Q: The mic does not work!
A: Follow the video below to check if USB receiver is recognized by computer and if receiver and transmitter paired. If not, just follow the tutorial to change frequencies (from 2:50 to 3:07) and reset the whole system (from 3:10 to 4:00).
Q: Does K031/K031B wireless lapel mic work with phones?
A: Yes, it does. But you need a USB type A to type C or lightening adapter and we have confirmed that it works with: Samsung S and Note series of 7/8/9, iPhone 5-8, XS MAX, Sony Z series, Goolge Pixel 2 and Huawei Mate and P 20. If you are using model that is not listed above, as long as the released date of your phone is similar to those mentioned models, the mic should still work.
Q: Will this work with a Bluetooth speaker?
A: In order to give adequate sound, that Bluetooth speaker should be more than 25 watt you can find a power bank to supply power for receiver and an audio cable to connect USB receiver with speaker.
Q: What can I do to increase volume?
A: 1.Turn up the level of input and output to around 80% on computer.
Windows: Go to control panel→Sound setting→Recording Device→right click “USB PnP Device”→Properties→Levels. Same goes for output volume on "Playback Devices".
Mac: System Preferences→Sound→Input/Output→Input Volume/Output Volume
2.Do have to aim the mic toward the mouth, seating it approximately 9 inches below. When using head-worn, you may need to take off the foam cap to check if the capsule is pointed directly to your mouth.
3.If it is possible, please try the speaker that has over 25 watt power.

I can’t get my new K031 to work with my iPhone X using an Apple USB to lightening adapter. I have tried the built in Camera app, the voice memo app or YouTube app. With usb receiver install, the only audio picked up is through the phone microphone. I have reset the transmitter and using fresh batteries.
During long videos, sometimes lapel mic pick-up is good, sometimes it becomes crackly, garbled and unintelligible, even occasionally not working at all. Mic has been used fewer than 10 times. Batteries are fresh. Could there be a bad wire in the cable that, when moved a certain way, is disconnecting the sound?
Hi @Lisa Ryan, first of all, please check if the option of “automatically adjust the volume” was ticked under audio of Zoom setting. In your case it sounds very likely that Zoom does the volume adjustment for you without notification.
If it still doesn’t help, please refer to the method of “Sharing Screen and Audio” and “Sharing iOS Device’s Screen and Audio on Computer via AirPlay” from the article below. And see if any one of the method fix the problem.

I am also a fitness instructor and bought this mic to use with Zoom. I have a Dell laptop. I need to use the mic and play my music on iTunes at the same time. I am sharing sound through computer on Zoom. If no music is playing, the mic is perfect. If iTunes is playing, the mic volume is very low. In Zoom, I have the mic volume up all the way. On my laptop, the mic is selected as my Input device and the volume is 100%. Am I setting this up correctly? Is this the loudest the volume can be?
Hi @Louise since you mentioned the mic is able to work, then you should see the level meter under input or your Mac sound preference responding when you speak to the mic.
A bit more info we would want to know. Was it the USB receiver where you plugged in headset? And what kind of software that you use when doing the test? Was the output on software set properly as well?
