Thinking of purchasing a mic for improving your audio quality?
No matter for what purpose you are looking a good mic for I've created a list of the 5 best amongst hundreds of mics that are available in the market.
So, there are many types of mics available in different price ranges.
I will guide you with all the different types of mics available in these Price ranges-
Under 500 INR
Under 1,000 INR
Under 2,000 INR
So, let's begin with the best mics which are available under RS.500
If you are looking for a mic that costs you less than 300 RS. then I'll suggest you get yourself one from the offline market/Local shops.
Because mics at that price range listed on amazon/Flipkart are not that good and most of the time the mic you'll receive will be defective (not in usable condition).
So, it's better to go and test the mic yourself.
But still, if you want to purchase one online then you can go with-
Lapras Metal mic
This mic is available at 149 RS. on Amazon.in it is a Lavalier Microphone or often referred as collar mic.

Jbl Cslm 20 & 20B
JBL launched 2 mics, both mics are very similar to each other in terms of audio quality.
the only main difference is that JBL CSLM 20 has an earphone giving it an advantage if you want to use it for video calls. On the other hand, JBL CSLM 20B has a long cable, in other words, CSLM 20B is exactly the same as Boya BY M1 and I will suggest you not to buy JBL CSLM 20B as Boya BY M1 is available at a cheaper price.

BOYA by-MM1 Universal Shotgun Microphone.
So, this is a shotgun type microphone all the mics it told you earlier were Lavalier mics and needed to be applied on collar whereas shotgun-type mics gets attached to the camera/can be placed near the recording device (in-case of a smartphone or pc).
These types of mics are best for vlogging/if you don't like the mic sticked to your collar and moreover it is a hassle to make vlogs/videos in which you walk/move with a cable with you.
and there are different shotgun mics like Rode video micro, but it costs 3 Times more still the audio quality is just slightly better in most of the cases design is also very-very similar.
so, according to me Boya BY-MM1 is the best mic for anyone for any purpose under 2000 rs. as it's current price is 1,899.
Just like the Boya by-m1 the price of Boya By-MM1 also changes. The lowest price I've ever seen for this mic was 1,799 so you can wait if its price is more than 1,900 when you are going to Purchase.
You can buy this mic from amazon - https://amzn.to/3fznSIL
Boya By- M1 pro
Now again this is a Lavalier microphone and it is just and upgraded version of Boya-BY M1
It has a better build quality, better audio, Noice cancelation and has a headphone jack so that you can connect a headphone and use it in Video calls/use it for monitoring what you recorded without plugging out your mic.
Boya By- m1 pro is available at 1,891 for now and it is the lowest I've ever seen.
normally it is priced at 1,998/1,947.
It has got a 4-star rating from over 432 ratings/reviews
