Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Enhanced Noise Canceling Microphone - Olympus ME-52W by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well. good for professional video accessories

I use this device, connected directly to a Sony voice recorder, for door-to-door interviews, especially in noisy environments (e.g. at an event near noisy loudspeakers) and/or when there are many other journalists in front of me and I have been pushed to the rear of the pack. It works like a charm. I can't complain about the sound quality. But there are downsides: 1. It has a mono output, so you'll need a separate adapter to record on both the left and right stereo channels. (That's the only reason I'm deducting a star.) 2. It comes with a windshield, but it doesn't fit well and is easy to remove. I think it's a matter of time before I lose it.3. Contrary to what some others have said about Revain, I've had no luck with it on an Android phone. At least not with the Samsung S7 Edge and not with this microphone (straight out of the box) or with a mono to stereo adapter. Perhaps Olympus should put a mono to stereo adapter and adapters for different phones in the package. Or just give the microphone a "stereo" output.

Pros
  • Delightful
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
