Sony ECM-MS957 Stereo Microphone with Rotating Mid Capsule Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this mike for use with my minidisc recorders, mainly to record choral concerts at church and in other places. It has a nice stereo directionality and separation choices, but I advise you to watch your record levels or mike sensitivity setting because the sound levels tended to overload on loud passages or with percussive music like piano when used with my recorder's default (high) mike sensitivity setting.
It's very solid and well made. I'd rather have a boxed carrying case instead of the soft pouch provided, but that's a quibble.

SHURE PG58QTR Performance Gear Vocal Microphone with 1/4-inch Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Building a home studio, owned a few mics before this, some were more expensive some cheaper. This microphone blows them all away, there's a reason Shure has such a good reputation in this industry. This mic is built rock solid, the switch feels really solid and I don't have to worry about it breaking. First time I used this I was absolutely amazed at how crisp and clear the recording was. I'm buying two more.

Shure PG58XLR Vocal Mic with XLR to XLR Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So I run a small recording studio in my home and work with the audio systems at our church and other events. All the places I've ever worked at trust SHURE microphones. I bought the PG58, and its apparent why that is. Giving little or no feedback at high volumes, the PG58 really owns up to its SHURE name. It has a shockmount inside so the handling noise is barely there. The rugged handle and materials used to build it can take a serious beating. I myself treat my equipment very well, but I know others who use SHURE microphones and DON'T take the best care....and they're nearly indestructible! Bottom Line, great mic for a great price, especially if you buy it on Amazon! So far, its pleased me endlessly, and I'm sure it will continue to do so!

Emerge Technologies Retractable Stereo Computer Headset with Microphone (ETAUDIOVOIPS) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love these headphones and their non-mic'ed little brothers.
The mic/headphone is small and simple enough to put in a briefcase and keep there until needed. On the road they provide both good headphone ability and pass-able microphone recording ability. All while not getting tangled (and therefore broken cords) and taking up a minimum amount of space.
If you are the type that demands $100 headphones or a studio quality mic, these are not for you.
And admittedly I would not use these for important client interviews. But, if I am traveling for a day or two and need to use VoIP, or talk to someone who can handle a lower quality mic (e.g., co-workers, family, friends, etc.) they work very well. The quality can be increased by raising the mic to your mouth.
The in-ear headphones provide good isolation from outside noise (e.g., airport, kids, etc.)
As with all retractable headphones/cables, eventually the retractable portion will break (happens much faster for the headphone-only versions that got used every day) and the cables will just snap back into the coil. (Which is why I stopped using the headphone only version of these.) The problem usually is that the ball bearing jumps out of the plastic track it rides in because the edges of the plastic track wears down. To "fix" this, peel off the manufacture's label, and remove the small Philips head screw that holds everything together. Throw away all the parts related to the spring (you'll never get that back together anyhow) and keep the now un-retractable cable/headphones/mic.
