5 out of 5 stars Does Exactly As Promised   October 30, 2008

I got the TP-7 to used for recording phone calls as required by some new regulations in my business. When I started looking for solutions, I thought I would need a system that hooked into my phone system and was expensive. Then I came across this. It is so simple yet works great. You just plug it into your device ( I use it with the Olympus DS-40) and stick the other end into your ear. The earbud has a microphone on the opposite side that records the other person and it also records your own voice very well. The results are amazingly clear. I've used it without any problems with background noise or interferance. The thing that blows me away is that it is so simple. You can use this with any phone. I've used it with my land line and cell phone without any problems. This was the perfect solution for what I needed and I would highly recommend it.


4 out of 5 stars Works as advertised (only with Olympus voice recorders)   October 21, 2008

Using an Olympus voice recorder, along with the proper jack adapter included with the TP-7, you will have stereo playback when either listening to conference calls or transcribing interviews. I agree with other reviews that state that your own voice (when possibly asking questions) can become loud and muffled at times. But watching your tone of voice helps a bit.
Other than that, this product works very well.



1 out of 5 stars Beware of loud static in your recordings from cellular interference!   October 20, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this product thinking it would answer my needs for recording interviews conducted by cell phone.

However, after plugging the device into my Olympus digital voice recorder and doing a test run, I realized a major flaw. The recording was full of cell phone interference and was basically not listenable. It was the same sort of buzzing/static you often hear if your cell phone is in use near computer speakers.

It appears that this device offers no shielding from this electromagnetic interference. Considering that it was made to be used with cell phones, this is an enormous design flaw. From what I understand, this interference is present on all GSM phones and it definitely is present on my AT&T Blackberry.

A major letdown and I will be returning the product as a result. Hopefully I can find another recording option for use with cell phones.
