Useful and Quality Microphone for a Great Price
(5 out of 5) by Carl Franklin on May 9, 2007 (Cedar City, UT USA)I purchased this mircrophone with the Olympus WS-331 Digital Voice Recorder. The WS-331 is a great recorder, and the use of the external microphone makes it even better. I can simply clip the microphone to my lapel and it picks up my voice easily. The quality of recording is improved simply because I am not trying to hold the recorder steady in front of my while I dictate.
One of the best things about this microphone is that the connecting wire allows me to leave the recorder on my belt while keeping the microphone on my lapel. I've used this to record lectures for my students, and the quality of the recording is very good.

Me-15 with WS-320M
(5 out of 5) by Alan Carr on Aug 31, 2006 (Lenoir, NC USA)I use this microphone with an Olympus WS-320M digital recorder. I am a Pastor/Evangelist and I use this combination to record my sermons when I am preaching away from my home church. In addition, I use it to record my lectures at the Bible college where I teach.
This microphone provides much better sound reproduction than the built in mics on the digital recorder. I can achieve some pretty decent recordings using this product.

I LOVE THIS THING!!!
(5 out of 5) by Eli M. Kassab on Feb 8, 2007 (LA, Cali)This made my digital voice recorder 10x better, it picked up the sound much clearer and from farther away. I use this for college and so sometimes i sit in the back and sometimes in the front but i couldn't use my Digital Voice recorder w/o this. Highly Recommened

Not a quality item
(2 out of 5) by newshound on Jan 17, 2008You get what you pay for. The Olympus ME-15 is a small, lightweight lavalier style microphone. The cord is just three feet long, which makes it too short for most uses except recording your own voice. The mic is omnidirectional (picks up sound from all directions), which means it's pretty useless except under very quiet conditions. If you use the attached clip, the mic has a tendency to pick up extraneous sounds like clothing rubbing against it. If you don't use the clip, your fingers can cause annoying extraneous sounds, too. Bottom line, it's compact and works as designed. It just isn't designed all that well. And for the price, I suppose that's all you can really expect. I'll keep it as an emergency back-up travel mic, but it's really no better than the built-in mic on my Olympus 300M.
