It would appear the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.griffintechnology.com\/products\/lapelmic\/\">Griffin Lapel Mic<\/a> is very sensitive and when swivelled into a vertical position for stealth purposes picked up the down-draught from my nostrils, making me sound like an asthmatic toad. Lovely.<\/li>\n<li>Likewise, you definitely need some sort of furry windshield for the mic because there was little more than a breeze, yet it sounded at times like I was in a hurricane.<\/li>\n<li>Dreadful sound quality on the music &#8211; I thought I had the levels right at first, but my car stereo automatically raises the volume when you go above a certain speed. You don&#8217;t notice this yourself because that&#8217;s the point. At 22 kilohertz you have a narrower range of frequencies than real life &#8211; hence the crackling &#8211; not the iRiver or mic&#8217;s fault<\/li>\n<li>I chose the supermarket because I thought it would be noisy enough that I didn&#8217;t feel self-conscious.
