With the Pocket 2 and it's wireless mic, my computer and the GoPro Hero 11 Black with Media Mod the Shure works flawlessly and the sound quality. The Ankerwork M650 however requires an adapter for this to work properly with it, but I had one of those on hand and it sounds awesome with that setup as well.
The build quality is top notch and I think it's worth the extra money over some of the cheaper mics you might find. I bought a two pack of cheaper mics on Amazon a few years ago and this mic outperforms them in pretty much every way.
I had previously purchased a Rode smartLav+ mic. The problem with the Rode was echo. I tried lowering the mic gain, less echo, but echo was still there. So I purchased a Shure MVL mic. Sound on the Shure MVL is more natural sounding, and there is ZERO echo (using the exact same set up as I had used with the Rode mic). Maybe I got a bum Rode, don't know. Whatever the problem - the sound was unusable recording with the Mevo.
The Shure MVL is a hands down winner. It's found a Shure spot in my video recording arsenal. ;-)
I should have known from the beginning, and lesson learned: Never buy a lav mike that advertises to be for a smartphone. Even though with the right adaptor TRRS to TRS you can use it on your audio recording device, like I did on my Zoom H2N)... this mike in the end was made for smartphones. Meaning: The target audience do not care much for sound quality — smartphones or any other devices such as tablets, laptops on that matter have the most terrifying recording sound quality in my experience, and no professional would record on such devices. The manufacturer would not even bother in my opinion to create a good quality lav mike. With that in mind, I won't be even bothering with the competitor Rode Smartlav+, either. For good sound quality lav mike, I have to look for something much more sophisticated than that. I hope this helps you in your journey as well.

Yo lo uso con un dji mic y son la combinación perfecta.
Sobre todo porque no necesito metros y metros de cable.😅
Si lo escuchas del celular posiblemente no se oiga muy limpio, pero una vez que lo escuchas en la PC o audífonos se escucha muy claro y limpio. No se alcanza a escuchar el ruido ambiente (tendría que estar muy muy muy alto para que se alcance a escuchar).
Las personas que he grabado su audio desde el celular lo usan dentro de un bolsillo del pantalón y no se escuchan ruidos (golpes) en el audio por mover o tocar el cable.
Lo uso con su aplicación Motiv Audio, grabando en formato WAV, ganancia 8.0dB.
Satisfecho con los resultados.
In questo caso, questo microfonino non mi ha affatto deluso, degno prodotto del marchio al quale appartiene.
L'ho provato in diverse circostanze (in studio, all'aperto, col telefono e action cam) ed ha sempre dato risultati molto positivi. Ho effettuato un confronto con alcuni microfoni "blasonati" sulla stessa fascia di prezzo, tipo il Rode Wireless Go e il Sennheiser XS Lav, e lo Shure li batte entrambi a mani basse entrambi sotto ogni aspetto.
Un'altra nota positiva è che utilizzato in accoppiamento con il DJI MIC, il risultato è veramente fenomenale.
Il microfono è arrivato in una confezione ben protetta e professionale, che includeva tutto il necessario per iniziare a registrare immediatamente. Ho apprezzato l'attenzione ai dettagli nel packaging, che ha contribuito a creare un'esperienza complessiva positiva, nello specifico mi é piaciuta molto la borsetta protettiva, in ecopelle molto resistente e robusta, veramente ben fatta.
PACKAGING:
La confezione è composta da:
1 microfono a condensatore con cavo jack (3,5mm), il cavo è abbastanza lungo, circa 2m
1 Antivento, clip da cravatta
1 Custodia protettiva (molto ben fatta e robusta!)
1 Libretto di istruzioni
In conclusione, consiglio vivamente l'acquisto di questo microfono in quanto lo reputo il migliore al momento su questa fascia di prezzo (60/70€)
Decisamente 5 stelle!
