So, is the BOYA BY-M1 lavalier microphone a good purchase in 2020? Well, we are still not sure. We made our first with it and we are not that much impressed.

We will definitely give it a chance and use the BY-M1 mic extensively in the next couple of weeks.

The Test
Our initial sound recording test of the BOYA BY-M1 was made with a relatively new Android smartphone (Samsung). We intend to make another test, recording the audio on a high-quality voice recorder like the Olympus LS-P4.

So, here is what we manage to get out of this lav mic in our initial review:

 Product feedback
What we really liked about the BOYA BY-M1 is the plug-and-play capability of this device. We really didn't set up anything - just plugged it the smartphone through the 3.5 mm connector and it was recording with different apps, including the default smartphone camera app.

BOYA BY-M1 comes with this nice looking pouch where to store you mic when not in use

What we didn't like and mentioned in the video was the super-long cable. It really gets in the way most of the time and feels a bit heavy compared to other lav mics like the BOYA BY-LM10 which comes with much shorter cable.

That is it from our initial BY-M1 test. We will be sharing more details about this product's performance shortly.

The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.

AIWA RS-55 review: A retro pocket radio with a modern punch

By
AIWA RS-55 Review: Retro Style Meets Modern Sensitivity In an era dominated by digital streaming and smart speakers, there is a unique satisfaction in the tactile click of an analog dial. For my latest test, I went back to basics with the AIWA RS-55 AM/FM receiver . AIWA is a legendary Japanese brand, and with the RS-55, they’ve managed to capture a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing the build quality we expect today.
