I just bought a Blue Mikey to improve the sound quality when recording video on the iPhone 3GS - unfortunately it seems to only record mono. Has anyone else experienced this?ThanksHerb

William- Your reply is just bile. Oops, i mean vile. Obviously a typo. Love that you jumped on it.

I believe the mono only problem is a function of the iPhone's voice recorder software. Consider the $3 Bias iProRecorder software, which gives you control over recording quality, input gain, and allows recording in stereo.

will it work with 3gs IOS4 update. and does it record on mono? any suggestions?

The problem is that I'd like to use it when recording video, not just for voice notes. It's been very frustrating - sometimes it records in stereo, but most of the time in mono. I haven't been able to figure out what makes the difference.

No. It says iPhone 4 only but even with that I haven't been able to get it to work. It looks like it is doing something, it is picking up sound, but it is not recording it. I'd have sent it back but too much time went by.

I don't know. I purchased this microphone, plugged it into my iPhone, and tried recording. I could not tell any difference from recording with the internal microphone. But then the real problem: when I attempted to pull out the microphone the outer housing pulled off the plug and the wire attached. It took some work to remove the plug from the socket on the phone. I also tried the iRig microphone. I can't see that it does anything either. I've tried them on my iPhone 5 and on an iPad 3 and 4.

Hi Jedidiah! Well, I don't have an iPhone, but I honestly doubt that you could use the LightScribe stereo headphones with it. The headphones have a customized 3.5 mm stereo phone connector (sometimes called a "mini") with 5 signal lines. In technical terms, it's a TRRRS connector instead of the TRS (I guess) that's probably used by the iPhone. You could plug this into your iPhone, and perhaps even get a (mono) audio to listen to, but recording won't be possible. Even more so since this is a stereo recording device, while the iPhone can only record in mono. I hope this helps! Cheers, Andreas

For me everything works BUT playing music! What is the secret to make it play music with iPhone 3GS? I tried starting iPod before and after connecting to the Dock, but it didnt work. Besides using the DOck button, is there anything tricky? Thanks.

This was a great microphone for that. Unfortunately for me the plug end which snaps into the iphone fell apart in about a month of use and although Edutige support answered quickly, things died and I never received the RMA to replace. If you buy, I believe you will be happy with the experience, especially if it stays together. Good luck.

See Andrew's reply. Just be aware that you may not be able to monitor the audio with headphones while recording. I tried doing that with an android phone (Galaxy Note 3) which accepts a 4-conductor mini-plug, and the mini-jack headphone connector was only active during playback. iPhone might allow monitoring during recording, I don't know.

We do not have an iPhone 6 (only 4 and 4s, which is why we bought this version of Mikey). However, we do have an iPad Mini, and I just verified that this Mikey does work, using the Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter (MD824ZM/A), at least for making video recordings with sound.

I've used the Azden SMX-10 stereo on-camera external mic to record a few videos performed by our Harbour Jazz Trio and uploaded to YouTube.com here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYUegKQVH38 and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK5rr5kFRKg. I'm very pleased by the mic (even though it was in no way able to make me sound anything like Bobby Hackett!!!). My user name here was selected as a tribute to one of my idols, not as an indication of my playing ability which as you will see no way resembles Bobby's. If only! : ) With the 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter the mic works perfectly on the FZ100!

Jeremy, actually this little widget has been fantastic for me. It supports mic and speaker output for iphone compatible headsets. Great for google phone, skype etc. And you don't need a 2nd pair of headsets. Go straight from your phone to with GTMax. My wife and I both have one for our laptops and we have another one for our desktop. Hope that helps.Greg

We use the iOS app on an iPad attached to a mic to control the GoPro when we want to record our band performances. The iOS is much better, IMHO, because it allows you to really see what you are shooting.

I haven't personally used those apps, but every other app I've used the MiC has worked beautifully on. This is definitely my favorite microphone I've ever used.

This microphone support ipad/iphone and PC. You need to ensure you are in the headset mode with Amber/Blue flash light alternatively for the pairing. Just press and hold the on/off button, you will see the mode changing with different light indication. However, you need to ensure your apps support Bluetooth Microphone. For the voice recording apps, you can try "Voice Recorder HD", "Audio memos" and others.. you can find from Apps store. For voice capture on video recording, it is not easy to find these apps. Maybe, Apple can explain the reason on this so far..

Sounds like it isn't working at all, and your device is recording from its own internal microphone. If you are trying to record to an iPhone or something similar, the microphone's 3.5mm connector is only making contact with the headphone out so you are only recording the phone's microphone. You will need an adapter. AT recommends a 3-ring 3.5mm TRRS adapter, but that didn't work for my iPhone 5 and iPad 4. Others recommend a mono adapter. It does work fine with my computer and Roland recorder.

I have the same microphone and used my iphone4 to record and only got the recording through the onboard mic. The lapel is great but I think it is set up for use with recorders. I use it with the ZoomH1 but you could use a cheaper recorder http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-V404130BU000-VN-7200-Digital-Recorder/dp/B005756GYM/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400082788&sr=1-6&keywords=mp3+recorder

Ya... I bought the Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone Sony ECMCS3 Clip style Omnidirectional Stereo Microphone for $27.95, and got the 3.5mm StereoTRRS 4-Pole M to TRS Jack Microphone to iPhone Adapter 3.5mm StereoTRRS 4-Pole M to TRS Jack Microphone to iPhone Adapter for another $20.00... I saved $10 dollars at the end of the day and the quality was much better on the Sony. You can just try any of the other cheap lavalier mics with that adapter above and probably save yourself even more. I'm returning this ASAP... Ya...

In the video (last "photo" box) he specifically shows how to hook this mic up to an ipad and talks about how the ipad port produces enough juice to power the mic. At least with that iOS device this mic works. Maybe an iphone wont be able to power it up, but the video does not answer that one.
