Title: Not a quality item
Review: You 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.
