Review on 🎀 Enhance Your iPod Experience with the Griffin Technology 4020-TALK iTalk Voice Recorder by Daniel Postle

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cheap, poor quality, insert other synonyms for "shit "

I got an ipod and ittalk for school and was immediately disappointed with the quality of the sound recording and playback, especially when ittalk didn't connect "just like that". Italk definitely doesn't behave like it was made for an iPod. When you tuck it in at the top, it appears to be placed randomly even when seated correctly, so in all cases it's hard to tell if you have it. Path. When you play back something you've recorded you get half noise, half what you recorded, it's worse than if I used a kid's tape recorder and 1990's style microphone. And finally, the most obvious annoying aspect of this junk: the slightest horizontal pressure on the ittalk makes it break. No, it doesn't turn off, it breaks off. So now I have a $30 piece of plastic and wire. And after seeing the innards of this beautiful iPod creation, I understand why Apple makes so much money off its line of iPod accessories (apart from the fact that the headphones are universally interchangeable with any other product); This contraption can't have cost more than five bucks, the wires and plastic in the Italk might be like the McDonald's toy you get free with your happy lunch. In fact, I might go straight to McDonald's and grab one of those little Star Wars lights they add to happy dinners these days and use it as a spare to fix my broken voice. If only I had a soldering iron.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
