About MicTests.com
This website provides a simple online mic test that allows you to check if microphone is working properly. Since it’s a browser microphone test, you don’t have to download or install any third-party software. Moreover, even if it may seem too simple, MicTests.Com will test your microphone regardless of its type or the device and operating system you are using. And to surprise you even more, this mic test will display a lot of useful information about your microphone (for example, its name, number of audio channels, latency, sample size and sample rate, as well as if it supports echo cancellation or noise suppression). In addition, if the tester will detect any problems with your microphone, you will receive tips on how to fix them.
Why do you need a mic test?
There are many reasons why people want to test their microphone. Here are just a few of them:
Have purchased or connected a new microphone and want to check if it works properly.
Want to check if headset microphone is enabled.
Verify if computer microphone doesn’t distort their voice.
Find if webcam has a built-in microphone.
Make sure that other applications can detect their microphones.
Want to admire the microphone visualizer.
Just out of curiosity.
How to test your mic?
Testing your microphone with our online tool is pretty simple: just wait until all your multimedia devices are detected and then click the “Test my mic” button. If this button doesn’t appear and you haven’t received any notifications, it’s likely that there’s been an error with your browser. To help you, please contact us at [email protected]
How is the microphone being tested?
First of all, it is determined if the browser supports functions for accessing multimedia devices. If so, a list of detected microphones and necessary controls are displayed.
When you click the “Test my mic” button, your browser will ask permission to start the microphone on this site.
Once access is granted, the microphone will start up and you will see the visualizer of sounds captured by your mic.
The tester starts to record your voice and any noise captured by your mic.
Now it’s time to determine supported features and make some some measurements.
Finally are displayed the testing results, hints and additional controls (including the playback).

Why do you have to leave a review?
Once the mic test is complete, you can leave a review about your microphone. This is not necessary, but we recommend that you do this to help others buy a good microphone and bypass the bad ones. Also, after your review is published, you will see how good your microphone is (i.e., you will find out how good it is in the best microphone rating).
System Requirements
To test the microphone, you only need a modern browser (unfortunately, Internet Explorer is not a such browser) that supports functions for accessing multimedia devices. As you have noticed, our microphone test tool does not require any additional software such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight or browser plug-ins. There are no restrictions on the type of device, so your microphone can be integrated (into headphones, mobile device, laptop), wireless (WiFi, bluetooth) or connected via cord (USB, TRL, XLR).

If your operating system or browser is not listed here, this does not mean that it is not supported. It just has not been tested yet. Therefore, feel free to check yourself.
Privacy
All operations required for testing are performed by the browser and all data is stored in the user’s device memory.
We do not store technical information until the user publishes a feedback about his microphone.
If the user does not publish a review, all data from the device memory is deleted when the page is closed.
Reviews are publicly available and contain only technical information about the microphones tested.
We never store audio recordings made with your microphone.
Disclaimer
Because the test results depend on various factors, it is impossible to guarantee an error-free algorithm. Nevertheless, we will constantly work on improving our testing tool and fixing the discovered errors. So if you find any errors or have any suggestions, please contact us at [email protected].

iPhone: Wi-Fi
Android: USB, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct
Choose appropriate transport you shall use.
Free Mic Audio Software
3.1.1 USB transport
We recommend USB transport whenever possible, as it is more robust than wireless connections. It also has lower latency and higher bit rate. To use USB connection, follow these:
Connect your phone and PC via an USB cable.
Enable USB debugging on Android phone.
On PC, install right USB driver for your phone. You may consult your vendor for that.
If all have been done well, your phone is identified as one USB device with name 'ADB Interface':
Press Windows + X and click Device Manager in the pop menu.
In Device Manager, go to Universal Serial Bus devices.
In the list, you are expected to find something like ADB Interface.
3.2 Configure and start server on phone
Launch WO Mic on phone. Before staring the server, you can go to Settings to configure what you prefer.
3.2.1 Transport option
Select the transport you would. Requirements for each transport:
USB transport. ADB Interface should be seen as described in 3.1.1; otherwise it will report no device can be detected.
Bluetooth. Pair your phone with computer if you haven't done that. Turn on Bluetooth on both phone and computer.
Wi-Fi. Turn on Wi-Fi on both phone and computer and connect them to same hotspot.
Wi-Fi Direct. Turn on SoftAP on phone and connect PC to this AP.
3.2.2 Control port option
This port number should be same as in client; otherwise, connection will fail. If no special reasons, don't change it.
Note media port can only be configured in client. It shall be synced to server when making connection.
3.2.3 Audio source option
There are 5 mic modes. Due to different Android phone hardware and OEM customization, not all modes may be supported on your phone. Even some are supported, they may not have same effect as described here. So please take below mode description as a hint and explore each mode on your phone to select appropriate one.
Default. Phone embedded microphone.
Mic mode 1. Try this if you want to use external wired headset.
Mic mode 2. Try this if there are echoes with other modes.
Mic mode 3. Try this if you will speak at a long distance or noisy environment.
Rear mic. Try this if you want to better capture sound from back.
3.2.4 Start server
Once all have been configured, go to main UI and press Start button to start server. If it prompts not enough permission, grant microphone or audio record permission to this app.
Once the state changes to Started or Connectable, the server is ready to accept connection request from client.
3.3 Connect from client
On Windows, follow these steps to connect:
Launch WO Mic client.
Select Connection ->Connect..
In connect dialog, select same transport type as you did on phone in 3.2.
In Details pane, specify auxiliary connection parameters:
Bluetooth. Select the phone Bluetooth name in the dropdown list.
USB. None.
Wi-Fi. Enter the IP address shown on server.
Wi-Fi Direct. Enter the IP address of SoftAP. Use the default if you don't know what it is.
Click Connect.
Once client shows to be connected, audio data captured by phone will be streamed to computer.
3.4 Verify streaming is going well
Before using WO Mic device, you may want first to verify audio is being streamed correctly from phone to PC. To do that, play received audio data directly:
Click Options menu in WO Mic client.
Enable Play in speaker.
Unmute PC speaker.
If everything goes well, you can hear sound captured by phone.
3.5 Use WO Mic device
Set WO Mic device as input for your game, recording, chat or any other applications.
Some applications may not allow you to select audio device. For that case, you can set WO Mic device to be default audio recording device in Windows settings.
3.6 Issues caused by anti-virus software
Some anti-virus or firewall software make wrong alarms about WO Mic client or driver. They might even delete related files or block network connection causing WO Mic to malfunction. If you meet those issues, please configure your computer to allow WO Mic to work.
Especially, if WO Mic used to work well and stops working suddenly, it's mostly caused by anti-virus software blocking. Some quick verifications:
Change control port from default 8125 to some other value (i.e. 40000) and connect again. Note: same value should be configured on phone app.
Re-install client program to some other folder (pretending to be different program) and connect again.
Warning: Never download and install WO Mic client and driver setup programs from untrusted sites. Download from this page(https://wolicheng.com/womic/Macbook system update. ) and check if downloaded file size matches the informed value.
