    I used to use a Micromemo for recording my voice for work. However, when I upgraded my iPod I discovered to my disgruntlement that the Micromemo is not supported by the newer iPod ("Extra pins" they told me in the apple shop). Mikey was the only microphone which seemed to do what I needed it to and so it was with some concern I parted with my money and purchased one. It does not have an external mic plug ( I use a lapel mic mostly) so I had to train myself to hold the iPod 8 inches from my mouth, rather than bung it on the table and get on with it - but the sound quality! Wowee. I have a professional set up at home and I am hard pushed to tell the difference between the two now. This is a really superior little gadget. Highly recommended.

    Great Mic. 4 Sep 2010
    I have used this for recording acoustic guitar and vocal. It handled acoustic guitar particularly well, not boomy or boxy but with a nice mellow tone. Also the quiet moments are reproduced without hiss. I also recorded a band in a small venue and I was very impressed with the results. Handled the bottom end very smoothly and did a good job on cymbals as well. I would say that the live recording was as good as you could hope for and much better than I expected it to be.

    I am using the Mikey with an iPod Touch 3g 32gig with ios4 running the free Blue FiRe app.

    fantastic 13 Mar 2010
    Amazing quality for such a small mic. Perfect for recording on the go. Doesn't drain battery in any inconvenient way. THe speaker is very quiet but allows you to review what you have recorded to make sure you have something there. It's just great.

    This is a great product at a great price. Attached to my trusty old 60 Gb iPod it worked right out of the box and produced good results when recording an MoR trio.

    Great little microphone, very sensitive
    I wanted something to use in meetings, or to pick up ambient sound at places I was photographing or videoing so I could use as a background. Read more

    Unfortunately this does not work with the iPhone 4.
    It is somewhat annoying as there is even an app for it.

    Very disappointed.

    A good basic stereo mike for the ipod touch
    It doesn't quite compare with 2 dedicated phantom powered mikes in my home studio but it does a reasonable capture of of a classical guitar and lute. Read more

    Unfortunately the product didn't work so I had to return it, I was really disappointed as I had high hopes for it's use in recording meetings with the iPod.
