5 out of 5 stars It works --> pus TP-7 Telephone Pickup   June 12, 2007

No complaints. Works as advertised. A bit uncomfortable in the ear, but probably would be a problem only for long interviews... Otherwise it works well. Also,probably works better with a handheld phone vs a cell phone (which is what I used). Also, works if using a headset and connecting to the internet via skype.
Would buy again.

I bought this to use with the Olympus DS series recorders, but it should work with most recorders that have inputs. It does come with adapters for mono, stereo, and mini-jack, and, of course you can buy additional adapters...

The phone recording works fine. Have confidence that it's working and remember to keep your own voice low to keep more of a balance in the recording. Sometimes, too, the playback on the computer turns out to be more balanced and better sounding than the sound on the device's own speaker.

And, as a bonus, you may want to use this mic for interviews rather than the tie-clip mic or the RS29. With the TP7 in your ear, it records people speaking next to you, or, across from you, very well.

Bottom line, if I only bought one accessory for recording with a DS recorder, this might be my first and only pick.

If it had a "pause" feature, I'd bump my review from four stars to six....



4 out of 5 stars works almost flawlessly   May 22, 2007

i needed to record a cell phone conversation and this was the absolute cheapest way to do it. the earpiece has a microphone on the opposite side that records what is being said by whomever you're talking to, plus your voice (a bit louder). i bought it friday and it got to my house by monday. amazing.

one thing: this mic doesn't have its own power source, so whatever recording device you plug it into must be able to supply power. i used an olympus VN-2100 digital recorder and it worked almost flawlessly. i say almost because the mic doesn't record in stereo, it records in mono. but the record volume is loud and comes out very very clear even if the earpiece/mic isn't right on top of the phone receiver.

you will not be able to do this any better for the money. a lot of online spy shops are charging $200 or more for this same function. i got this mic (which will record cell phone and land line conversations) plus a digital recorder for under $50.



5 out of 5 stars A good purchase indeed.   May 15, 2007

If you want to have just one tool to record telephone conversations, no matter the kind (cell phone, POTS, wireless) this is your best purchase. The microphone works very well. There are two issues you need to handle, though. The microphone is very sensitive, and that might give you some feedback problems; you need to have some form of volume control if you want to avoid this. And then, because your own voice is closer to the microphone, your side of the conversation is recorded at a higher volume unless you find a way to also raise the volume of the other party's voice. These factors are beyond the control of the manufacturer, so in my opinion they do not detract from the microphone's quality.

Works fine. The quality of the record is good, in particular clear. The coated of the wire is not good. I suppose that his util life isn't very long.
