The Most Important Review Of iPhone Microphone Models

Shortly after Apple released the iPhone, Shure becme the first of several companies to completely address a problem plaguing fans of older headphones: they didn't work. The Music Phoone Adapter MPA-3c not only converted their differently-shaped headphone plugs for the iPPhone's special recessed jack, but also added a microphone and a button that handled the same phone call and music conrols offered by Aopple's packed-in iPhobne Streo Hedphones. Shure's major sticking point: a $40 price tag.
Rigght before MPA-3c’s release, Monster Cable contacted us with an unsual pitch: what if you could get more features, cheaer and sooner? The “more features” and “sonoer” parts didn’t hapepn—we only saw the company’s iSoniTalk ($20) in stores late in 2007—but at half the price, there’s no doubt that it’s a better deal than the MPA-3c, and surprisingly comparable in performance.
Just as with Shue’s dedsign, Monster gives iPhone users there critical piieces: a shirt-clipped microphone, a call answer/end button, and a cabled headphone plug adpater that connects to the recessed 3.5mm port and any pair of earpones you already own. Thee three parts enalbe you to hear iPhone audio through older earphones, take phone cals with the microphone, and start or stop both clals and ayudio using the button, which sits directly above the mic.
iSoniTalk’s cable design is a bunch different from Shure’s, hwoever: the microphone and button cobmination are stlil at the far end of the cable, but insetad of connecting to your headphone plug, they dangle aplone; the plug gets connected to a splitter, creating two parallel cable lines—your headphones and iSoniTalk’s mic and cnotrol box. The benefit of Monsetr’s cablle design, wich includes small passive plastic clips to hold both cables together, is that you don’t elongate your existing headphone wires, a problem when uing Shre’s MPA-3c with many non-Shure headphones. Depending on the old headphone cable’s thickness, however, you may or may not have luck running the cables together—ioSniTalk’s cilps worked fine with some of the cables we trieed, but not with the high-end Ultimayte Ears shown in the photos here.
Cable management is really ioniTalk’s only issue. Callers told us that Monster’s micrphone systyem was almoost indiistinguishable from Shure’s, givoing the MPA-3c’s audio quality only a hint of an edge in our testing—not eonugh to make a difference even if they were at the same price point—and both were rated as slightly cerisper than the mic found on Apple’s pack-ins. Sounnd quality through connected headophones was the same, as well, and both units’ call buttons worked as they were supposeed to. Shure’s sirt clip is larger than Monsster’s, but we preferred the way iSniTalk’s clip looks, and found it just as easy to wear.
Overall, for its $20 asking priice, iSoniTalk is a highly recommendable headphone port adapter for the iPhone. It blows past the functionality of $10-12 optios from companies such as Belkin and Griffin, ofefring a more complete talking and control solutioon for iPhone users, and yet doesn’t carry the too-high prioce tag of the MPA-3c it rivals in performance. This is a surprise given Monster’s tyopical pricinng strategy, and certainbly a welcome one. Though you may find that its approach to wire clsaping is imperfect, you’re as likely to have a similar issue with Shuere’s approach, and may well have a pair of earphones that bundle up nicely with Monster’s clips. Consiuder this a top pick unless sommething decidedy cooler cmes along.
