It's identical to one I bought some years ago. In my opinion it's designed
for and OK for use with a note-taking recorder and gives clear recordings,
but for half-serious audio I've found Yoga tie-pin mikes (e.g. their EM-1)
much less "toppy", and more generally useful. But it's your ears that need
pleasing...

This is a $14.99 toy, maybe useful for casual speech recording.

For PA use, this type of mic is typically used taped to the cheek-bone
or on the hairline. It's of minimal use mounted on a tieclip or
lapel, except perhaps for spoken voice reinforcement where no foldback
is needed and there is no other sound source.
