I also want to know any external microphone will work on XZ. Local store said those 3.5mm TRRS output microphone will work on other key brand but not on Sony.

Hi @Yimmin & @kjpower, welcome to the community.

The STM10, as far as I am aware works for all devices Z2 and up, including the X range.

I can't seem to find the Sony STM-10 for sale anywhere nor can i find it on this site. are there any other external mics that will work with the XZ premium cell phone? I am considering purchasing an XZ premium do not not like the audio recording quality of the built in mic. what are my options?

I have the Xperia XZ premium, and I purchased a Bower XAS lav mic with a trs to trss adapter. I will be field testing it using a free voice recorder app for levels and gain control.

The mic will be clipped to my shirt as centered to my neck as possible, with a foam windsock on for handling noise reduction.
