this is the I microphone no it doesn't go in your eye it goes in your eye product so this is compatible with iPhones iPads and iPods it performs it can make it so that they can perform double duty is a powerful digital voice recorder so what look sorry guys so what this is is an incredible high sensitivity 3.5 millimeter 4-pole omnidirectional condenser microphone for the iphone ipad and ipod so pretty much you're replacing the crummy microphone that's built into your iDevice with this one for a better voice pick up so a great use for something like this would be oh yeah I look at that they've even got a listing I was going to say business meetings but they've got that on their ideal for voice recording for example lectures interviews and business meetings so for example you've got speakeasy has software that allows you to convert recorded voice messages into text so you could use that or speak naturally speakeasy dragons something okay whatever someone who remembers what the piece of software is that takes your voice and turns it into text please leave that in the comments bat piece of software it's cheap it's like five bucks for the ipod would ideally be able to understand your voice better and convert it to text more easily especially in the context of a multi voice environment like a meeting or lecturer interview okay features incredible high sensitivity RF shielding compact design and premium wind screen is included okay specifications are here so you can feel free to pause and read that should you so desire don't take this out when it's too cold outside and we've also got a list of the products it is designed for although i suspect it would work just fine in any microphone jacks so let's go ahead and open this baby up what I'll have to do for you guys is do a couple of audio recording samples where I use the integrated microphone on my iphone4 vs the I microphone so there's the premium windscreen made of foam bottle screen the win for you also works for that all right and this is the i microphone itself so it has like a very solid feeling construction to it there's the microphone ok there's the jack here's what it looks like if you put the windscreen on it oh it's like totally wearing an afro there we go that's odd now put that in there now your iPhone has an afro okay I'll do the audio samples in a minute don't forget to subscribe linus tech tips from on boxing's reviews and other computer videos so we tested from a distance of about three feet on the I microphone and besides it being a lot louder with the I microphone versus the integrated one the integrated microphone actually was more clear so it seems like we're probably using it in the wrong application we were so close to it in a quiet environment maybe that's not what it's intended for so I figured what if I go further away and do an audio test instead so the I microphone is sitting there on the table i can just point at it okay and i'm going to go over here and i'm going to say something so this is testing the I microphone at a distance of power for far away this is and this is testing okay getting it again and this is testing the integrated microphone from a distance of however far away I am right now okay so I'm just going to show you guys the testing here so this is a one audio clip that it has both the I microphone and the integrated microphone from a greater distance in it this is what the I microphone and this is testing the integrated microphone from a distance of how far away so you can clearly hear that the integrated microphone does not pick up as much sound as the I microphone although what that does mean is it results in a slightly more clear sounding recording but it's all a matter of what is your objective if your objective is to catch more of the ambient sound overall more sound than yes the I microphone is far more sensitive than the integrated mic so if you do use your iphone ipod ipad any kind of AI device for a substantial amount of voice recording then something like this might not be a bad little pickup
