I tried a fresh battery and got the same disappointing results
-
Between the extended frequency response (many cheap mics that are similar to this sound muffled or dark), high output without distortion, sensitivity, extra long cable, splitter cable (worth almost $10 by itself), and internal battery (most lavalier mics do not work with certain laptops or phones that do not apply microphone power), you simply cannot go wrong on this
-
The batteries, however, are available at the dollar store
-
The battery on/off thing is annoying.
-
What a waste (plus the money wasted buying a new battery).
-
The On/Off switch is easy to get knocked into the wrong position while in your bag, etc (and thus draining your battery without you knowing).Doesn't come with windshield.
-
I killed my first battery by forgetting to turn that off.
-
I threw out the battery that came with it and replaced it with a nice shiny new name brand battery... still nothing.
-
My only gripe is the batteries
-
Tried a better new battery and no improvement
-
Battery was dead first time I went to use it
-
Battery is cheap to replace though
-
If you forget to turn off the mic, you'll drain the battery for sure
-
Brand new battery, tried a variety of applications, tried removing the iPhone adaptor and using it with my Olympus recorder, etc.
-
Put in the battery to test the microphone, and it's basically defective - you have to shout in order for you to even register audio.
-
Thinking that perhaps the battery was dead, I purchased a new battery and still got no sound out of the mic
-
It is very easy to forget to switch off the power, leaving you with a dead battery
-
Takes one LR-44 battery, available here on Amazon at popular prices.
-
Luckily batteries are not too difficult to find.
-
The only negative thing is there is no LED indicator that the power is on, so, after recording, if you get carried away and want to watch/listen to your new masterpiece, the battery will go and die
-
I use this mic with my GoPro as well as with my Nikon DSLR and the sound is always clean
