This is because inputing a mic into the iPod Touch headphone jack disables the speaker. I have to say it's not the mic fault, but rather the user who didn't research what the mic does. It is only for inputting audio into recording aps. If you want to use it as a phone rig, then you have to look at an adapter or a mic/headphone combo since you will lose the speaker output on the ipod. That said, I would like to say that this is an excellent mic. I'm am an old recording buff and have had tons of mics. I'm am very, very pleased with the audio this mic records. It sounds as clear and natural as condenser mics costing four or five times as much. I was really very surprised by its recording capabilities - as I mainly bought it to jot down little audio notes to myself, not thinking I'd be getting really nice fidelity along the way. The makers say they auditioned a bunch on condenser mic before settling on the one in...

They actually could make a nice combination of two small mics to carry for use with an iPod or iPhone. I have an iPod touch, and compared to something like the Mikey, these DO work and work well. However, this thumbtack one records as a very low level of sensitivity. It likely would work best for recording memos to yourself. If you want to record a talk by someone else and capture more sound in the room, the RapCap has a much greater sensitivity level (which matters a lot since I see no way on the iPod Touch itself to adjust sensitivity levels). So, the RapCap seems better for many uses, but this thumbtack one would be good for personal voice memos. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  Works Perfect for what it's intended for!!, By This review is from: Switcheasy ThumbTacks Microphone for iPod nano 4G, touch 2G (Black) (Electronics) Thats a good idea below to try but I do not believe it advertises that it will work for that. This Mic is really easy to use, literally plug it in and it works! I believe it will also work with the iPhone 3G if you download the free iTalk app. If you at all need a mic and want something that works well and is cool, this is it! |
