Excellent demo comparison, I was looking for a binaural set at the time and=
 these fitted the bill. ( thanksm for the kind words).. Will do something q=
uieter ASAP.

Just to say they have a few video reviews on YouTube.   I have no associati=
on with any microphone manufacturer just been keen to get started and share=
 experiences.

Not sure if I posted this link, a town centre park not much editing done th=
ough I broke all the post processing rules by using a volume gain setting i=
n a compressor.  As I did with the others, not doing that anymore!

The rain is the quietest I have online right now.

There are quieter mics, but I roll off at 16K and that sorts anything.


Justntomadd thatntheyalso have a more directional version of the stereo bin=
aural set. They terminate at a 3.5mm jack and some recorders will need the =
optional preamp and maybe even a splitter! I hate the connections, but hey =
I get the result..

If you have more money better options will exist of course..
