What our customer's say!

"this works great!", my sister uses her olympus audio recorder at school for recording lectures. i bought this for her so she could record the teacher even from far away. the audio quality of her recordings is better with it! now she thanks me for buying this for her.

"great addition", Works very well picks up everything I need it to. No caveats. The audio files are right and tight. No odd swishing or weird "extras" like delays or echos. I start the recorder and leave it on the desk as I lecture and wander around the front of the room.
Sounds great, works well

"Cheaply made", Small mic + small price = small quality. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for. I'd recommend spending twice the money for something else. I'm not even sure this mic improved my sound quality at all.

"Good for a laptop add-on, but angle can't be adjusted", I bought this to add a microphone to my laptop (for Skype). It works fine, I have a input jack on the right of my laptop.

For proper use, the sound must be directed into the TOP of the mic. So in order for the person to hear me I have to cock my laptop to the side. It would be much nicer if the angle of the head was adjustable so I sit directly in front of my laptop and people hear me.

"Hissing Sound", I purchased this mic and simultaneously an Olympus lapel mic. This one is to "cancel external noise," however, the mic is sensitive enough that it picks up the hissing (sort of like low static) of the little recorder it sits on. I wish it had a cord it could mount onto the end of.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"item is ok.", I purchased this item for my husbands recorder, it works ok but to me it sounds just like recording without the microphone, it doesn't really cancel out a lot of the noise in my opinon...it sounds exactly the same with or without the mic. He thinks that it works "ok".

"Good mic at a great price", Better for interviews than the built-in mic on Olympus voice recorders. I have the WS-320M recorder. The ME-12 mic is not as sensitive as the built-in, though. The ME-12 is at its best when dictating, and not as good when recording a lecture from far away.

Works great with an extension cable, and is especially good for recording live interviews. You can move the mic where you want it depending on who's speaking.

"A nice theory", I got this microphone for my laptop which does not have a built-in mic. The problem I ran into, and it may not be the microphone's fault, is that with this mic in the computer and sound coming out of the speaker (right next to the mic) I get a ton of feedback and echo.

It is a great little mic though, so it would work well for a recorder or a computer where there is more separation between the mic and the speakers

"This does what it's supposed to do", This little microphone works well for me. I've owned it since August and now it's November 3. I use it with my Olympus WS-100 to take notes which I then save to my computer and import it into Dragon Naturally Speaking version 9 Preferred which then produces a Microsoft Word document. I speak into the microphone from about 2 inches away and am really careful with my diction and pronunciation because there is just a little bit of distortion if you over drive it. But with a little work in practice it does what it's supposed to do. Oh, one side note if you do import this into Dragon be aware you will have to make corrections. Sometimes a lot of them but that's based on how you speak. Or maybe that's based on how I speak that's been my experience anyway. But that's not the fault of the microphone.

"Better off without mic", I married this mic to the Olympus WS-200S Digital Voice Recorder, which by the way plays in stereo. When attaching the mic there was a significant loss of volume, as the system only used one channel rather than stereo. The resulting loss of volume requiered the volume to be turned up during playback increasing backround noise levels. I use this device to record class lectures at the college level. Without the mic I was able to hear student questions from the back clearly. With the mic installed, I could no longer make out all the questions from the high volume related static.
