Can these be plugged into any 1/8" audio jack or must there be some kind of phantom power running to them? How about using with GoPro?

As these are condenser mics, you'll need phantom power. My Zoom H4n recorder's "Battery" setting had to be turned on before I could record. I don't know if a GoPro has a setting like that or not. The headphone connection of course just needs to be connected to your audio source (output). BTW, these are great mics/headphones.

You'll definitely need 2-10v power, but the binaural capabilities of the mic are worth it. Most handheld recorders have this, but I believe a GoPro will require an external power supply for the mic. You can adapt this project, for instance: http://m.instructables.com/id/Condenser-Microphone-Power-Supply/ OR get yourself a $100 used zoom or Olympus and record MUCH better sound for syncing later.

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.

Mics do not require phantom power. Mine have worked well in meeting settings.

no, they don't require phantom power. P.S. DON'T purchase these mics if you want to use them more than once. you definitely get what you pay for. I bought 8 and EVERY ONE broke by the end of a 12 performance show. the wiring is so flimsy, that any little thing will tear them apart. VERY CHEAP!

You cannot use a power cord at the same time as this adapter uses the usb port on the gopro. That's how it works on my gopro hero 3 black edition anyway. Hope this helps!

Yes - by using an external microphone adapter cable. The cable plugs into the GoPro 3's USB port, and provides a 3.5 mm microphone jack. It can be purchased from GoPro here: http://gopro.com/camera-accessories/3-5mm-mic-adapter

Very good question, but I have no idea if is compatible with the GoPro Hero 4

You don't need this for the older GoPro cameras. The older ones have a 3.5mm jack on the side specifically for a mic.

These will work with ANY audio device that has an audio output jack. The only thing you MIGHT need is a 1/4" adapter for the plug, depending on what you're using it with. It comes with a 1/8" stereo plug.

I looked at the specs for the Gopro Hero3+ and it has a micro hdmi port. So this cord isn't going to help you. You will need to get a micro hdmi to hdmi cable.

They're wired via a 2 3.5mm audio 'jacks' (one for mic and one for headphones), so technically powered by the audio source (be it a mp3 player if audio only or the PC they're connected to etc)

Yes, It will work, but you would be very limited as far as shooting goes. You would need a : "GoPro 3.5mm Mic Adapter," a "3.5mm male to xlr female," a "Phantom power supply," and a "Xlr male to female cord."

you would have to get an adapter from 1/8' (3.5mm) jack to XLR but that SHOULD work

I can't guarantee it as I'm not familiar with gopro, but the mini mic plugs into a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. This mic isn't waterproof and depending on where you'll plug it in, it could snap off at the jack if bumped hard enough. It does come with an extension cord and clip for attaching to a shirt collar.

If you use the 1/8" (like the headphone)conector to plug in your recorder you wont be able to make it work because you need a cable converter from 1/8" male stereo plug to dual xlr male conector

They are not made to accept battery's. You would have to use an external battery pack with an equal amp rating as the power supply output.

You need a microphone with power, a battery, because I think that camcorder doesn't provide the necessary power. Google phantom power.
