This connects and works right away with Windows (also via USB-A adapter), Linux, and on an Android phone with a USB-C socket. The gain is not very high, and the maximum SPL is quite low. The microphone mounts only up or down on the clip (not sideways or tilted out), but the barrel diameter isn't listed, so you need to measure if another clip will fit. Good cord length, compact size, windscreen... For the price, it has a good enough frequency range, noise floor, and flatness for speech or not-too-loud instrument practice. This is a significant aural upgrade from a built-in device microphone and much more convenient than a broadcast mic for recording while moving, providing good camera framing, or impromptu recording.
