Petite Microphone for Smartphones

Before I got this, I was using my phone's microphone for recording cooking tutorials and family videos, and the audio was often muffled and hard to hear, especially in noisy environments like my kitchen. Now, with this RODE mic, the difference is night and day—my voice comes through crisp and clear, making the videos much more professional. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it's become a go-to for quick recordings on the go. However, I did notice that it picks up a fair bit of background sound if I'm not careful, which can be annoying, but it's something I can work around. Overall, it's a solid improvement and quite handy for my needs, though I wish it felt a bit sturdier. :)
- Pros: The sound quality is quite impressive, making my voice clear and sharp in recordings, which is a huge step up from my phone's built-in mic. It's very small and easy to carry around, fitting in my pocket without any hassle, and setting it up is straightforward—just plug it in and it works right away with my smartphone, no fuss or extra steps needed.
- Cons: As it seemed to me, the build feels a bit flimsy and might not hold up well over time, which is a concern for someone who uses gear regularly. There are some occasional issues with background noise pickup that can be a bit distracting, though it's fixable with better placement or environments, but it's not perfect out of the box.
