Synco Lav S6Mchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

The S6M's headphone monitoring jack and rechargeable battery set it apart from its cheaper sibling. Commenters comparing the S6M to the older Synco S6 point out that the S6M adds a real-time audio monitoring port and a rechargeable battery, while the S6 relies on a LR44 battery that needs replacing every few weeks. One buyer said this alone made the S6M worth the extra roughly £3 over the S6, since you save on ongoing battery costs. Another asked directly whether they'd need the S6M instead of the S6 just for headphone monitoring capability, confirming this is the key differentiator buyers weigh.

Viewers consistently say the S6M sounds noticeably better than a wired Rode lavalier. In head-to-head listening, one commenter called the mic 'plug and play, with a great audio compared to the rode lav,' and was already sold on switching setups. Others simply stated the Synco sounds better after watching a comparison video, with one saying they would choose Synco lavaliers going forward after hearing the results. A reviewer noted they could genuinely hear a difference between the compared clips, reinforcing that the perceived sound quality gain is real, not just marketing hype.

Some buyers worry review units may outperform what regular customers actually receive. One commenter voiced skepticism that Synco carefully selects or tunes the microphones given to YouTubers for reviews, suggesting a normal retail customer 'may or may not get a good one.' Separately, another commenter noted the mics can feel 'a little expensive' for some budgets. On the plus side, a viewer appreciated that the package includes a spare tie clip, since the clip is typically the first part of a lav mic to break with regular use.
