This is a good miniature cardioid condenser microphone but little high budgeted, compared to others. If you are new to these terms, cardioid microphones are unidirectional microphones that cancel the noise in the background and only listen to the voice played around it. Condenser Mics usually come in big sizes that are used in studios for podcasts, music recording etc. and this is the miniature version of such mics. This mic is great in picking up vocal as well as acoustic guitar sounds. It runs on both, batteries or Phantom power. You can clip it to your shirt with the help of two types of clips that come with it.
2. PowerDeWise Omnidirectional Mic
Omnidirectional mics are good to go if you want to pick up the responses or replies from the surroundings. This is currently one of the best lavalier mics. This PowerDeWise microphone comes with a 3.5mm jack. So, it’s great in terms of compatibility. You can use it with your iPhone, Android phone, iPad, PC etc. It is capable of recording very clear and high-quality sound as you hear in videos by good YouTubers and professional podcasters. The best thing that I liked about the mic is that it comes with a long 78” velcro wrapped extension cord. It will very easy to record the video from the farther distance and record the bigger view if you want. Also Read: 5 Best Audio Management Apps For Android
3. Rode SmartLav+
SmartLav+ is little costly but the best lavalier microphone for iPhone. Especially because they have an RØDE Recording app for iOS. But you can also use it with other devices like DSLR, Android, PC etc. which have got the jack. The mic too is omnidirectional and has got a high-quality condenser capsule that picks all the intentional voices and ignores wind sounds or hard sounds of the consonants that you accidentally speak. The body including the mount of this mic is more durable than the other mics in the list.
4. Sennheiser ME 2
5. YouMic
It is another good budget Mic for iPhone, Android or other recorders. You can use it for making vlogs, podcasts or general videos simply by connecting it with a 3.5 mm jack. It’s an Omnidirectional microphone that records very clear sounds from all directions within the distance up to 3 meters. It comes with 59 inches cord and is light weighted, so during the interview, it is hardly visible. The metal mount clip makes sure that it stays with any cloth you wear and any activity you are doing. Like you can video while moving or running and it won’t come off.
6. Purple Panda Microphone Kit
Purple Panda has the most compatible microphone kit that you can use with so many devices for filmmaking, gaming, Skype chat etc. All the equipment i.e. jack required to connect with smartphones, laptops and various GoPros are available in this kit. You do not need any additional recording device with the mic. Just plug into your video recorder and produce the best audio-video content.

This one is a cardioid microphone like the 1st one in the list. It connects only to the transmitter with 3 pin XLR connector. Though it’s unidirectional, it has a good catching area and records clean sound, canceling the background and wind sounds. Movo LV4-C comes with a 1-year warranty.
