| M-Audio's latest Session Music Producer USB Microphone for Windows supposedly has a slight edge over similar mics, embedding an on-board headphone jack, bypassing your computer so you can get feedback latency down to just about zero. The USB Mic is undoubtedly compatible with other M-Audio products, and bundles Session recording and production |

| We've been playing with a few headsets from Plantronics .Audio range over the last few weeks. We'll mention a couple more soon, but the 480 stood out here as a really interesting take on the portable headset. We're basically talking about a set of earbuds with a mic attached on the left bud. A little weird, but the whole thing works a treat - good |

| One of the big projects at the iPod touch mods blog is snappy homemade mic dongle for VoIP that neatly fits into the dock connector. They've been documenting the process over the last couple weeks, and now they're finally ready to take orders. It's small, black and looks anything but DIY. They don't have a price listed, but the most recent post |

| According to the creators of the microphone for iPod touch, their invention works perfectly with Nikotalkie, software that can send voice messages over the internet. While this is not as fluid as a real phone conversation and it's not exactly push-to-talk, it looks like a cheap, easy way to communicate with people without having to resort to text |

The 24-bit sampling gives your tracks very high-resolution detail for your mixing, capturing every single detail of your off-key singing. The mike has a gold sputtered diaphragm, with a high |

| What a concept! [sarcasm] The MTA has finally decided to outfit the old trains in the system with speakers mounted on the outside [Daily News] of the trains. That way, people outside the train can hear the announcements while standing on the platform. I think we’ve all been in the situation where we’ve boarded a train [...] |

| NPR has this fascinating piece on the custom microphone building threaded with history of Neumann Microphones. Neumann made the smooth-sounding U47 that the Beatles recorded on almost exclusively on from 1962 to 1970, as did Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and others. When I say others, I mean Hitler. |

| Camcorders these days are all about the vision. I mean, you're hard pressed to find a model that isn't High-Def on the shelves of your local Bing Lee. But what about sound quality? When you've got your camera at the maximum 20x zoom trying to capture what somebody's doing 30 metres away, can you ever hear what they're saying? The answer is |

| Catheters suck, but they're a necessary evil for men who want to know if they have benign prostatic hyperplasia (quickie Giz diagnosis: you're cancer-free, but pee six times an hour). And in addition to excruciating tube-down-your-johnson pain, the catheter also carries with it the potential for infection. The process could be changing soon, |

| Gross Binaural Microphone is Clearly Missing a Face |
| Published: June 16, 2008, 8:10 pm |
| Tags: Gadgets, Binaural, Ears, Gadgets, Gross, Microphones |
| The concept of binaural microphones is elegantly simple: record sounds from the positions of human ears, creating the illusion of 3d sound at playback. This blue beast makes that concept very explicit, and like the binaural head mic before it, will rarely be able to record anything but people screaming "OH GOD WHAT IS THAT?" in glorious 3d. |

| The second new Wii accessory out of E3, the WiiSpeak community mic and speaker finally lets you chat with other people online. Unlike an Xbox 360 headset, it's more about group chatting and is placed on top of your TV, like a conference call mic (how does it filter out game sounds?).
