In Summary
If you are looking for an excellent performing mic for your iPhone for doing things like podcasts, voice recordings, etc you can not go wrong with the MA5L. For under 50$ this is a must have accessory for anyone using their iPhone for audio recordings. I do wish that this had a passthrough port to allow charging for the phone while using the mic, but that is a small quibble compared to what you get for the price.
