Works well for me (Rating: 4 out of 5) I bought this after researching the product to make sure it was compatable with my ipod, which it was. I paired this with an Olympus ME-15 microphone, and the quality is better than I had expected! I do a podcast from my truck, and the mic gain control is just perfect. I have experienced none of the static or hiss as described in another review. The light on the front does a great job of letting me know if my levels are too high, as well. I recommend this product highly. If you want to hear how it sounds in the capacity I use it, check out one of my podcasts. Search for SurfingTrucker on mevio.
Terrible audio quality...... (Rating: 1 out of 5) If you are planning on recording music to this, or high quality lectures or talks, DO NOT GET THIS. It seems to be well made, and works seemlessly with my ipod, but the audio quality is terrible. There is static galore on all mic levels. Not recommended. Spend your money on something else.
It's not compatible with the New Video Ipod, newest Ipod (Rating: 1 out of 5) In the photo you are deliberatley decieved into believing it doesn't contain that chip type plug in. I'm not technical enough to explain, but I think if you've bought a recorder in the past for your older Ipod, you've realised the recorder doesnt' fit the new Ipod because of the other part that plugs in. There is only the headphone slot on the top. The photo only shows the headphone jack so it decieves you into believing this one will fit your new IPOD. I just kept it anyway, haven't used it. That's not the point, buyer beware if you're buying for the latest Ipod, this isn't for you.
