Outdated Product
An affordable omnidirectional lavalier microphone with a wired connection and a simple clip for quick attachment to clothing. It is marketed by the manufacturer as a basic 2015 model. Targeted at a wide range of budget-conscious users requiring a low-cost microphone for mobile voice recording. It connects via a 1.8-meter cable with a 3-pin mini-Jack 3.5mm TRS plug. Operates smoothly without the need for additional software installation. Compatible with DSLR cameras, recorders, PCs, and laptops (Windows, macOS), as well as smartphones and tablets, although models without an analog interface jack will need an adapter, purchased separately. The REAL-EL MC-10 microphone provides a basic level of voice capture quality, less than studio-grade microphones. However, its capabilities are sufficient...for solving most tasks of beginning content creators, including recording sound for videos uploaded to video hosting sites like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and more, creating vlogs, recording interviews, podcasts, online lessons, and presentations. Suitable for bloggers, journalists, teachers, and office workers. The moderate sensitivity does not require the user to speak too loudly or position the microphone too close to the mouth. It effectively picks up speech at a comfortable distance (for example, from a shirt collar), ensuring a stable signal level for the conversation partner or recording program.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The REAL-EL MC-10 is a budget-friendly lapel microphone that offers a convenient format for online communication. While it is praised for its affordable price, users have mixed experiences with its performance. Some find it suitable for occasional calls on platforms like Telegram, Skype, or Discord, but note that the recording quality is weak and may require adjustments, such as microphone boost and noise suppression, to function properly. Initial connection issues were reported, requiring driver updates and system restarts. Despite these challenges, others have used it for years without complaints about quality, suggesting it may suffice for basic needs but might not be ideal for daily use or professional purposes.

Cons

normal model, nothing special

The voice recording quality is weak, but it's suitable for occasional calls on Telegram/Skype/Discord. When I first connected it to the computer, it didn't work at all. I had to tinker with the settings: set the microphone boost to +20% and enable noise suppression. But it didn't really help. I unplugged it, plugged it back in, tapped on it, downloaded an earlier version of Realtek drivers, installed them, restarted the computer, and only then did it miraculously start recording sound properly. If you plan to use it daily, it's better to invest in a more expensive and higher-quality model.
