Purchased in July. Was originally happy. Beginner and rare user so I don't need super high quality. Plug and Play worked well. Jump to less than 2 months of later, (I used it maybe 3 times) the USB-C port ripped out when disconnecting. I have reached out to company, will update with response.

I don’t think this USB-C microphone is technically completely wireless. There is a receiver you need to plug into your phone via USB-C, and a transmitter that requires a 3.5mm jack cable with a mic tip to record. This setup is perfect for recording audio inside my motorcycle helmet, which has cramped space. Pretty good recording quality, would recommend. Also nice that this thing came with a case for itself

I like Movo products, I have a wired mic of theirs I bought some time ago that still works. They make solid gear. This mic isn’t really a favorite of mine as it feels like it is too big compared to other wireless lav mics I have used. It runs on 2 AAA batteries which is kind of a nuisance. In the age of lithium ion batteries, going out to buy overpriced AA batteries is just not great. They add to the size and weight of the transmitter. I’ve worked sound before and with using disposable batteries, without a battery indicator you have to just waste batteries between each big and/or important gig to avoid losing the mic halfway through an important one-time event. I have seen these things fail mid wedding because of a disposable battery dying.
The instructions seem like they were copy pasted from another product as they mention there being a cold shoe attachment provided and I can say I have checked and tried to mount the receiver, there is NO Cold Shoe attachment included. The receiver is going to stick out of the usb-c port. Luckily, on saving grace is, unlike another on I tested out, this receiver module worked on a short usb c extension cable (40gbps rated) so my phone could remain in the camera cage safely. The receiver still dangled since there isn’t the listed cold shoe attachment listed on the features list on page one of the instructions.
Sound quality is great but I didn’t wander too far from the receiver to get a maximum distance.
Connecting to the mic was seamless as the receiver does the connecting automatically and it worked in the iPhone camera app as well as other video apps.
If you don’t mind risking a dead battery and carry extra AAA batteries in your gear bag with all the other things you need to worry about this can work for the average one person shoot. An actual cold shoe mount would be great to mount the receiver. The belt clip is too big to qualify as a cold shoe attachment.

What a good wireless mic set at a great price. It's more of a neutral sounding mic. Not saying there's any need to, but you could always swap the inexpensive lapel mic with a slightly higher quality one if desired. The bodypack transmitter, and receiver worked flawless for me. The bodypack requires 2 AAA batteries, where the receiver is powered by Type-C or USB using the adapter. There's even a 3.5mm monitoring jack with dedicated monitoring volume buttons. Everything stores neatly inside the included hard case. The only drawback for me, is the receiver sticks out a ways, and I'd be concerned about bumping into it if I was hand holding my phone. In a phone holder, or on a tripod though, no problem. I think this is a fantastic deal for a good quality wireless microphone system.
