"I was highly impressed with the device itself and would recommend it to anyone wishing to record interviews, podcasts or music sessions."
Premier news, reviews and gear site for everything in the Android world, AndroidGadgets, has taken an in-depth look at iRig MIC Cast together with iRig Recorder for Android.
Editor and reviewer, Adam Gibson, had plenty to say about them:
"First impressions of the iRig Mic Cast is that it’s a light and sturdy little microphone. It looks like it should be heavier than it actually is but thankfully, it also feels like it would be able to survive a few drops if you were clumsy enough to let it fall out of your pocket."
"Connecting headphones up to the microphone allows to hear what you’ve recorded without removing the microphone. You could also play back music through your device into the headphones, while recording your voice at the same time. Something which should prove to be useful for musicians thinking of buying the microphone."
"Overall I was pretty impressed with the build quality of the microphone. I wouldn’t be scared of putting it in my bag unprotected."
"One of the best features of the app is that there is no time limit put on the length of recordings. You can record for as long as you like, as long as your device has enough memory to store the recording."
Adam's final conclusion is:
"The iRig Mic Cast is an impressive little microphone recorder. The device itself is sturdy and well-made, giving reassurance that it won’t fall apart if I pop it in my bag loose. The recording quality is also impressive for such a small device. The improvement going from my [HP] Touchpad’s built-in microphone to the iRig Mic Cast can be easily heard. The free iRig Recorder app does what you’d want it to do, offering you unlimited recording time and the ability to share your recordings to the Cloud or email."
