SONICPRESENCE SP15C (USB-C) Stereo Microphone - New Binaural ASMR Technology Powered by Spatial Audio, Great for Podcasts, Recording Live Concerts, Band Practice, Sound for Video

My first impression with this mike are great. It sounds really good on everything I have used it for so far, and the binaural recording is a lot of fun and very effective. Highly recommended if you want to do some binaural recording for a budget. My only gripes with it are that the build quality is not that great, the small plastic disk holding the electronics doesn't seem to have very well fitted cut-outs and managed to pop open when I was using it at one point. Also it can be a little tricky to keep the mics nicely in position over the ears, I with there was a little more stiffness in the section that wraps over the ears so that they could be made to stay in place a little better.

Es gibt einige Binaurale Mikrofone auf dem Markt: von günstigen Modellen (Roland Cs) über relativ Preiswerte: Soundman (Berlin) bis hin zu DPA oder Neumann. Mein Einsatzzweck: Klassiche Musik in Kirchenräumen. Für mich kamen DPA (Aufwand) und Neumann(Preis) bisher nicht in Frage. Ein von mir gebauter Selbstbau (Neumann KM in einem Plastikkopf versenkt) waren toll im Klang, aber das war eine optische Beleidigung für alle Zuschauer. Roland hat gerauscht, ebenso Soundman (wirklich keine gute Qualität). Sonic Présence ist nun zwar etwas teuer, bietet aber mit dem beigelegten Audiointerface und einem IPhone- wirklich tolles Material. Ganz erstaunlich - und definitiv geeignet für Insta oder Youtubevideos. Die aufnehmende Person sollte halt nicht husten :)…

I'm 66 and have been completely blind for 56 years. For a long time, I've been looking for an easy-to-use binaural microphone that can be easily connected to a current iPhone model. The SP15C from Sonic Presence does just that. The microphones, one for each ear, hang comfortably in front of the ear canals when worn. This ensures that all ambient noise remains clearly audible, even during recording. The included USB-C to USB-C cable allows for a completely uncomplicated connection to the iPhone's universal port. Both the iPhone's built-in tools and various external apps like BackPack Studio can be used as a recorder. The recordings created this way are simply unbelievably realistic. You feel like you're reliving everything you've just recorded. For listening, I recommend good on-ear headphones like those from Shokz. The guys at Sonic Presence have really done a fantastic job here. I'm happy to give the SP15C five out of five stars.

I create walking tour videos and was really excited to use these microphones to capture the beautiful sounds of my walks. They worked great for about a week, but then the right microphone started to short out. At first, I could fix the issue by slightly moving the cord at the base of the unit, but after about five weeks, they became unusable. Now, all I get is static on one side, which is frustrating. I lost multiple hours of footage because I didn’t notice the issue until I was home and rendering my videos. If the microphones had worked properly, I would have given them five stars. However, with the cable constantly shorting out and the right side producing static, I have to give them a one.

Stronger bass and cleaner dialogues Vs my built in iPhone 15 pro max microphones. It does pick up all sounds including enhance by the ambient sound. My main use is concert recording and this seems to capture the bass better than other external mics. I would use a third party app like black magic to reduce the gain otherwise it might be too loud. I compared against a shotgun mic but those products appear to be good for dialogue and not music. I even tried a more expensive stereo usbc shotgun style mic and the stereo and full bass recording on this is much cleaner. My only criticism is the microphone does look and feel cheap…but it seems to work really well for its intended use and I can’t really find a better alternative. It’s also more covert that it wears along the ears rather than an awkward looking shotgun mic at concerts.
