Best Microphones for Android Phone |Experts review

[Tehreem123]

I searched the best microphones for Android phone, and while doing my research I came across a lot of reviews online. I checked articles and recommendations on TechRadar, SoundGuys, Android Authority, and Wired, where they listed some of the top options for Android-compatible microphones.
From what I have seen, some of the popular choices include:
Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone/Android/Camera/PC/Laptop
DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case), Wireless Lavalier Microphone for iPhone/Camera/Android
Both look really good, but I am still confused about which one would be more practical for everyday use, especially for recording videos, podcasts, or even casual voice recording on Android.
Would love to hear your expert opinions before I make a final decision. thnks in advance!

Have you considered the built-in microphones?

I’m confused? Your other topic listed totally different products?

I have used the phone's built in microphones for spur of the moment videos shot live with my narration and most of the time they are very good. I have also done the same with a Go Pro and my Sony A7. I had looked at the Rode mics, but never bought one. If there is too much background noise, I just narrate the video and get rid of the original audio.

I see this a lot. You put "Best wireless mic for Android" or "Best podcast mic" into Google and you get lots of suggestions for $20 to $100 mics sold on Amazon and other online sites. There are a bunch of rave reviews from people who have never used professional gear telling how wonderful the sound is and how it recorded everything perfectly. While the products do indeed record your voice, you'll never see them used in a real broadcast system where quality matters.

It depends on what your needs are, I guess. I have cheap earbuds that I use when I'm cutting grass or working around the house. They connect to my phone and if somebody calls me, they switch to phone mode. They're fine for listening to some tunes, but when I am trying to listen critically to a recording I'm making or mixing, there's no way I would use them.
