BOYA Miniature Condenser Smartphone Microphone Review

BOYA BY-M110 Omnidirectional 3.5mm TRRS Microphone

If you record videos on your smartphone, wind noise can be a nuisance. I was looking for a small smartphone mic that is easy to use and carry. Then I came across the BOYA BY-M110 smartphone mic.

The BOYA BY-M110 smartphone mic is a miniature omnidirectional 3.5mm TRRS for smartphone. It can also be used with a laptop, tablet and anything else with TRRS connectivity.

Weighing only 0.3 Ounces, this tiny microphone won’t add any extra weight. BOYA provided one wind muff made of foam. This is OK, but won’t prevent wind noise on a windy day. I was able to attach an additional DeadCat windshield and it reduced wind noise significantly. 

Another feature I like is that it has a 180° Rotating Head, so you can change the direction of the mic according to your needs.

I paid about $30 CAD, which is not bad. I noticed on Amazon a very similar-looking mic, the BOYA A7H, selling for $8.95. I was not sure what the differences are and didn’t want to take a chance buying the cheaper one.

My phone has a 3.5mm audio input. Newer phones are getting rid of the 3.5mm input. If your phone only has a USB C, you need to buy a different version like the BOYA BY-M100UC ($39.95) or the BOYA BY-P4U ($32). Again, I was not quite sure what are the differences are between these two.

Overall, I am happy with the purchase. This is not a paid or affiliated review. I purchased it with my own money. I have a YouTube review of the BOYA BY-M110 omnidirectional 3.5mm TRRS Microphone.
