Review of $3 Aliexpress Microphone

Making videos on hive has been easier with the addition of a phone tripod stand I got on Aliexpress last year. It's one of my best online purchases so far so I decided to further improve my video quality by improving my sound. I got a microphone this time from Aliexpress.

My mic finally arrived my house about one month after purchase. It took only 6 days to get to Nigeria from China according to the tracking information on the app. I noticed that most times, the delay is usually from Lagos port. It takes longer shipping from Lagos to Kaduna than shipping from China to Lagos, just look at that!

I got the mic for $2.95 inclusive of delivery which is almost free. This is the direct link to the item incase you're interested in getting it also. Watch the video to find out what I think about this mic.

@harlowjourney here's the review I promised.

It seems like you are not yet sure whether it was a good purchase. It was a good deal, though, for sure!

It doesn't amplify my sound like a mic should. I don't advice you buy this.

The best site to buy devices is Aliexpress, but Nigerian corruption has made it extremely tough for buyers. I purchased a headphone from Aliexpress last year but have yet to receive it, despite Aliexpress stating that it has been delivered and the post office stating that it has not yet been delivered. I suspect it was stolen after being delivered to the post office. I hope you make the most of the microphone.

AliExpress is a huge trading platform, but even here there are disputes, especially about the quality of goods, delivery times and dispute resolution. The platform offers a wide selection, but it is important to read seller reviews carefully. Complaints and reviews page: https://aliexpress.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html including those related to counterfeit cases.

It's really based on its functions but you really got it very cheap oo

You might be right about the noise difference. I don't have an expensive mic like some people have, but I have an old headset with a mic on it that came with a cellphone in the long ago before bluetooth was very common. The mic is probably around the same quality as yours. The difference in sound is that my laptop fan is VERY LOUD so if I'm recording with laptop you can hear that noise a lot; if I use the headset mic it mostly eliminates that noise from the recording.
Try it outside on a windy day and that will be a good test, because video from a phone or camera on a windy day is always very noisy, and maybe the mic will be better?
Mine is like this:

Exactly, you get what I mean! I will try it outside like you said. It probably isn't a terrible buy afterall.

I don't advise you to buy a phone on Aliexpress, the risk of getting scammed is too much. You can order phone accessories but not a phone. Jumia Nigeria is a better option instead. I bought a phone and laptop and there was no issue.

Nice review. I think it's a nice deal. I ordered both a few weeks ago and it's arrived in the country already. I can't wait to see how well it functions too. Is your tripod a mini tripod stand?

I don't know if it's called a mini one. It has long legs. I also got it on Aliexpress
