Go Blue!]]>Nov 8th 2008 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/Isn't the whole point of iPod mics that some modder makes into a Skype phone? Or for the 1G iPod Touch users, a cooler speaker? That'd look ok, or maby even decent on the iPod touch because of its dimensions and that fact that it is black, but it'd shure look ugly on a pink iPod Nano... Maby the Classic I can understand, but no Touch?!

Actually, no. That would be the point of headsets or headset-modded throwaway mics. Blue makes professional recording mics and, possibly because they are less-established than AKG and Neumann, adds audiophile retro style to sweeten the package. Their point is to be ostentatious about high-quality audio input, not to use industrial design to make tinny accessories to look important.

These prosumer mics are attempts to give budget and casual users higher quality sound at the input level, which is specifically possible on 5 and 5.5G iPods. I'm hoping other recording-capable DAPs can use them, too -- perhaps it will depend on the included cables and adapters.

The USB mic with webcam is a similar product. It provides an option for improved audio input where lower quality is the norm but not a preference.

For studio work, I prefer the classics (TLM-103, AKG 414, etc.) but would love to try both Blues for casual use.]]>Nov 8th 2008 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/Nov 8th 2008 3:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/Nov 8th 2008 4:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/08/blues-eyeball-webcam-and-mikey-ipod-mic-are-made-for-digital-cr/
