Telephone Pick-Up Coil with Suction Cup, Features: Record Telephone Conversations on Any Tape Recorder with a 3.5 mm Microphone

My kid has one of those toy-review YouTube channels, and he uses this device to get clear audio off the toys he reviews, without the distortion or room noise/reverb he might get through the mic on his camera. It works great for that, fwiw!

My memory is not what it used to be. This microphone is simply suction cupped to the back of the phone receiver and plugged into my small recorder which records the whole conversation. When I hang up, I can then play back the tape and retrieve phone numbers, addresses and appointment times and any other details in the conversation. I had one of these some years ago and it got lost. I am very glad that I have found that someone still sells them. Fantastic device for me now at my older age and older memory.

I've purchased several of these, thinking maybe I just got a lemon on the first ones. They're all lemons. I've tried on numerous recording devices both in mono and connected through a stereo joiner cable. One of the three microphones records only the loudest sounds if I play music from my phone and have it connected by suction cup to the phone. The recording is torture to listen to with horrible buzz and distortion. I does not pickup anything at a conversation level of sound. These microphones are a horrible product. Do not buy!

it does work, but will be pretty useless unless your recording device has a good amplifier in it. fun to put near electronic devices to hear them think, or to record sounds from devices where disassembly is not desired or possible

The was surprised at the clarity of sound all all telephones in the house. The suction works well on a plastic phone, not a metal phone.

This mic would not work on our phone’s receiver due to the texture of the phone’s material. I feel the phone needs to have a very smooth surface for the suction to work. I have to use a rubber band to secure the mic to the receiver. The mic does pick up the sound and works well for the price.

Good Product for the Price

Works great! Suction is pretty standard, only reason I gave it 4 stars is I do know of other suction cups that have incredible strength that will work on virtually any surface, including textured and rough surfaces stuccoed & painted drywall, loose leather, etc. This just doesnt work on as wide a variety of surfaces.
