier" or "lapel" microphone) that clips on your shirt near your mouth to pick up your voice. 2. Transmitter (the small white box with antenna) that sends your voice to the black box. You clip the white box on your belt or put it in your pocket. This is the wireless system you want that allows you to move around the classroom. 3. Receiver (the small black box with USB) that you plug into your computer so that online students can hear you even when you are away from the computer microphone walking around while you lecture. Setting up: Press the black button on the white box transmitter. Plug the lapel mic into the white box. Put it on your shirt. Then, plug in the black box transmitter into your computer using the USB port (I was able to do this on a Mac and PC.) Note: I didn't have to charge it, I just popped the USB in and started. Though I would imagine you might have to charge it first if it came to you unable to turn on. Troubleshooting: I sometimes play video clips for my students in class in my history class, so I needed my computer to use its own speakers, but use this new system as its mic. This means if you set up a classroom like mine, you will have to go into your computer's sound settings and change the output. In other words, the plug-and-play on this product is designed to take over your sound settings, both input and output, once you plug it in. But, for my classroom set up, I wanted to maintain my computer sounds that project out to everyone, while replacing the input sounds with my new mic. So, just quickly play with your sound settings so that input sound is this new mic and output sound remains the computer. That way the video clips still play for everyone. I hope this review helps teachers out there pick up devices to help them with our crazy new life in a hybrid world!

Excelente producto. Un detalle que quieren tomar en cuenta. Cuando conectan el micro a su 'base', tienen que tener cuidado; en mi caso, se rompió la soldadura a dentro y ya no sirvió el micro después de su primer uso. Lo bueno es que se puede reparar fácilmente con soldar el componente que se desprendió (en una tienda de reparación de teléfono). Es un problema menor, pero sí me asusté ya que el producto es un poco caro. Fuera de eso, el micro funciona muy bien. Lo uso para zoom todos los días. Es sencillo, es plug and play y ya. Se escucha muy bien y el rango es muy bueno. Una muy buena opción para docentes.

Delivered reasonably quickly, works just as stated.

I really like this - and I have tried several alternatives, most of which cannot be used with a PC. This one plugs straight into the USB port on a PC/Macbook, and you can monitor the sound from the USB receiver with headphones – or use the headphone output on the receiver to plug into a powered speaker (though this will also need you to plug the receiver into a power bank - it only needs a tiny one. You can also feed it straight into a smart phone with a 3.5mm headphone socket, or for a lightning iphone choose the black and silver version which comes with the right adaptor if you don't already have it. The USB receiver lights up when the microphone transmitter microphone is turned on – and the transmitter itself has a highly visible big blue led on the on-button (rival mikes tend to use tiny LED dots, much harder to check whether on or off). The transmitter is both good looking and compact, easy to clip on with the short mic attached, or if you prefer you can use it with the lavalier mike. And sound is very crisp and in my experience interference free. All in all, a 5 star product. It is handsome, and works handsomely.

I have bought Alvoxcon (wireless lavs) in past which was why I thought it natural to grab this one too. I have different needs for filming or recording and it is nice to have this as an option. Features - It uses a USB to connect to a computer and has a USB C adapter for plugging into a phone! Personally, I think this is going to be great for any vlogger. I just realized that my other wireless lav mics use the "receiver" which you mount on your camera and this units "transmitter" is the same body. I only say that because if you have bought another one prior you will know the size and feel based on that comparison. Uses I have for it right away, interview-style vid using my phone as camera and this microphone input. I like that it has the belt clip (and the corded lapel mic clip on OR you can use it casually with the transmitter clipped on your collar (which is heavy) but if you don't mind the look and just don't want a cord in the way it can be awesome. If I was doing a construction tutorial that would be a godsend as no cords at all dropping in the way of a blade. I tried the input on my computer as well and again solid, no surprise there. Do remember to change your mic input or it won't (or at least mine didn't). I can also see using it as a very small interview mic (handheld) since it has the small microphone (as well as the corded lapel mic). Love that it can go right into your phone though as that is huge convenient. The other thing I want to mention is the overall sizes are tiny and light. The transmitter is an ok weight but the receiver is too light to even notice. It is about the size of a car fob but about half as thin and light as air. I am one of those people who don't want to strain the ports on my phone (or any eletronics) so I really love that I wouldn't even think of it harming. The connector fits with my case on (which isn't a bulky one though) if a charge cable can get into your phone with case on this will. The receiver's antenna can rotate to get better directional pick up but I tested from different rooms with walls in the way and no interference. I don't yet know the distance we can get out of it but I know these guys (for my last set of wireless) WAY under claim what they'll do (I mean they say a distance but thee mics work way further than the claim - very rare!) Oh and a very clear indicator on the receiver as to if there was a signal. I was test filming something and realized that I forgot to turn the transmitter on right away (even though I wasn't looking at the transmitter) because I was looking at the camera and the receiver was not fully lit. I haven't tried to plug a set of headphones into the receiver but it looks like that is an option so if someone wants to monitor audio while holding the phone as a camera you have that ability (I believe again not tested). Oh, and the transmitter has a volume adjust but I haven't tried to see what is best. I bet the headphones would help in this case to dial in to perfect levels. I think that is all I can tell you, but the reason I wanted to be a bit more thorough is that this product might be expensive for some people to consider (still being relatively low for what it is) or others might feel it's price mean it can't be good. To those who want to stretch the budget and get wireless it is well worth it. For those who think it is "cheap" and won't be quality you aren't likely going to get a better option on this end of the scale. It delivers solid performance and I haven't ever had an issue with this companies product. Sorry if this review is scattered as I was just trying to list out what I saw. Oh and one thing that differs from their other camera mounted receiver The clip doesn't come off this transmitter don't try haha. TL;DR: Light weight, versatile - plug and play. Can't beat it for the value!
