THIRD time writing this...here we go (i kept closing the window accidentally!?)

Aim: Incognito first, then good audio. $150 is budget but willing to pay more if you think it is worth it! :)

I want to record field recordings, out and about, exaggerated L/F, scalp massages, and maybe even EAR videos! :o

ATM I am probably leaning towards Ambeo/Lifelike

Hooking these up to a zoom first will yield better results but, oh well ... maybe in future I'll get that too... ;)

Links are to give a rough idea on sound, it depends how these people edited the sound and their recording conditions and any third party apps or even attachments....but an IDEA of what each would sound like...

1- ROLAND
2- HOOKE
3- AMBEO
4- LIFELIKE

I kind of liked the Roland one the most but It's hard to gauge just how much of an impact that the adapters and extra stuff had on the final audio slice. Otherwise I feel like the Sennheiser even if a bit bulky had a good baseline that you could work with. I liked the Scenes mic too but there was something that I just couldn't put my finger on that made me prefer the alternative. It could very well but just me still waking up haha. And with the Hooke mic, I just preferred the Sennheiser over it

the adapters have to be used with the roland! It's to make it work with an iphone. :) So far roland is in the lead, i'll have to look up the exact adapters i need now!

Hey Leukos! I had a local area sell the Sennheiser really cheap i just had to take it up, i like the easy "plug n play" aspect and LOW white noise, so i feel it was probably the best choice! Excited to get it next week!!
