5 out of 5 stars good   October 6, 2008
im a journalist and ive found this device to be very functional. mostly relying on a recording device is a bad idea; usually it's efficient to just dictate the choice quotes when you're actually having the conversation. but for review purposes being able to record a phone conversation can come in handy, and this device gets the job done.


5 out of 5 stars Effective   September 6, 2008
This inexpensive microhone goes in your ear and allows you to record phone conversations over any kind of phone (including cellphones, home phones or payphones) without any adapter. It feels like any earbud for an MP-3 player and does not degrade the sound quality of the conversation. I pair it with my Olympus VN-3100PC and the recording clarity and quality are excellent.


5 out of 5 stars Ear-bud Phone recorder is a great innovation   August 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We are using an Olympus WAS-331M Digital Voice Recorder for interviews for an academic research project, and found that some interviews needed to be done by phone. At first I was surprised that Olympus' telephone recording device was an ear-bud instead of attaching to the phone cord. Then I realized what an improvement it was - you can use it on a cordless phone, a cell phone, or a call over a computer through the internet! The sound quality is great - or as good as your phone connection, anyway.

Two notes: (1) It comes with two adapter jacks, but the instructions are minimal to figure out which to use. (2) Make sure to plug the jack into the recorder's "mic" plug, not the "ear" plug. It will still record if plugged into the wrong jack, but the sound quality will be terrible.



3 out of 5 stars Good not great   August 10, 2008

This microphone seems well made, despite being inexpensive, and the sound quality is good. But there are disadvantages. First, you have to wear it in your ear as you talk. That's awkward for me. I can feel it between the phone and my ear and it gets in the way, sonically -- you don't hear as well with it in. Worse, it records my voice much more loudly than the person at the other end of the line.

So, yes, it works, and yes, I can get used to it, but it's not an ideal solution.
