USB Wireless Microphone (K031B)

Firstly, I'd have preferred an onboard, rechargeable battery but I've used units that cost 10 times this amount which use disposable batteries too which is a shame but you can use rechargeable batteries in it which is a compromise that the price point permits. The transmitter and reciever work well, I've experienced no drops in audio or distorted sound. I've also had 3 of these units run at the same time with no issues of compatibility. The headset is really not great. It's bulky and it places the mic right in front of the mouth, picking up every plosive and is not something I use. The lapel mic, however gives a very nice, natural, clear tone when placed on the collar or lapel and works very well. I actually used the mini xlr plug from the headset to make a 1/4 inch jack to mini xlr cable to I can use it for a wireless guitar pack too which is a very simple and useful hack. The packs aren't very small or discreet but I think that's where the financial savings are. I've not used any of the adaptors to run them into my phone or cameras but I see no reason why they shouldn't work just fine.

Connection is easy and reliable. Good for general use but I would not recommend for dictation.

Having bought a Fifine mic before and being impressed with it’s performance, I thought I’d try this wireless combo out as a hands-free solution for podcasting, but was disappointed. I had no problem with setup as a MacBook Pro recognised it immediately as USB PnP Audio Device and the displayed frequency just worked. Trying to record using the headset mic resulted in having to cut out the multitude of plosives from the audio track, the pop shield not being effective; listening to yourself meant adding a speaker or wearing headphones as well as the ear hook / headpiece which was just not practical. Using the Lavalier Mic was an improvement in plosive free audio but resulted in a hum I could not get rid of even when the noise gate was turned way down. A good idea, but it did not work for me as I had hoped; OK for amplification with a speaker, but not much use for recording.

I bought this for Zoom workshops and it is perfect and well worth the money. So easy to use - just plug and play. And delegates say the sound quality is perfect.

I love the product, but I've had to buy so many replacement microphones as the cable is prone to damage end ends up crackling after a few weeks' use. Admittedly I'm using them to teach ballet classes, so I am moving whilst wearing the mic, but it's a shame there's not an option to have a more durable microphone cable. I will say I was given a couple of replacement mics when I first mentioned this, but the product has not been improved, and I currently don't have the budget to replace the whole mic system. I find the rest of the mic, fantastic, it's easy to use, easy to set up and the sound (when the cable is intact) is great.

The microphone is very good for the price. It is plug and play. The transmitter box is made of plastic and might not take hard knocks, but it is solid. It feels good not to be tethered to the computer during a video conference and it allows you to appear more animated and energetic.

The lapel microphone has a low gain and noticeable background hiss. You need to use audio filter software. The headset microphone suffers less because it can use a lower software gain.

The system was easy to set up, and worked well at first sight. However, the unit feels very flimsy, and there were problems when the speaker was physically active, with intermittent crackling and noise. It wasn't possible to determine whether this was due to a faulty connection in the lavalier mike lead or connector, or to the Bluetooth connection dropping out when the transmitter was facing away from the receiver.
