Best microphone for your cell phone (iPhone & Android)

In today's world, cell phones are indispensable. Nowadays, they are no longer just used for WhatsApp and other messaging apps, but many people also use their cell phones to record videos and create content for Instagram and TikTok. When shooting videos, it's especially important that the sound is clear, distinct, and high-quality, which is why an external microphone for your cell phone is a useful addition.
We'd like to show you why a phone microphone can be an important purchase for the quality of your content, what to look for when choosing a cell phone microphone, and which is the best microphone for iPhone and Android.

Why you need an external microphone for your smartphone

First of all, the question arises as to why an external microphone is needed for a cell phone at all, when the cell phone already has a built-in microphone. The built-in phone microphones are primarily intended for recording voice messages or short videos for private use. This means that internal cell phone microphones are not designed to deliver the professional sound quality that is sometimes expected on social media. For example, they pick up a lot of ambient noise, sound flat and sometimes tinny, and are not optimally positioned when you are recording a video. For professional sound quality, an external microphone for your cell phone is therefore a sensible choice.

Advantages of external phone microphones

An external microphone for an Android phone or iPhone has numerous advantages:

  • - Lavalier microphones (also known as lapel microphones) have a clear and natural sound.
  • - They have built-in noise cancellation that filters out ambient noise.
  • - For maximum freedom of movement, most microphones for cell phones do not require a cable connection.
  • - Cell phone microphones have a compact design that fits well with a mobile setup.

Important features to consider before buying

Before you decide on the best microphone for iPhone or the best microphone for an Android cell phone, there are a few important features you should be aware of:
- Connectivity: Pay attention to how the microphone connects to your smartphone. Do you need a cable, or is the connection wireless, as with DJI microphones?
- Audio quality: How good is the microphone's audio quality? Does it offer noise cancellation? For optimal sound, any distracting background noise should be minimized without adding hiss.
- Portability and design: What does the microphone look like? Is it easy to transport and not too heavy? You should answer all these questions in advance, as a microphone for a cell phone should be compact and lightweight so that it can be easily attached to clothing. In addition, the charging case should be easy to carry.
- Battery life: Finally, battery life is important. If you have longer video shoots, you should make sure that the cell phone microphone has a long battery life (12+ hours).

How to connect a microphone to your smartphone

There are two ways to connect the microphone for Android phones or iPhones to your smartphone.

Setting up a wired connection

First, there are phone microphones that connect to your phone with a cable. All you have to do is plug it in and you're ready to start recording.

Pairing via wireless and Bluetooth

The other option is pairing via wireless and Bluetooth, which microphones from DJI are equipped with. To do this, plug the receiver into your smartphone and the phone and microphone will connect.

Tips for improving audio recording on mobile phones

Here are a few tips to ensure that your audio recordings are always of high quality:
1. Microphone placement: The microphone should be about 15–20 cm away from your mouth, for example on your collar or chest.
2. Setting up the recording environment: You should choose a quiet room for recording to reduce background noise as much as possible.
3. Apps for improving sound quality: With the right app for your microphone, you can adjust and improve the sound quality in a very specific way.

Microphones for special applications

A microphone for your cell phone can be useful for special applications.
For vlogging and YouTube: With the best microphone for iPhone or Android, you can record perfect vlogging videos directly with your cell phone, whether they are needed for long-form content on YouTube or short-form content on Instagram and TikTok.
For online classes and meetings: A microphone for your cell phone is also suitable for online classes and meetings, especially if your laptop's internal microphone does not perform satisfactorily.
For music and podcast recordings: Finally, lavalier microphones can even be used for podcast recordings or to record music.

Care tips for mobile microphones

To enjoy your mobile phone microphone for a long time, you should take proper care of it:
Cleaning and storage: Your microphone should always be stored in its charging case or a protective cover to prevent damage.:
Common problems and troubleshooting:
- No sound: Check that the phone microphone on your smartphone is enabled as an input device.:
- Connection problems: Recharge the transmitter and receiver and make sure they are properly paired.:
- Noise: If there is too much noise in the sound, use the included windshield, especially when recording outdoors.

FAQs

Is an external microphone better than the built-in smartphone microphone?

Yes, significantly better. External microphones for cell phones, such as the DJI Mic 3, deliver clear, noise-free, professional sound that is significantly better than that of the built-in microphone of the cell phone.

Do wireless microphones work with both Android and iPhone?

Yes, modern wireless microphones, such as the DJI Mic Mini, are compatible with both operating systems. Depending on the microphone, a separate adapter may need to be purchased for the lavalier microphone.

Can microphones for mobile phones also be used for live streaming and video calls?

Yes, of course. External microphones for mobile phones are ideal for live streams or video calls via video meeting platforms and ensure clear sound.

How do I check if a microphone is compatible with my smartphone?

First, check which connector your smartphone has (USB-C or Lightning). Then check whether the microphone comes with the appropriate adapter or whether you need to purchase it separately. You don't usually need to worry about app compatibility, as recording apps such as those from DJI are designed for both Android and iPhone and will automatically recognize the microphone.

Do I need an adapter to connect external microphones?

That depends on the type of cell phone microphone and your smartphone. If you buy a wireless lavalier microphone and have a USB-C port, you don't need an additional adapter. With a Lightning port, you often have to purchase an adapter separately.
