This little capsule is a powerhouse compared to what I paid for my Blue mic for iPod. I can't tell the differences in sound, but I can tell the differences in convenience. As soon as I plug in the little thing my iPod immediately goes to the proper folder waiting for me to click Record... my Blue makes me find the folder, so it's definitely not as quick to use. There's no external volume control but it seems to automatically adjust for most quiet and loud sounds even if I leave my iPod's internal volume control set to its highest setting. And it's easy to pop it out and pop in my earbuds to check what I've recorded. Now I don't even check because I know what's there and I know it's more than just a "satisfactory" recording. Oh, and I use mine on an iPod Classic 120GB. There's a little loop for a neck string on the little critter's cap so I have mine tied to my iPod's leather case for quick access... I have to take my iPod out of the case to use the Blue mic, which is an inconvenience. Enjoy.

I bought this mic for my iPod Touch 3rd generation, it plain rocks! It's indeed a bit small but I bought a separate extension cable (a sort of male to female microphone extender cable) that helps me plug both ends when I'm not using it (that way I won't drop it and lose it). It is very sensitive and works great with the included Voice Memos recording app. I bought the iTalk app but ended up not using it due to the fact that it requires a wireless connection to transfer the recordings. iTalk is amazing if you don't mind that limitation. Voice Memos lets me transfer my recorded files through iTunes (on a regular DSL cable home network), so, both are recommended depending on how you plan to pitch the files out from your device.

I was looking for something to record class lectures with and though I was skeptical it would work, I thought for 2 bucks.. let's give it ta try. The ONLY way this would successfully record lectures is if I had the instructor hold my ipod the entire time. I tested it with a coworker speaking in a normal voice 6 feet away, it did not pick up the sound of her voice. So if you're looking for something to take voice notes of yourself or can have your ipod with the speaker.. this might work for you. If not, you might want to pop for a mic with more range.

Product was cheap and delivered fast. It does what I want when I use my ipod as a voip phone. I hate the earphone mic. This stays much more like a convential mic and I use the external speaker. It does pick up background noise , so a quiet area is needed, but it does exactly what I want and need.

i was a bit skeptic about it but it was relatively cheap so I thought i would give it a try and it works - highly recommend it

This item does not work on lap tops or tape recorders. It will actually mute the sound. Not worth it.

worked like should even had protection cover use with ipod touch 4g for reminders and notes mic worked great

no cons

I bought three of these: one for myself, one for my boyfriend, and one for my brother. My boyfriend and I both have 160GB iPod Classics. My brother has a Third Generation iPod Nano. I've tested all three of the microphones with my iPod, and they all work surprisingly well. The Voice Memo folder appears right after I plug them in, and (although the range is not terrific, and the recordings aren't super high quality), it records very easily and effectively.
I anticipate they will work as well with my boyfriend's iPod, which is identical to mine, but I haven't yet given my brother his microphone. I'm hoping it will be compatible with his Nano.
Overall, I am quite satisfied with this product, and extremely happy with the value!

worked, but didnt do what i wanted it to, because I, < me > didnt think it through all the way. Its a wonderful mic none the less. Tho i was able to Rig something together so it did work..

this little micohphone is a great buy i purchase it twice in case i losted one and worth more tha they wanted for it but price great
