Next, the cons: My mic served me well when for no reason (after 1.5 years), it stopped recording my voice and instead recorded loud static whenever I spoke. Tinkering with the device didn’t solve the problem. I was happy with prior results, so I just bought another one. The other ‘con’ really isn’t a con at all just a matter of preference: the cable is very long (about 20 feet) so if you are speaking publicly and have an attached recording device on your person, there will be a bundle of wires somewhere.
Last, a few pointers: (1) There is no way to know if the mic is off or on other than checking the switch on the battery module. Before you put your mic away be sure that the power is off less you drain your battery. (2) The mic can use two different types of batteries: 357/303 (Silver oxide) or the LR44 (alkaline). Basically, go with the 357/303 because they last longer and provide more continuous voltage (so your audio sounds don’t drop off). Yes, they are more pricey but as far as I can hear, they do yield a slight uptick in audio quality. (3) The windscreen falls off easily. Consider having a few extra handy.
Original Review:
I used this today to record interviews on the street. It was hooked to a Nexus 6P phone, and recording was done with the pro/paid version of Voice Recorder v. 3.2.2 by skyroapp. I was using mostly-default settings in the software except for manual gain of +13 dB because otherwise the volume during playback was too low. I had the mic clipped to my shirt per the instructions, about 6" below my chin.
I purposely left the mic on before the interviews started. This included some chatting in the shop, walking to the vehicle with the cameraman, driving to location. The mic was intended as a test since we had a Rode mic attached to our camera cage.
The sound quality was very good. My voice was super crisp and clear. There was virtually no car noise, no wind noise, and you could barely hear other people talking. During the ride in the car, and when interviewing people, they were largely muted, which is perfect! You could use this mic in a loud environment and get very good audio to sync to a video or make an audio recording. You'd need one mic per person, as usual.
I wanted to get the Rode lapel mic because of the brand name and generally-good quality of their products. This Audio-Technica ATR3350 is great and a quarter of the price or so. I can't compare it to the Rode but I can compare it to inexpensive wireless lapel setups we have used in the past. The Audio-Technica sound is more rich, and less tinny-sounding, than the cheaper mics.
I don't think you can go wrong with this mic, regardless of price.
The worst part is that this is a known issue and is mentioned in other reviews, yet Audio Technica has yet to fix it, opting instead to just keep keep selling this crap. This is particularly sad, because it just hurts their brand. I guess they lost pride in their name or something and just don't care anymore? I don't know. All I know is that I'm not going to buy anymore of these things, and I won't recommend them either, because in my personal and professional opinion, after four bad mics, I think they are junk. The real irony? The only one that still works is the old mono ATR3350, and it's over ten years old! I think that says a lot about how far downhill the ATR3350 series has gone. Shame on you, Audio Technica!
BTW, my son purchased an AT2005USB mic for his podcast studio last year, and he's ditching it for a couple of the new Rode PodMics. We're done with Audio Technica.

My only issue with this mic is the extra long cable. If you are planning on recording your audio straight into the mic port on your camera, then this would enable you to get some distance away, but for me I find it a pain to store/untangle, and as I am putting the recorder in my pocket, the cable has to trail down my leg and on to the floor. Other than that, a cracking little mic!
My only minor criticisms are;
1) The mic won't work without a LR44 / AG13 battery. You can buy these from most pound shops (Or Amazon)
2) It is too easy to leave the microphone on, when not in use, which will drain the battery. (A little led would have been a good addition to this mic)
3) The 6 meter cable can get in the way (I wrap the excess cable around the tripod head)
4) The wind guard is a bit weak (You might want to put this mic under clothes to avoid wind)
...these points fall by the wayside if you are careful and take care of the mic. (Besides it's very cheap to replace)
I have used some much dearer microphones from Rode / Smartmyk / Sony / Nikon in a price vs quality test this mic would win hands down.
other than that it's a great mic, sound is crystal clear and combined with a zoom h1n or h4n you've got a very affordable professional sounding lav mic setup. just a shame you need to check on it all the time to make sure it's still running.
