Overall An Excellent Little Action Cam
This is one of the best birthday presents to receive. The picture is so clear and the stability is great. I love this product that I will be ordering another one for my son. I’m very picking with everything but this is a great fine. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Great Value; Great Service!
I had low expectations for this product and have been pleasantly surprised. I've been struggling with getting decent sound at political forums where candidates answer questions in front of a crowd. The microphones on my iPhone/iPad gave very poor performance. The microphone on my Canon Vixia RF800 was even worse. I haven't done a live event yet, but testing using a couple of TVs and radios to provide background/ambient noise convince that this gadget will do the trick. I'll be doing an event on 10/20/18 and another on 10/23/18. I'll get back to you with the results.Meanwhile, could someone recommend a simple desktop microphone stand for these microphones? They're too big for the stand I have and I don't see specifications on the stands I see on Amazon. ThanksI spoke too soon on this review. When I wrote this review I had tested only one of the bodypack transmitters, .50, and not the .30. When I was doing the sound testing at a political forum the .30 was inoperable. Fortunately, I was able to get the participants to use handheld microphones which worked well. After troubleshooting persuaded me that the .30 was really bad (it lit up, but didn't connect to the transceiver) I wrote an email to the support people acknowledging that I had dawdled for two months before testing and had missed the return deadline. I asked if I could return it anyway for exchange.The vendor replied promptly, told me to not to return the defective body pack, and sent me another which I received in two days! It works great leaving me amazed and pleased. The ladies where I used to work referred to me as that "cheap bastard" and I suppose there is some truth to that. I purchased this product largely because of the price. However, it performs as well as products from another vendor that cost far more. Frankly, the sound system that I've built with this Phenyx stuff is great; I'll be recommending it to the libraries and non-profits that I work with.

First unit was faulty, but the replacement is work
--12-2019--Looked very promising, recorded some videos Ok. They would only play on the camera unit itself or on my phone via WIFI. The downloaded video files would not play on phone or PC. Maybe a faulty unit (sounds like something is rattling loose inside). Unit also froze with led on, but dark display and unresponsive to inputs, when trying to open downloaded videos with In Shot App. Pulled battery to power off. No stars till it's working.-- Update 10-2020--Would not record initially. OK after reformatting the memory card. Then there was a rattle inside the unit, which the microphone was picking up on my recordings. I sent Akaso a video demonstrating the problem and they sent me a replacement unit. It did take a long time to receive the replacement So far it has worked very well, really a bargain for the quality of the videos at this price. So it took a little time to resolve, but Akaso took care of it and I'm quite happy with this purchase.

One of the best USB microphones out there!
I've been using USB microphones for a few years. I've used some of the best noted budget USB microphones that cost double the price or more of this one. I can say this microphone is comparable to the best, if not slightly better in some areas. The mic is easy to use. It's a plug and play mic that's designed to output great quality sound that's clear and crisp. It works and integrates well with audio software and equipment, making it effortless to use and get started out of the box. It comes with a nice weighted stand, that's sturdy, solid and appropriate to mount and record on any desk or table.I've used this mic to create various forms of content and was very pleased with the sound and quality. It might take some adjustments to the gain and software to get it to it's best capacity, but the point being is that it has that premium capacity built into it. It's a great sound recording and podcasting USB mic, at a fraction of the price of a more premium priced mic. Great mic at a great price!

Great value for your money!!
I didn't expect to love this product as much as I do! I purchased it because I was going out of town for the holidays, and I wanted to be able to keep an eye on my animals. Set up was super easy! My husband and I were both able to create accounts and each view our camera at any time of day. The motion detection is amazing - so much so that I had to limit notifications because they were blowing up my phone when my animals were running around. The picture quality is great. One of my favorite features is that you can zoom in to the video while you are watching live. You can also download videos and take screenshots. There is a microphone that has decent volume too. I haven't used it outside yet because we love keeping it in our living area, but we are planning on purchasing another to have outdoors. 10/10 would recommend!!

Versatile, good sound -- very impressed!
The media could not be loaded.
This is a terrific microphone set and the sound quality is surprisingly good. You get everything you need in the box to get you started. Well, almost everything. You get three USB chargers -- so you can charge the RX (receiver) and the two TX lavalier mics simultaneously. You get a TRS-TRS cable for connecting to a camera or any device that uses a two-ring microphone jack, and a TRS-TRRS cable for connecting to a device like an iPhone... if you have one that still has a headphone jack.The only thing you don't get is an adapter to connect the TRRS to the Lightning port in an iPhone, because newer iPhones don't have a headphone jack anymore. I already had an adapter I could use. After I got everything connected, I explored the different settings on the BOYA. I kept the volume at 6 (the default), and I discovered that if you use the "Line In" setting, you don't get audio. (Use the "Mic In" setting.) Also, "Enable Mute" doesn't mean that you're muting the device, but simply that you'll have the ability to mute the audio by pressing the Mute button.Once I got that figured out, I needed to find a comfortable distance for the mic so that my audio wasn't peaking. It was too "hot" on the first try. Don't put it too close to your mouth, because the mics are very sensitive!I'm so glad I got these wireless mics. They're more versatile than I expected and I had no wireless interference, even though there's lots of wireless signals in my neighborhood. I think the sound quality is good - and it's interesting to hear the difference between the built-in mic on the TX and the wired-in lavalier. I have a feeling I'll be mostly using the built-in mic, but it's nice to have the option. The BOYA wireless mics are a good addition to your toolkit!

