Does it work with a smartphone?

Only with an adapter cable, which is not included. The mic itself has a 3.5mm plug made for computer headset jacks.

Is it good for recording music?

It is built for voice. The 40–16500Hz range and 56dB signal-to-noise ratio are fine for chat and spoken recording, but instruments and singing will sound thin.

Does it need a battery or phantom power?

No. It runs on the 3.0V standard operating voltage supplied through the plug, so there is nothing to charge.

The mini microphone with its fixed audio cable and a microphone stand. No adapter cable is included.

Will it reduce background noise?

The unidirectional capsule picks up mostly from the front, which helps in a quiet room. It is not an active noise-cancelling mic.

Our take on the Mini Condenser Microphone

This is a small wired condenser microphone with a 3.5mm plug, built mainly for voice chat, recording and karaoke on a computer. It uses a unidirectional condenser capsule rated 40–16500Hz with -28dB sensitivity and a 56dB signal-to-noise ratio, and it comes with a clip-on stand. It suits casual talk and voice recording, not serious music capture; dedicated USB or XLR condenser mics in the same price class offer wider frequency response and lower noise.
