There is absolutely no way to know that you're not getting a recording until you try to play something back and there's nothing there or it's faint sounding. I didn't see in the specs that they also require batteries (which by the way, don't come with the microphones) and I bought them only to find they would be of no use to me in my work as I can't run the risk of not getting a perfect recording each time.Do not buy these microphones -- any microphone that needs independent batteries and doesn't have a low battery indicator is worthless. These mikes might look great, but of what use are they when they need a battery and there is no low battery indicator. DO NOT BUY THIS MICROPHONE IF YOU CARE ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE ACTUALLY RECORDING A SESSION OR NOT. I have never had a problem. Thankfully, I only bought two, and they are not terribly expensive.As a court repoorter, I'm always looking for new equipment and thought I would try these mikes for court as they looked low key and would be a nice addition to my microphone stable.
This is the worst waste of money of my whole life.
What a useless microphone.
They have identical plugs and are about the same size.
Steer clear.
I highly recommend the Labtec VERSE 333 MON MOUNT MIC ( 980184-0403 ) which are available on Amazon and are cheaper than the Sony.
You also have to turn the microphone on and off on the bottom which is difficult to do because of the switch design and if you forget to turn it off, you'll run your battery down.
Arrh.
I have three of them and they work great.
I take down courtrooms, public meetings in large rooms, depositions -- and I get everything clearly enough to be able to provide a perfect transcript to my clients.
I picked this small mic to use with collaboration tools at my desk.and since it was Sony figured it would be a great product. I tried adjusting my mic levels and nothing seemed to work. WRONG. Unless you hold the mic almost against your mouth, it won't pick up your audio. I ended up at Radio Shack to buy a lapel mic that actually works. This is buy far the WORST Sony product I have ever used.
I am a musician, I bought one, it is so bad , the sound is so small, it is not sensitive, I cannot use it. just throw away. Do not waste your money even it is 1 dollar.Luke Thanh Hoang
This product was not what I expected it to be. It was so light weight, it never would have stayed in one spot for very long. I threw it in the garbage.
I purchased this to use with my Sony Cassette Recorder. It greatly enhanced the recording. You do need to purchase the battery separately.
