Our priest roams the altar when preaching. This mic captures his voice with remarkable accuracy and clear sound. It doesn't look like a microphone, so it is less intimidating to shy speakers. I don't do "oral history" but, if I did, this mic would be my first choice.

Long lasting battery; Non-standard appearance; Very sensitive

I bought this to record therapy sessions with clients. Not only does it cut out when replaying a recorded session, the construction is so poor that the battery cover will not stay attached and the battery keeps falling out.

Design

Sound Quality; Build Quality

I bought this product to use with a digital recorder for recording Church Conferences to keep on record. I set it in the center of the Church Council members and it picks up every person extremely well. It is a small unit with big performance, which is not unusual for Audio-Technica products.

Purchased this for use with an Olympus DM-620 Voice Recorder. Could not get it working even after trouble shooting, checking the battery, switch etc. Staples credited my account and ordered a replacement unit that works very well.

Easy To Set Up; Easy to Use; Efficient

I just receive the product and oh man.... The cheap packaging (plastic bubble wrap) totally ruined the box and damaged the grill housing. I dont know if this will cause performance issue. Let's hope not. Planning to RMA but for newegg, this should've been avoided from the start.

Disappointed. My Sony recorder picked up sounds better without this microphone plugged in. Battery compartment very cheaply designed. Don't waste your time. Anyone who gives this more than 1 star either received a different product or has very low expectations. What I received is just below junk.