fix for xbox one,s and x (party chat)
listen, this amplifier is the best ive ever owned i only tested 1 other which was the astro mix amp tr pro. sound quality for the g6 it exceeded my expectations! sound stage is phenomenal! i play ALOT of PUBG fps games and if you want a good amplifier with super sound quality then this amplifier is right for you . now, i read that ALOT of people are saying you cant use a mic with the g6 now its true XBOX ONE dont allow it however, i got a fix, it requires you to have a laptop or computer. how i did it i bought me a microphone plugged it on the computer , then i got a aux cable ran that to my tv cause thats how i got my set up and plugged it in the back of the computer IN the mic component (green plug in) THEN i downloaded the xbox one application and send invites to ppl i want to play. and there you go so not only will you have full quality sound coming out your headset or headphone or whatever you are using to plug in the g6 but you can also hear )party chat)through the tv and communicate with party using ANY microphone . i also did a test on a computer speaker and it works flawlessly! NOTE: that the power usb cable of the g6 be plugged in ANYWHERE but.. the computer or else this technique WONT work. i hope anyone reading my review will find it quite helpful. happy gaming and oh one more thing, i got it as advertised 2 days!!!!!! for that, thank you amazon prime! A quick note before i forget. (please consider buying a better quialty toslink to mini optical cable cause the one that comes with the g6 feels very cheap and the cord is super short aswell as the usb type b cable) (OR if ANYTHING download the xbox one app on your phone, buy you some loud earbuds and there you have it chat and full spectrum sound quality!)

Nice action camera
I purchased this camera to use on my motorcycle. The video quality is very good as is the image stabilization. The battery life seems to vary for some reason but in 4k 30 mode, it seems to last around 45 minutes to an hour. The microphone seems to work fine. I have it mounted on the motorcycle handlebars so the sound recording is not really a concern to me but the audio is clear. My previous camera was the Akaso V50 Pro native and I think the V50x is a better overall camera. The buttons are much easier to use and the touch screen menu works much better. I haven't used the remote so I really can't say much about it other than I like the design of it better than the one from the v50 pro. For the quality, price, and features this camera seems hard to beat.Update: This action camera continues to work exceptionally well. All the controls are easy to use and the touchscreen is very responsive. Hard to believe there is a better action camera at this price point.

Crisp Sound Signature With Punchy Bass; Solid Over
The media could not be loaded.
With the slim blade like design of this speakerphone, I was impressed with the rich bass and clarity that this unit can pump out; The sound quality is significantly better than any Bluetooth Speaker I’ve encountered so far. I did find that the sound was a bit bass heavy and I was able change the sound equalizer setting with the optional Poly Lens App software.From what I can see from the Poly support website, the Poly Lens App does not have mobile app support yet and is coming later; I was able to use this app in Windows 11 without any issues and I was prompted with a software update for speakerphone. Most of the information from the app is useful for office ergonomics and overall digital wellbeing; For general use, I only wanted change the sound equalizer to ‘Bright’ and listen to the soothing soundscape options.I can see this being a nice desktop speaker for smaller workspaces; I love that there are accessible buttons for volume control and muting the microphone. The rocket button works well as a play/pause button for media control; The other functions for this rocket button were not useful for my use case and there were only a select few options availableThe speakerphone did work flawlessly wired and wirelessly over Bluetooth; The main difference between this and the ‘Sync 20+’ version is that there is a USB-A Bluetooth dongle included with the ‘Plus’ Version. Functionally this speakerphone is the same and the only reason for getting the dongle is if the fixed USB-A cable does not have enough reach.Construction wise, it is a very solid unit and the plastic underside feels like a similar grade to outdoor patio furniture. I appreciate the inclusion of the protective case and lanyard; I don’t see myself travelling with this speakerphone often is because a headset or earbuds is much more compact.For privacy concerns, I would not use this in a shared open office space; For calls, I prefer to use this in a more quiet and private office setting. The microphone is able to clearly able to capture my voice with minimal background environmental noise.
