This is the second version in the Blue Mikey series, and the sequel gets a few nice additions that we’’ll come to in a bit, but the size and shape stays roughly the same; it measures 635 x 635 x 127mm making it pretty much half the size of an iPod touch.
On the tech side of things you’ll get two Blue-engineered custom-tuned capsules for stereo recording, and (the new) 3.5mm line-input means you can record from other sound sources, whilst the (also new) USB pass-through means you can charge when recording - very handy. In our tests the sound was decent; voices were nice and clear and music recorded was dealt with similarly. If we were being picky then we’d say the mic feels a little flimsy and light, but as the sound was good we can forgive this and it makes sense not to have a heavy device sitting on the end of your iPod.
