DUDU7 external mic vs internal & ATT LTE support

Aegwyn11 internal Mic works well. One of the best in Android space.

I was wondering same thing about internal vs external microphone. Has anyone compared the quality of the external mic supplied with the dudu7 unit to the internal/built in mic? I installed mine with the external mic that came with the unit and would have to pull everything out to disconnect the external mic to compare (unless there is some setting somewhere to select which mic to use)? Was curious if they both work about the same or if one sounded better than the other. By "better" I mean the person you are talking to hears less noise from AC or wind, and overall better clarity of your voice.

From my experience the internal and external mic are similar microphones and both the quality is not too good. External mic tends to have better quality because it can be positioned closer to the driver/drivers mouth and further away from interference from speakers or air vents. I now use a Sony XA-MC10 external microphone and find it much much better than both internal mic and external mic provided with the Dudu 7

Totally agree. Internal and supplied external mic are both rather poor quality. I bought an Olympus ME52 external noise-cancelling mic and there is a big improvement.

Wass DUDU7 is a physical switch
The external MIC switches when it's plugged in.

ATT 4G LTE works okay in the US on the included modem. Personally I bought a usb one that supports 5g.

Hello!
The Olympus mic arrived today.
I plugged it into the mic jack and wanted to test it.
Unfortunately, the mic doesn't work. I tried it with Google Assistant. It doesn't recognize any voice, no matter how loudly I speak.

Cabrioman Maybe the mic jack is faulty or you received a defective mic. Try with another device, I am sure there must be a fault. Did you check the connectors are pushed firmly into place? In my case I just plugged the Olympus mic into the Dudu7 mic jack and it worked very well. I see that many other Dudu7 users have also had success with the Olympus mic.
