It’s surprising there aren’t more products like the iRig Mic on the market. The electret condenser microphone comes supplied with a mini-jack cable which plugs straight into your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch for instant results. A small adapter on the end of the cable provides a new headphone socket so you can still hear what you’re doing.

It’s certainly one of the easiest options for hooking a mic up to your iOS device, and provides reasonably good results on vocals and instruments. Core Audio support means it works with just about any music app.

If you don’t already have a mic or interface, it’s a neat all-in-one solution.
