In the testing I've done with these mics, they deliver very crisp and clear audio with some noise cancellation. I recorded some conversation while traveling recently, and the people wearing the mics were picked up extremely well despite road noise (which was not picked up), and anyone not wearing the mic was not quite eliminated, but almost nonexistent.
This was plug and play, so on an iPhone 15 I just plugged the USB-C adaptor in, went to the camera, and began recording video. The silver button on the front will mute an individual mic, and cause the light to go red when pressed. Simply press again to un-mute.
From the case to the adaptors, the build quality of each item feel premium and not plasticy. If I had to point out any negative, I do wish these had a stereo 3.5mm jack to turn these into more universal mics that could be used with camera inputs, howeverthis was not advertised as a feature so at the price point they seem very well done all around.

I use microphones like these in my videos for YouTube. On my smartphone, I have a "VU" meter, so that I can tell I am actually recording sound, and how powerful the signal is.
On these Boya microphones, the "power" of the signal strength is not as strong as I prefer, but the audio is very clear, and I have a one button fix for that in Post Production to equalize the audio track. As long as the microphone is recording CLEAN, CRISP, CLEAR sound? I can fix a low volume without introducing any additional noise.
But the signal strength indication on my smartphone is a tad lower than my comfort level, but because I rate them at around a 4.5 or better, I rounded up to a five, they are excellent microphones.
Oh, an that silver spot in the center? That's the MUTE button, the light flashes red whilst in mute mode. Boya mics have been good for a decent number of the videos I have made.
That is another reason why I give them five stars here... the sound is indeed good, just slightly lower of a strong signal than I prefer.
Five Stars.
