Hi there,
I bought recently 2 zoom h1's and 2 3.5mm lavalier mic's that fits samsung and iphone but just don't work with the zoom h1.
So i am planning to buy another mic's for the zoom h1 and wanting to ask:
1.Would xlr outpoot mic produce better quality than a 3.5 mm mic?
2. If it doe's, my zoom h1 doesnt has xlr connection, so would an adapter damage the quality?
3. Do you think i can get an adapter that will make my samsung mic to fit the zoom h1?
I don't know if it is important for the thead but the mic i search for is lavalier cardioid/unidirectional.
 
What inputs does the zoom have? If it has 1/4 inch (like a guitar cable) then you probably can just get an adapter. If you own a set if headphones, you already probably own the adapter to do it.
 
I am looking for a lavalier.
my max budget is 60$.
I want to know if it ill be a better option to use an xlr than a regular 3.5 mm mic and if it would keep the quality of the recordings if ill use an adapter.
 
The adapter shouldn't make a difference in quality. The kind if connector used doesn't have anything ti do with quality, it is more about design choices and what the intended use of the Mic is.
