    Pros: Easy To Use, Versatile Cons: Other thoughts: These are super handy and easy to use. The only complaint I have is that i bought two of them and can't use them both at the sometimes on my computer because they have the same serial number?! Apple tells me it's Blues fault, Blue tells me its Apple's issue. Also, Blue has the worlds WORST customer service!!! Theres only ONE girl working in tech assistance and she NEVER answers her phone or answer your messages. If you send her an email she email you back... About three weeks later. Ridiculous.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Comments about Mikey 2.0 Recording Microphone for iPod and iPhone

    Pros: Easy To Use Cons: Other thoughts: I gotta tell you guys, this little Mikey is an awesome product. I work for a radio station in Arizona (780 KAZM) and I get to cover the Arizona Cardinals and attend the press conferences and interview all the players and coaches. For the press conferences, I just put my Mikey on my Nano and use the folding feature and just put the NanoMikey on the podium with the 2nd sensitivity level. It gets not only the speakers words very clearly, but also eveybodies questions that are asked from all over the room. As far as the personal interviews, I have been ogled at by looks of WHAT IS THAT??? The sounds of the recordings are so clear. Great product!!!!! Rob

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

    Comments about Mikey 2.0 Recording Microphone for iPod and iPhone

    Pros: Excellent Sound, Easy To Use, Powerful Cons: Other thoughts: I use this product to record Doctor visits. A lot of times you don't always hear what the Doctor is saying because you are to busy thinking of the next question you want to ask him. With this you can go back a listen to your visit and pick up important words so sayings that will help you make the right decisions

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
