I will never buy another product from these guys. Should have known better. The bulk of Audio-Technica's equip is low-quality.

I set the mike up as per instructions. It worked with a heavy guitar amplifier I have borrowed but refused to work with my iPhone 6, even when the phone was plugged into power. There's nothing on the box or in the online specs about the mobile phones with which it will or will not work. I clicked on a link on this Website which allegedly would have allowed me to ask a question about the failure to work but the resulting page came up with frame only--no capacity to ask a question. Hence I am forced to write this very negative review.

This little microphone is the best lavalier microphone in its class. It delivers good sound quality; much better than the built-in mic of a computer or a smartphone. The long cable allows producers to have flexibility in where they position their talent relative to the camera position. Users will find that It works well with cameras and smartphones. When using with computers, users will find that the sound from the mic is too low. The solution is to use a USB sound card, which boosts the sound to an acceptable level. While there are a LOT of USB sound cards on the market, the ATR2USB from Audio Technica is rock solid, and inexpensive. Are there better-sounding mics out there? Absolutely! But not at this price point. This is a wonderful entry-level mic.

I bought several of these to use on a documentary film shoot and had to replace them all at the last minute with cheapo alternatives from Maplin because it turns out these cannot be plugged into a standard audio mixer as the stereo mini jacks are designed only for use with direct camera or WAV recorder inputs. With decent preamps I reckon the ATR3350 would sound quite good, alas the fundamental design flaws prevent them from being used this way, whereas the Prosound lav mics are both cheaper, more versatile and far more reliable in the same situation.

This product might not be the best... but for its price and quality is a must get. Im a wedding videographer and i got reasonable sound clearness from these lavalier. See and hear the groom for yourself on one of my latest wedding highlights using the audio technica atr3350 plug to an olympus vn-8100pc digital recorder vimeo.com/30374546 the only issues i have is that it doesnt have a battery life indicator but for the price you cant expect detail functionality.

Very good value but you get what you pay for. It reproduces the higher frequencies very well but lack lower freq response. A power on indicator would help to avoid putting it away without turning it off. Perhaps more importantly a power on indicator would greatly reduce the possibility of forgetting to turn it on.

This product is very good. With this mic you can record just the person whose voice you want, even if you have a noisy background or some echo going on. There are four problems. 1st. it is powered by a small battery, would be better AAA instead; 2nd It is mono, but you can correct it on post and 3rd there is no light or sign of low battery and 4th there is no mic level control, so you need to control on camera or move it closer or farther from the person.
