Soomfon wireless mic review - Is $5 Wireless mic system any good?

The Soomfon wireless mic set comes in lightning and USB-C versions. The USB-C version cost me £5 and the lightning version cost me £10. Sadly the USB-C version arrived damaged (I'm sending it back). I have assumed that both the USB-C and lightning versions will have the same sound quality and I test the lightning version (with iPhone 13 mini) next to a road so that you can get a good gauge of how much this cheap set improves the audio quality of video records with small USB-C cameras or iPhones.

The set comes with a single transmitter and receiver. The receiver doesn't need to charge as it draws power from the device it is connected to. The transmitter (mic) is charged by the case. The case recharges over USB-C. Both the transmitter and receiver snap into the case due to magnets and the case closes with magnets too. Once the receiver is plugged into the device the receiver and transmitter will link automatically (shown in the video).

Overall I think the audio is good and you cannot go wrong for the price. The audio is a huge improvement over the internal camera/phone mics especially for vlogging in noisy environments.

There isn't any setting for noise cancellation, but listening to the audio against the road I think the units may have some built in noise cancellation which is automatic and cannot be turned off.

The unit are cheaper than Ulanzi J12 or HAPPOYEER devices already reviewed. The sound quality is the same and the only difference is that those units comes with 2 transmitters. The J12s have adjustable noise cancellation too.

A good video to watch is the comparison between the Ulanzi J12, HAPPOYEER and DJI Mic set: https://youtu.be/0kfY-bn4D08
