Can’t find a headset/mic combination you like? Do you have a favorite pair of headphones but no mic? Wouldn’t it be great to just add a microphone to your own headphones anytime you like? You may remember my own attempts at using a hot glue gun to attach a microphone to my own comfy headphones… [...]

A shockmount is used to isolate your microphone from vibration while recording.

Last year I reviewed the Yeti USB microphone. At the time, I really liked the microphone, and over the last year using it, my opinion of it has only improved. Honestly, when it comes to my needs, the Yeti was definitely a 10. When they released the Yeti Pro, I was intrigued to see what [...]

Last year I reviewed Blue Microphone’s Yeti. It is a great microphone for using at home, and I have read of some folks hacking things so that it works with their iPad, but it is not really a portable solution. For that, Blue released the Mikey. The Mikey is designed to work with the iPhone and [...]

Not sure what’s going on, but all of a sudden it seems that everyone thinks that the Flip Video camera has crappy audio and needs to be fixed. Ok, not everyone… But just yesterday I posted a news item about the Mikey Mic from Blue Mic and now today we have news from Scosche with [...]

They minimize ambient noise, and their 10mm drivers reproduce 20-20,000 Hz for full, rich sound. There’s a built-in microphone so you can use it [...]

I recently did a review of the Arctic Cooling E361-WM earphones with microphone. The E361 earphones worked flawlessly as a playback device for both my computer and my iPod touch. The microphone worked great with my touch, but I had some problems recording with it on my laptop. I felt that the problem was probably [...]

I think there must be something unusual about the shape of my ears, because I have never been able to find a pair of ear buds that I can stand to wear for more than a couple of minutes. The ear buds that come with iPods sound okay, but they hurt my ears so much [...]

The new iPhone 3G s has video recording capability, but the microphone faces the opposite direction when you’re capturing video, causing the audio quality to be weak. Brando’s Workshop has come to the rescue with their Flexible Mini Capsule microphone. It can rotate and bend to point at your subject, resulting in a much better [...]

I really like compact (but GOOD) USB micrphones. Lately my favorite has been the Snowflake from BlueMic. But this new Go Mic from Samson looks pretty cool too. It can clip on top of your laptop screen or be used on a desktop (at least it appears to work on a desktop). I hope to [...]
