This is typical Sony. I have heard that it works great with a Sony Mini-Disc recorder… if you have one, maybe it’s not so bad. For any other application, avoid this thing like the plague!
The microphone is designed to clip to a lapel or stand on a table. It’s fine for the lapel: the mic will capture the speaker’s voice and not much else. For standing on a table, it is absolutely useless. The speaker’s voice must be within 6 inches to pick up anything. It’s also very poor for a uni-directional microphone, it’s more omni-directional in practice. Not what I expected from what Sony brands a “uni-directional” microphone.
This is the last time Sony robs me. I will never again buy another Sony-branded proprietary piece of junk. Never again!

I’ve used this mic pretty strenuously for just over five years now, and it’s still going strong. I’ve used it with a Sony MZ-R700 recording minidisc Walkman and a Sony Hi-MD MZ-RH1 recording minidisc Walkman. It records the voice beautifully in every environment I’ve used it – including tours of industrial areas, dedications in the windy outdoors, presentations in bustling meeting rooms, and quiet interviews in closed offices. If you use it with these recorders, the compact size of the mic and the resulting quality of the recordings simply can’t be beat.

The wire at the point where it connects with the mike is too fragile. After 3 months it has lost contact and is useless to me now. Fixing it is a hassle and the minimum bench charge at the Sony store is prohibative.
