Best Wireless Microphones for Vlogging
Microphone for phone recording - JustinGuitar Community
[question] What are some good mic recommendations for an android phone? Are there any mics that don't need an adapter?
Suggestions for a lavalier mic that can plug into a phone? And an app to use on that phone? (android)
I bought a $35 radio shack lav mic and plugged it into my Samsung S4 Android and it worked with no adapter. In fact, the adapter messed it up.
For what you are doing you might look into this type of mic. http://www.amazon.com/Light-weight-Profile-Headworn-Microphone-Wireless/dp/B00K721BBI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1435163616&sr=8-11&keywords=jk+headset+mic
That particular mic won't work. You would need to find a normal 1/8" plug on the end.
For an app I used the Smart voice recorder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andrwq.recorder&hl=en
I think a better way to go would be to get an actual voice recorder. The Zoom H1 is under $100 and will sound way better than your android phone.
I ended up buying the H4n with the Sennheiser wireless mic combo. It's expensive but I love it.

Hey, I’m looking for a good wireless microphone for vlogging. I’m just getting started and plan to shoot daily vlogs using my smartphone, so I need something that’s easy to set up and use, even for a beginner like me.
I purchased the DJI Mic Mini. It’s been excellent for vlogging: clear audio quality, lightweight, and the battery easily covers long shoots.
I’m based in the US, so something easily available here would be great.
The microphone should have a wireless range of at least 50 to 100 feet, so I can move around freely while recording. I’d prefer something small and lightweight, as I don’t want it to get in the way during shoots. Audio quality is really important to me, clear sound with minimal background noise is a must.
I also need a battery life of at least 3 to 4 hours, since I’ll be filming outdoors and on the go. It has to be compatible with phones, preferably with simple plug-and-play support. I’d like it to be from a trusted brand, and my budget is around $100 to $150.
If you’ve personally used a good wireless mic or have one you recommend, I’d really appreciate your suggestion.
