XtremeMac IPV-MIC-00 MicroMemo Digital Voice Recorder for iPod Video (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this a week before my college classes started this quarter, primarily to record lectures. It is past the half way point of the quarter, and I am pleased with the results.

Recording is easy; just snap it on the bottom of the iPod and the recording menu will automatically show up. From there you have an option of recording in either high or low quality.

Personally, I did not find any great difference in quality, but there is a significant difference in the power consumption (with the high quality mode sucking almost all the battery power of my 30gb iPod video when recording for 80 minutes), and file size (low quality mode records at about 2.5 mb/min) between the two options.

My class lectures are 80 minutes long, and I had no problem with battery life. In fact, I am able to record 3 of these lectures in one day, as well as walk around campus using my iPod, and still have about a quarter of the battery life left.

I have only tried recording when I am in the very front of the class; I felt it's not worth it to experiment by moving around the class each time. With that said, it works great when I'm up there.

My only complaint is that it cannot work with an iPod skin or protective case. That is, you have to take your iPod out of one of these for it to connect properly to the microphone.

Finally, if you are in college and have been considering recording your lectures, I highly recommend it. I am a third year, and wish I bought this sooner. You cannot write down everything your professor says, and when reviewing for a test and are unsure of a topic covered in the lectures, all it takes is a push of a button to hear what the professor said EXACTLY.
