this is great when you want or need to record phone conversations. i use mine to record interviews over the phone & it’s been really excellent. it produces much better quality recordings that i thought, and allows you to simply, inexpensively record your phone calls.

It’s a simple device that plugs into the mic jack of your recorder and the ear piece is between your ear and telephone headset. Didn’t have any issues with recording phone calls, recordings were clear. No need for fancy telephone recording gadgets – this works great with any small voice recorders.

I had my doubts, not realizing how simple this little thing works. I attached it to my Sony ICD-UX71 digital recorder, stuck the earpiece in my ear and then made a phone call. I tested it while on the road in my car using my Palm Treo680 cell phone. It picked up the call from both ends remarkably well. I also got all the sounds from the car, but that may be a function of my Sony recorder, I don’t know for sure. Either way, the microphone on this device is sensitive and works very well!
The earpiece felt a little awkward at first, but I soon got used to it and it did not cause discomfort. For those wondering how this ingenious little device works, the other side of the earpiece, the part that goes against the phone when you have it to your ear, is a microphone and picks up the sound from your phone receiver.
when listening to the playback of my recordings, I did NOT notice the caller’s voice lower than mine, as another reviewer pointed out. However, you can tell it is a phone call and not a face to face discussion. Altough that could be a function of the phone equipment I was using as well (both from my end and the 2 people I called – both of them were talking to me from an iPhone3G).
I mention the recorder make/model and the cell phone make/models as the recording quality may have a lot to do with these factors.
I wanted this as a solution to use for doing phone interviews for a podcast that I work on. It’s a great alternative to Skype and so very convenient!
I’d definitely recommend it.

The mic came with several ear pieces, so fit was fine. It also came with adaptor plugs (not shown in Amazon ad). Recording ability is better than I hoped, and is fine with the monoral digital recording device I use. Not a bad value for the cost.
