When you need reliable audio, this is the way. This replaced a RodeLink Filmmaker system I was using which is like the grandfather to this new set. Was getting too many dropouts during important moments and the range is now doubled plus backup internal recording even if there are dropouts. It's also super compact and I don't have to carry a separate case for my audio kit, now it just goes into my camera bag. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Saramonic Vmic Mini is an extremely compact and lightweight mini-shotgun microphone that mounts directly to DSLR, mirrorless, and video cameras and enables you to easily capture broadcast-quality sound. It can also be connected to smartphones and tablets with an included cable and dramatically improves the sound quality of your mobile productions. . . The all metal construction and precision cut body of this microphone is a work of art. The size makes it ideal for use with small format DSLR, Mirrorless and video cameras as well as smaller mobile devices. Its ultra-compact size allows the mic to be placed in areas that larger shogun mics just won’t fit.. . Using the Vmic Mini is incredibly simple. You just plug it in and you’re done. There are no batteries to install or charge, and there are no buttons or switches to operate. It’s truly plug-and-play. A great choice for anyone creating video content on a budget but looking for high-quality gear. Vmic Mini is a lightweight and ultraportable shotgun microphone that will give all of your videos excellent sound.. . A stand out feature of the Vmic Mini design is the unique microphone shockmount. The wiry shockmounts on some competing microphones are flimsy and prone to bending, this can cause some unwanted audio issues and change the way the microphone picks up sound. The integrated shockmount of Vmic Mini is robust and features a sleek, sweeping and stable design. . . An advanced uniquely designed bullet like windscreen is included, giving the Vmic Mini its unique and interesting look. It features a sturdy gasket which aids in blocking wind noise, helps to protect the microphone from things like weather and dust, and keeps it securely fastened in place while on the go.. . Every aspect of the Vmic Mini’s design is top notch, and the built-in locking camera shoe features a metal 1/4 20 tripod thread at the base that gives you near limitless mounting options. Two output cables are included: one that connects to cameras, and another that connects to the headphone jack of smartphones and tablets. Whether you’re shooting with a powerful DSLR, mirrorless, video cam, tablet or a smartphone, the Vmic Mini is a compact and ultraportable shotgun microphone that will give all of your videos excellent sound. .

Needed a compact and inexpensive mic that could run on plug in power for my secondary camera, this works well. Was previously using an older Rode VideoMic Pro but got tired of using 9V batteries. A nice surprise was the included fuzzy windscreen that can go over the foam windscreen when using in high winds.

I'm pretty new to the Thunderbolt only MacBook Pro, but quickly decided using USB to Thunderbolt adapters is no fun. This is a much more conveinent method of connecting various accessories to a MacBook Pro and the included SD card reader is a bonus. The SD card reader is decent but not as fast as my Sony XQD/SD dedicated reader when connected to the Ultra Drive, so I'd probably only use it in a pinch. You have to insert the SD card upside down and it sticks out awkwardly as well. Overall, a must have accessory for the MacBook Pro.

These are the older version of the type 4 cables, yet you're asking the price of the new type 4 cables? These should be discounted because even the newer version can be found online cheaper.

These sound really nice and overall I'm satisfied with them but there are a few additions I'd like. 1 - Better connection options - a pair of 3.5mm inputs are about the most low end you can get, how about some digital options or even bluetooth? I'd pay a little more for better inputs. 2 - Some bass/treble controls - I know these have built in optimization but some manual options would be nice, thankfully I have them plugged into a DAC with EQ so I can tweak as needed. They sound better with some space behind them, away from the wall a bit or they can get boomy. It's great not having a sub taking up floor space, the bass is more than ample for my needs, I actually dialed it down a bit in my DAC's EQ.

Do these Bose speakers have a built in amplifier, and can u bypass the computer sound card?

They have built in amplification but no digital inputs, so you would need an external DAC to bypass a computer sound card.
