Mine did not come with an external mic nor does it have a place you can connect an optional external mic. It does though have exceptional audio receive. I find the built-in mic has great quality.

Rueben,It comes with an external mike. The cord is pretty long, don't recall exactly but more than 6 ft.

It has a built in mic that isn't very good quality. It also has a combined headphone/mic jack for an external mic.

It does not come with an external microphone. Like most camcorders, it has a built-in microphone. But, there are a few external microphones for this camcorder model for sale on Amazon. Here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Canon-VIXIA-Camcorder-External-Microphone/dp/B00CDY5DMG/ref=sr_1_12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1407768189&sr=1-12&keywords=external+microphone+canon+vixia+hg20

It does not. There is a different connector for an external mic on the Nex 7.

It has its own built-in microphone. There is no need to plug in an external microphone.

They a little,i.e. fabric rubbing sounds and no option for an external mic. But it was acceptable to me however I returned it. It is very small and nice, but no external mic and the buttons area little difficult to use for the cost of the unit. High quality device and pretty good sound on internal speaker but headphones better. How this helps.

I don't l know much about the battery life, because I only use it plugged in. But I can say that it definitely does have a place to plug in an external mic.

Yes I'm pretty sure it has a microphone. I don't know how good it works I've never tried it. You could always hook a better Mic into the microphone jack

It has an external microphone with a long cord. I have mine mounted in the upper left corner of my windshield and it works really well.

No it doesn't, but it was able to purchase an external one very inexpensive from Amazon. This is a Christmas gift so I haven't tried it out yet

Yes it has an internal mic. These headphones are extremely breakable though.

If by "direct recording" you mean a plug for an external microphone, yes it does have one. Otherwise I don't understand what you mean by "direct recording"

No. It has separate mic and headphone jacks, it's meant for a computer rather than an ipad/iphone.

Yes. The mic for this headset has it's own audio jack, so simply leave it unplugged and plug in the external one instead.
