This is so close to being a 5-star mic, especially for the price, but the more I listened to it while editing my video, the more I noticed the cost-cutting measures they made to the audio quality. It has a great, rich sound that I'm not used to hearing from my own voice, but it also sounded kind of fuzzy. Not tinny or robotic like some cheaper mics, which was refreshing, but still not as clean as the higher dollar big mics. It's easily the best-sounding lavalier mic I've ever used, though, and none of the room noises such as an overhead ceiling fan got picked up by the more sensitive dynamic nature of this mic.
UPDATE: I was informed by the seller that wireless devices can interfere with the sound, which is what caused some of the fuzziness. While I still think asking wireless devices to be turned off while using a portable mic is problematic and should be communicated better, the combination of their excellent customer service and providing a solution to the quality issue I had makes me feel this mic is now up to the standards of a 5-star review. It's not perfect, but it performs far better than I would expect at the price point and its rating should reflect that.
---Return to original review---
As far as the build, it has a hefty metal XLR plug and a strong lapel clip, and the inclusion of a windscreen was a nice touch so even if my room noise had been picked up there would have been a quick solution for it. The cord could be a little longer, but lavalier mics are generally meant to be connected to a wireless receiver and clipped to your body, so it doesn't need to be that long. With the bulky XLR plug I could see it being more difficult to hide on your person, though, so a longer cord would have been nice for reaching a further away receiver. Mine barely stretched to the portable recorder on the table in front of me, for example, but for my purposes that won't be a problem so I didn't knock any points off for something that's specific use-case.
Like I said, if it wasn't for the lower audio quality this mic would be perfect, and while audio is the most important factor in judging a mic it still sounds very good at this price point and if you're already looking at XLR offerings but want to save money on the mic itself, you can't do much better than this well-built little guy.
The rubber stress relief along the bottom and top of the cable makes me feel confident in the longevity of the product. The cable itself is made of quality material, and is long enough for almost any scenario. A metal alligator clip is included in the package, and fits perfectly on the microphone. Speaking of the microphone, the build quality follows along with the rest of the product and is great for the price. The included windscreen also does a great job blocking out unwanted noise. The box also includes a dead cat windsock for remote shooting.
The sound quality coming out of this mic is almost on part with one double or triple the price. There is no hiss or noise cutoff as can be found in similarly priced lavaliers, and the sound itself it authentic and easy to work with when editing.
This microphone is perfect for the price, and can be used in almost any situation. Whether you're shooting on a camcorder, DSLR, or professional cameras, the Comica CVM-V02O can get the job done. You may need to purchase a little soft or hard carrying case to store the mic in, as the packaging itself isn't too suitable for storage. Just remember to purchase an adapter to go from XLR to 3.5mm if you plan on using this for lower-end cameras.
Following an actual recording and edit for a video, I am revising my rating down from 5 to 3. The build quality and value still retain the remaining stars, but the actual sound quality is poor. Not the worst, but really not useable for any recording or voiceover, which is what I bought this for. Maybe for personal note taking and dictation it is fine. The issue is that the frequency of this mic is limited to 12Khz, which after exploring other lavaliers and recorders, is the lowest of the top end range that I have seen. Most other mics land somewhere up to 20Khz. What does this do? The low end, 100hz is great, because lower frequencies have a reverberating rumble that muddles up the bass. While skipping the range below that sacrifices some studio quality deep bass sounds, most mics of this type offer excellent sound through the mid to high end, more than making up for the missing range. In fact, not having it may be an ideal solution for those working out of home with this frequencies filled by noise from the fridge, AC, other appliances, and the road outside. Getting a high end pro mic for home use would be unwise without building a sound room, as all those sounds would be caught. So it is unforgivable that the Comica also cuts out the top end, sacrificing all ends of the ranges, leaving only mids. This causes any recording to sound flat and muddled with little character. There’s very little dynamic range, borrowing the phrase from the world of photography. Maybe my judgement is harsh based on my usage, while others who record exclusively outside in very noisy environments may find this to be ideal as a way to control the recording so that any sound from the speaker is at least intelligible. However, to make matters worse, there was no amount of post processing or preparation that I could do to make this mic NOT sound like I was speaking in an echoey room. The sound characteristics of this mid are not flattering at all, and makes the speaker sound like he or she is under water. There is nothing more frustrating than recording great video, then overlaying it with Audio that sounds like it is badly buffered and resolved from YouTube.
Ignorance is bliss, and indeed my first impressions were great. But I have since been introduced to higher quality products like the Zoom H1n, RØDE VideoMicro, and the Giant Squid lavalier. These are by no means professional products, but are miles ahead of the Comica in sound quality which is their primary job. One more common trait that these products share: they do not have XLR jacks. I was mistakenly led to believe that having XLR jacks automatically makes a mic higher quality, and I’ve learned that that is completely false. The XLR or balanced input has nothing to do with audio quality, at least at the consumer spectrum. The highest quality lav I have is the Giant Squid which is a 3.5mm ended mic, and does not accept the 48v phantom power (it would fry it). Yet it is louder and clearer by miles than the Comica. However, the Comica is in its own league with regards to low quality sound, as I have not seen another lav with the same specs. Just to give another XLR lav a try, I bought a Boya, which is much better than this, with a frequency going up to 18Khz. However to bring the point of quality home, it is still no where near the 3 other non-XLR products mentioned above in sound quality. As my production setup, I will be using the Zoom H1n plus lav for mobile setups and primary capture as it provides the best quality. For secondary and where I would like to monitor the sound, I will be using a lav, plus a RØDE VXLR+ mini jack to XLR phantom to plug in power converter, plus an XLR cable to a Behringer audio interface. While it would be nice, it seems that there are no XLR lavs available below the $100 range, and anything decent below that is dynamic, which makes for a completely different use case. Lastly, I realized that having XLR jacks isn’t necessarily an advantage, especially at the consumer level. In fact, it would be a distinct disadvantage as you would be tied only to PC linked audio interfaces, which doesn’t allow you to be mobile, or high end field recorders, which by the time you start using, will realize that mics like the Comica and Boya are completely substandard. Lesson learned: be careful to check specs, reviews, and sound samples before picking your products. I’ll be returning this if I can and sticking with alternative setups.
