That’s not a microphone. THAT is a MICROPHONE

Audio recorders are available in all variations and even the wireless microphones from Rode, DJI or Hollyland now have an internal have an internal memory and can therefore also be used standalone. You can often see on YouTube how someone holds a small microphone in front of their nose. It always looks a bit ridiculous. The Yellowtec iXM microphone is different.
