A lavalier microphone clips onto your shirt and sends sound straight to the phone, so speech does not get lost in room echo. Sets differ above all in the receiver's connector – some plug into a USB-C port, others into Lightning – and some boxes hold two transmitters, for when you are recording two people at once.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between active noise cancelling and passive isolation?
Passive isolation is just the shape of the headphone: in-ear tips or over-ear pads physically block sound. Active noise cancelling (ANC) also listens to your surroundings through microphones and generates an opposing wave, so it works best on steady drone — a plane, a bus, ventilation. ANC does very little against sudden sounds such as speech.
How long do wireless earbuds really last on one charge?
In-ear buds usually play for 4–8 hours, and the case adds another two to four full charges. Over-ear headphones last 20–40 hours. High volume, ANC and cold weather all cut into that — in winter expect roughly a fifth less.
Can I use one pair with both my phone and my computer?
Yes, if the headphones support multipoint: they stay connected to two devices at once and switch by themselves when a call starts on the computer. Without multipoint you have to disconnect one device manually every time.
