    So nice program

  2. SAITAMA on November 2, 2019 at 5:51 pm

    Anyone knows how to put usb mic to android phone.

  3. John Spurrier on November 2, 2019 at 5:53 pm

    Any microphones for an Android? Looking to record my band rehearsals.

  4. Naulo Sanchar on November 2, 2019 at 5:55 pm

    I was searching for a mic. .now I got what I want. Thanks for nice video

  5. Rogan Richeart on November 2, 2019 at 5:56 pm

    I like that you showed options but the sound was bad on this video. I think using the regular phone mic would have sound better.

  6. Julia on November 2, 2019 at 5:58 pm

    I don’t have the greatest phone, it’s a Motorola g6 play. I plan on buying a Canon rebel t6i but with zero videos made, i feel I need to create a few videos before investing in equipment like that. I’m buying a 8" ringlight phone tripod thing and trying to figure out which microphone works with a Motorola because it seems a lot of microphones I’m seeing on amazon don’t mention Motorola in compatible phones🙄

    I feel a hesitation to buy a microphone that clips on to you just because I feel it would look odd and wouldnt work with alot of my clothing choices lol

  7. ryan shout on November 2, 2019 at 5:58 pm

    I love it this video

  8. MartiniGasolini on November 2, 2019 at 5:59 pm

    What are the best ones for concerts???

  9. libertando al Cautivo on November 2, 2019 at 5:59 pm

    Next time, test them out ,

  10. Throneofmight on November 2, 2019 at 6:00 pm

    Thanks for the video. Not sure if this has been asked before, I would like to record bands live shows, which external microphones would you recommend for this purpose? I will use this phone https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_4a-8420.php. Thanks in advance!

  11. josh_rit on November 2, 2019 at 6:01 pm

    talking about the best mics, yet yours are trash

  12. cinevender on November 2, 2019 at 6:01 pm

    This was a well made and informative video. I am guessing that for each segment, you used the microphone being discussed which allowed astute viewers to hear the audio captured by each microphone. Thank you – Dan A

  13. Lost Planet Films on November 2, 2019 at 6:02 pm

    thanks dude this is what im gonna need for my channel

  14. Doug Grinbergs on November 2, 2019 at 6:04 pm

    Sounds sibilant, distorted, kinda thin. (:-( Maybe get audio advice elsewhere. (;-)

  15. crazyleg2006 on November 2, 2019 at 6:06 pm

    I’m gonna be honest with you–I’m starting to doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

  16. T Burgee on November 2, 2019 at 6:09 pm

    I can’t get anything to worj with my moto Z – have a USB-C lav mic and it wont work.

  17. chuckyz2 on November 2, 2019 at 6:10 pm

    never take advise on microphones from a tester that has horrible sound quality. Moving on.

  18. Bil Ding on November 2, 2019 at 6:10 pm

    Thanks man. I was wondering so i looked it up and yours was the first video. I made the 1000th like for you too.

  19. Vladimir Tikovenko on November 2, 2019 at 6:10 pm

    less than 100 years invented Stereo. The Finnish company Nokia, 5 years ago, installed 4 microphones in its Smartphones. And here came Mono microphones. Proress not stop. Or regress?

  20. Amber Cantu on November 2, 2019 at 6:11 pm

    So which one do you think would be the best for recording at a concert/party?? I would really like to know cause last concert I went to, all my videos from it all I can hear is the bass 🙁

  21. Mark Nolastname on November 2, 2019 at 6:12 pm

    Your ssss are terrible. Not what I expected on an audio/mic recommendation video.

  22. ANUPAM KUMAR on November 2, 2019 at 6:12 pm

    Do they operate on all samsung phones – i mean external microphone option aint available in phone settings

  23. PhoenixYT 124 on November 2, 2019 at 6:13 pm

    The microphone your recording with is absolute crap.

  24. Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec on November 2, 2019 at 6:14 pm

    2:40 Don’t like the sound

  25. Pallavi Shetty on November 2, 2019 at 6:16 pm

    Do all these work with a one plus 3T?

  26. Tech Lovers on November 2, 2019 at 6:18 pm

    Shshssss
    In voice!!

  27. Trucker Daddy - AKA John in Québec on November 2, 2019 at 6:19 pm

    3:10 Do you have a Amazon link for the
    boya video microphone
    Please. I like the mount and can’t find it

  28. TheGrtfy on November 2, 2019 at 6:20 pm

    Can you stream while using the shotgun?? Or it makes interference?

  29. beniTutorials on November 2, 2019 at 6:22 pm

    My question…
    Are we need special app to attach the microphone with s8+??? Or it connects automatically 🤔

  30. Jey Wilson on November 2, 2019 at 6:24 pm

    Im looking into a mic that can handle the concerts i attend across the country. Some are the loudest shows in the world and i need something that can make my shitty phone get quality audio

  31. Cape King2233 on November 2, 2019 at 6:24 pm

    Ssssssst ssst sssssssssssssssssssssssttt

    Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssstttttt

  32. ajay rai on November 2, 2019 at 6:25 pm

  33. GOODLUCK MACHANGU on November 2, 2019 at 6:26 pm

    Hi Bro, I am in Tanzania how can I get this mic

  34. Alan Heath on November 2, 2019 at 6:27 pm

    Thanks John – very useful. I think it is going to be Rode for me.

  35. Jade on November 2, 2019 at 6:27 pm

    My samsung S9+ doesn’t seem to work with any external microphones. I have the Rode one.

  36. EL DEL 370Z on November 2, 2019 at 6:29 pm

    Do you have the link to the Boy MM1 mic i cant find it with the tripod mount

  37. Ebrahim Mohammed on November 2, 2019 at 6:33 pm

    Ur voice not clear

  38. Darius Jablonskis on November 2, 2019 at 6:33 pm

    @PhoneArena what kind of mic do you recommend for capturing live events sound ?

  39. Bart Hartemink on November 2, 2019 at 6:34 pm

    How is it that the audio on this video is so bad?

  40. Guday Foks on November 2, 2019 at 6:35 pm

    Good review! but for small gopro/smartphone setup this edutige etm-001 is great for the price and fantastic for new and shy vloggers! video test on my channel!

  41. cype man on November 2, 2019 at 6:37 pm

    Is $20 the best about it? Not if it’s crap.

  42. RAYHAN HOSSAIN on November 2, 2019 at 6:42 pm

    While I record video, why my microphone don’t support?

  43. Tony S. on November 2, 2019 at 6:42 pm

    this video has crappy sounding sound.

  44. Evidence Based Faith on November 2, 2019 at 6:43 pm

    Great video sir, thank you.

  45. DJ Programer on November 2, 2019 at 6:47 pm

    1) You didn’t list down where they would be $20
    I noticed this was posted back in 2017 close to Christmas so I understand why it’s $20
    2) Your $20 products go for about $100 so compare the original price with the discounted price

  46. TheGrtfy on November 2, 2019 at 6:48 pm

    Your hiss doesn’t let me hear your recommendations

  47. Teisha. on November 2, 2019 at 6:48 pm

    I can’t take this seriously. Get a better system

  48. Endo Soga on November 2, 2019 at 6:49 pm

    Thanks brother I’m going to check out that purple panda

  49. LoVeLoVe on November 2, 2019 at 6:49 pm

    Are any of these any good for recording loud audio like a concert?

  50. lalit Sharma on November 2, 2019 at 6:50 pm

    you could have added amazon links in the video
