iTalk works fine (Rating: 4 out of 5) I've used the iTalk for a few things and it works well. It was shipped in great time and I am very pleased with the condition it came in.
Great for recording my students! (Rating: 5 out of 5) I purchased this for use with my music classes on a recommendation from another music tech teacher. It's fabulous and the quality is great for a basic level mic. We've all enjoyed the ability to then hook it up to the speakers and instantly hear the performance during class.
iTalk Pro a huge disappointment (Rating: 1 out of 5) I had an older model iTalk with my old iPod, which worked great! When I had to replace my iPod with a newer model, I immediately ordered a new iTalk Pro. What a disappointment! The recordings are full of pops and hisses, unlike my old one, which recorded as clear as a bell. These are virtually unusable recordings unless you have very sophisticated audio cleaning software, and even then they are barely passable to listen to. This device was a total waste of money, unfortunately. Maybe I just got a bad one, but it is of exceedingly poor quality.
For the money, this little guy works A-OK (Rating: 4 out of 5) I use this to record basic lyrics/melodies on the piano so I won't forget them. I've noticed the microphone is very sensitive and if the pitch changes there is a small electronic pulse (seemingly the microphone adjusting to the pitch?). Guess you can't expect expert recording :) But the sound is very clear otherwise, and it serves the purpose I need it to--very easy to use, clear recording, small enough to carry around with me everywhere. And for the money, it just can't be beat. I researched a lot of reviews on these little iPod recording things before deciding on this one, and all the reviews seemed to point this way.
iTalk is great (Rating: 5 out of 5) The Griffith iTalk Pro is super. It's a plug and go sort of thing, and I used correctly and successfully the first time I tried. The sound quality was amazing, really beyond what I expected. It worked perfectly inside my breast pocket with the default settings that came when it arrived, no adjustment needed. I have used it every day through a fifteen-week school term and it needs a charge about 1 hour after giving a two-hour lecture. I would buy this for twice what I paid and feel good about it. Compared to other types of mics, this one is the easiest to use, least expensive, and delivers great sound quality.
