Seems complicated

I haven't used it because it seems too complicated. To use this device you have to put it in your ear. Usually I already have a blue tooth ear piece in my ear. I was hoping for a recording device that would hook to the phone base somehow.

Awesome!!!!

I would give this product 10 stars if I could. I was ready to be disappointed when I ordered this. Boy was I wrong. It works great!

What took them so long to come up with this?

After having struggled with every other design of telephone recording microphone, including the awful suction cup design (never sticks long enough to be useful, plus terrible sound quality all around) and the type that plug into the actual line between a corded phone handset and the dial pad), I finally discovered this device and I am enamored with the simplicity and effectiveness of its design. First, it is so comfortable that I often forget I am wearing it. Secondly, it records even better than my previous technique of aiming a shotgun mike at a conference phone, without compromising my in-call experience at all. Thirdly, although, as another reviewer mentioned, it does not record in stereo, I can imagine any applications (at least that apply to my work) where that feature might be useful. This is a high-quality piece of gear and it is at an affordable price. I've paid far more and received far less from competing products.

By the way, for the tech-curious, I am using the Sony Professional Portable 24-bit Linear Audio Recorder, which enables me to monitor my sound quality and to adjust as necessary. Other recorders with similar capabilities should perform equally as well. All of my problems with recording calls, whether on cell phone or landline, have been solved. Thanks, Olympus!

WORKS GREAT

I also bought it to record some phone conversations with relatives about family history. It worked surprisingly well with the additional microphone ear piece.

Very easy to use, the ear piece slides into the ear of the person recording on the phone, the phone is then held up to the speaker on the outside of the earpiece and records both people on the phone.
