This is a small mic that fits in the earphone socket of an iPod. (Mine's an iPod Classic). It comes with an overcap that makes it look rather like a bean when closed. When you pull it open you'll see a triple ringed connector that just pops in to the earphone socket.
For the iPhone 3G & iPod Touch you'll need to install additional software, such as iTalk Recorder or Easy Recorder, to use this item. For the iPod Nano & iPod Classic there's pre-loaded software on the units, so you're ready to use this straight away.
Once you put the mic in the iPod, a new menu item appears called "Voice Memos". In there you've a choice of High or Low quality recordings. Just click and start the recording. It'll save the recording as a .WAV file to the iPod. You can make iTunes automatically copy these voice memos to a playlist called "Voice Memos". Pretty simple.
The quality of the recordings are quite good. I tried from a few distances (1, 3 & 6 feet away) and it seemed fine for dictaphone use and even recording a guitar & vocals.
I don't know about how much battery life it drains, as I've not used it for that long as yet. However, as it plugs into the earphone connector, I assume you can plug a charger in to the dock connector at the same time to charge the battery as it runs - which you can't do with a mic that connects to the dock connector. If that works it's a good feature of the unit.
I also like how compact this unit is. It fits on the little bag I've got for my earphones and is very discrete when plugged into the unit. |
 Excellent Little Mic! |

I own an Ipod touch and wanted to use some of the audio features and apps that an Iphone can use because it already has a microphone. I seemed to recieve this product quickly and undamaged.
For its size I think it is an excellent piece of kit! It is smart and compact like a little black bean so it stays protected and seems to fit into my ipod well without it being loose or faulty. I have had it for a few weeks now and I am very please with it!
Its very sensetive for a mic that is so small and this means it is good for recording things that at a distance however if you are recording loud noises you may find it become distorted. However at a reasonable volume volume the recording quality I would say is very good! It fits neatly into the headphone socket and does exactly what it says and I would recommend this for anyone looking for a cheap and easy solution for turning and ipod or iphone into a audio recorder! |
A Great Bargain !

when I purchased the update 3.0 for my Ipod Touch the voice recording wasn't a thing that appealed to me very much - plugging a mic. into it - but when I saw this I thought otherwise.
It is very good and picks up voice well with a good range, I also like how I can use it for other apps like shazam.
I would highly recommend it to anyone! |
