Review on πŸ“ž OM Digital Solutions TP-7 Telephone Pick Up: Enhance Call Clarity and Quality with this Superior Device by Ayush Bonuccelli

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well for my needs

After several "we never said that" deals with my insurance company, cable company, and ISP, I've found myself recording more and more phone calls just to protect my interests . Too bad you can't easily access the NSA archives, but for now I guess I just have to keep my own records. === Good stuff ===* The device works as promised. Plug in the handset and use your phone as usual. I downloaded a free copy of Audacity, hooked up the cartridge to my Windows PC and after a quick level calibration I got great results. Both sides of a conversation are certainly audible, even if it's not the highest quality recording in the world.* Unusually for me, the earbud fitted my ear and was comfortable to wear for at least an hour or two. Not sure if I wanted to wear it all day, an hour or two, it wasn't that bad. There are three different headphone options and the pre-installed one worked perfectly for me*. The connector fitted very snugly into the microphone jack on my laptop. There was no sound from the plug moving in the socket. === Not good stuff ===* This is not a direct line-in recording, but a live mic recording. Thus, almost every noise in the environment is recorded. Most of my recordings have the clicking sounds of a phone banging against my ear and these headphones, the rustling of papers and other things while I'm on the phone, the keyboard clicking and of course a dog barking. The mic's directivity seems to be a little better.* The cable isn't the most durable, especially as sooner or later I forget myself and get up with the cartridge connected === Summary === This works well for my application which is is a cordless phone for both occasional and relatively short-term use. I would prefer a linear input solution, but for some reason this seems like a difficult task. I wouldn't want to wear this thing for 8 hours and the sound quality and noise reduction could certainly be improved, but for recording calls to 'helpdesk' it works fine.
