If you use your iPhone for vlogging and find that the built in microphone doesn’t do a very good job of recording your voice when there is a lot of background noise, this video is for you. In this video, you will hear the difference between the iPhone’s built-in microphone and the Edutige EIM-008 unidirectional external microphone in a vlogging type of situation where there is a lot of background noise. In this case the background noise comes courtesy of a leaf blower that is about 50 feet away.
You will also be interested in this video if you have an iPhone 6 or newer and you have seen videos online, or perhaps even experienced how well the built in microphone works when the sound source is relatively close to the phone. You will see from the video that when there is background noise, the iPhone’s built-in microphone falls far short compared to an external lavalier microphone.
What do you think? Is the iPhone’s built-in microphone good enough on its own?

Carl,
Where is the link to look at the microphone? Searched Amazon for eim-008 mic
and got nothing.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for the question. The link is in the post. I’ll make it more obvious but here it is: http://www.edutige.net/shop/eim-008-unidirectional-external-microphone-iphone-ipad-apple-computers/
The EIM-008 is not for sale on Amazon. It’s only available here. If you decide to order, you can enter the coupon code edutige10 for a 10% discount 🙂
