This microphone is compact and easy to use on a variety of portable stereo recorders dealing with cassette, MD, and DAT formats. The sound reproduction is very good for such an affordable product.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this to record live music concerts. I recorded a band at an outdoor event, and the sound was extremely distorted. Bass in particular. The built microphone on my phone sounded better.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Why I got it: Sony has a reputation for quality. That was a big plus for this microphone. I have noticed with Sony products that the audio tends to accentuate the high-mids in the spectrum. Even knowing that, I couldn't resist the compact size of this stereo microphone. What I wanted it for was to use as an extension to the microphone on my video camera (Canon - not Sony). Video cameras tend to pick up my voice and breathing really well... too well... while moderately more distant subjects, say like the people I'm filming, are too quiet. Using an external microphone, and one pitched forward will fix some of that problem. What went wrong: Just plugging in the microphone into the camera proved that it was not going to work at all. Everything was silent. I used the Sony microphone in my laptop and it worked fine. I have recording software that I use for my guitars and in a pinch this little microphone would work great to capture a musical idea or for a field recording where I could use my laptop to record room noise. So, as a stereo microphone, it worked great, but not for the application that I got it for. Where it will work: The Sony ECM-DS70P needs to plug into a device that accepts mic level inputs.

I bought it because I gave mine to my daughter to use on her Sony recorder. Found it to be very cheap on EBAY. Had the feature of either plugging directly into my Sony digital recorder or by supplied extension cable. Has stereo capability for my recorder and previous one worked with surprisingly good fidelity and image separation. I have used this once for music recording and it did the job. I would buy another if needed.
I feel like for the money I paid for this item I love it.The product is made by Sony a reputable name worldwide for Good products.The purpose I use it for is recording with my Digital Recorder(Boss Micro Br) and it works Great.There really isn't any competition for a small stereo condenser microphone for personel use on the market that works as well as this one.You can also use it on your laptop or desktop computer with a cable extension and record in stereo which is a much better quality over mono.This mic is very good about not picking up other noises except what it is aimed at.I highly recommend it to the musician or hobbyist or just for video conferencing.