Original review:
From other reviews, I gather that this mic is top notch quality, and I have found no different (though I’m not an experienced pro, so I can’t really compare). The build quality is excellent. The clip is different from others that I have seen in that it is solid metal through and through. Even expensive models on known brands use plastic, so this is a very interesting, but in my opinion, awesome choice. I’ve heard no interference or artifacts. I love that they include a foam and fuzzy diffuser with the mic. Glad that I could skip paying for all of the minimum $100 brand name mics.

Ich vergebe volle 5 von 5 Sternen für das Comica Lavalier Mikrofon, CVM-V02O. Dieses Ansteckmikrofon hat meine Erwartungen in vielerlei Hinsicht übertroffen und war das beste XLR-Mikrofon, das ich bisher gefunden habe.
Die Klangqualität, die dieses Mikrofon liefert, ist herausragend. Es erfasst klaren und natürlichen Ton, der sich ideal für professionelle Audioaufnahmen eignet. Die Verarbeitung ist robust und langlebig, was für den Einsatz in verschiedenen Umgebungen von Vorteil ist.
Leider ist dieses großartige Lavalier-Mikrofon aufgrund einer Preiserhöhung nicht mehr so leicht erhältlich, wie es einmal war. Dennoch würde ich betonen, dass die Qualität dieses Mikrofons seinen Wert rechtfertigt, auch wenn der Preis gestiegen ist.
Insgesamt handelt es sich bei dem Comica Lavalier Mikrofon, CVM-V02O, um ein herausragendes XLR-Mikrofon, das seine herausragende Leistung unter Beweis stellt. Obwohl es möglicherweise nicht mehr so leicht zu finden ist, lohnt es sich dennoch, in dieses hochwertige Mikrofon zu investieren. Eine klare 5-Sterne-Bewertung für seine erstklassige Klangqualität und Verarbeitung
A few things to be aware of. One, this is an omnidirectional mic. It picks up sounds from all directions. Depending on your situation that may be desirable, because it reduces the sensitivity to position, and it really puts the listener "there," hearing everything that's going on in the scene. But omni can also be undesirable, because if there's intrusive background noise, the mic will pick that up just as well as the wearer's voice. The real pros keep both kinds of mics handy and switch between them as needed. For my own application I think I'd actually have been better off with a cardioid (moderately directional) mic; but I couldn't find one of those with the other features and the price I wanted, so I went for the omni. It's still good for my purposes, and for many users it'd be better than a cardioid anyway.
Also to be aware of: this microphone requires a full-size XLR connector with phantom power, and it has a six-foot cord. Pro and "pro-sumer" audio devices like my mixer provide those connections, as do many video cameras and portable digital recorders; but you're not going to be able to just plug this into an iPad or laptop computer or similar - not even with an XLR to TRS adapter, because of the requirement for phantom power.
The length of the cord means you also can't be moving around, or sitting at a distance from the recording device, unless you extend the cord. I've been told that Comica makes another model that is the same mic with a longer cord built in, but that you don't really want that because the amplifier is in the XLR plug, the cord between it and the actual microphone isn't shielded, and the long cord can pick up interference. Apparently, if you do want a longer distance between mic and recording device, you're really better off to get the six-foot version plus an XLR extension cord (which will be carrying the amplified signal on balanced wires, thus much less sensitive to interference). I haven't tested that myself. No electrical interference problems on mine, anyway.
The Comica lav mic has proven me wrong, you can get a professional sound out of a mic at this price range! I know that different mics suit different voice types, but it's worth noting that this one picks up a wide spectrum and captures my voice really well. With a bit of EQ and compression this mic sounds amazing. I have it connected directly to my Canon XA11 as the camera has built in XLR inputs and I now have great video and sound without having to mix the two in post.
I have a really nice condenser mic from Samson that I've been using from about a foot away when filming for Youtube, but it captures too much of the room and I'm now looking at ways to hide the Comica lav mic so I can switch to using this instead, it really does sound a lot more professional. I think if my Samson mic was up close it would probably just about beat the Comica for tonal clarity, but it's arguable considering I haven't had that much practice with positioning a lav mic. More to the point though the Samson is a condenser mic worth well over £100 and can't be used for interview style footage! If you're looking for professional sounding footage on a budget then I can highly recommend this for anyone trying to up their Youtube quality without breaking the bank.
The mic comes with a wind proof hood, which my missus was cooing over yesterday saying that it was "really cute" XD I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to be of good quality and I don't see why it would work any differently from any other brand, it's just a furry ball at the end of the day.
The only point of note; I wish I'd bought the longer version. The sitting distance from the camera makes the short version a bit of a stretch so bear this in mind when choosing the length of cable, aside from that I can't recommend it enough.
