Comes with 3.5mm monaural plug, tiepin clip, and extension cord. Review: Best noise cancelling mic for hands free phone calls - I installed third party chinese car android, for bluetooth hands free calls, i tried many mics but no use, after so much searching i found this mic, moment of truth the noise cancelling mic worked, it tried eliminating thee car background noise, my phone calls are much better. High price, but the noise cancelling worked. Review: I tested this an Olympus WS-823 voice recorder , which does supply the excitation voltage required by this mic. For some reason, Olympus doesn't promote this unit with pictures of all its included accessories which make it an even better value than it appears to be. The ME-52W package includes not only the microphone (which has an adjustabl;e head which is often not explained in advertising, but a 3 foot cable and lapel kit. In other words you have everything you need for very versatile usage. I tried it as a lapel mic first with the microphone between 6 and 10 inches from my mouth and the head pointed toward my lips.I used an AM talk show as a source of background noise. I recorded with the radio on and off. The ME-52W is very directional with excellent noise reduction. Obviously, it doesn't completely eliminate background noise, but it does very definitely reduce it. By the way, I did not tinker with the WS-823's own recording environment toggles which I suspect would have increased the background noise rejection. I then tried it literally as a hand mic, holding it 2 - 3 inches from my mouth as the Olympus instructions suggest. My background noise source, that AM talk show,was directly to the rear of the microphone. Again excellent rejection characteristics. Next I tried it as a hand-held directional microphone. Using the normal record mode on the WS-823, the recorded audio was listenable, but on the weak side. setting the WS-823 to "lecture" mode, intended for lecture situations in large rooms and auditoriums, the audio was excellent. In all, a very good microphone especially if you take the time to optimize your recorder's settings. Two minor negatives. The lapel clip Olympus supplies is ridiculous. It has a bright chrome plating which makes the ME-52W unsuitable for video recording since the clip could be used an an aircraft landing system with the way it reflects light. Some judiciously applied black tape takes care of the problem and another as well. Whether it is the chrome plating or something else, the clip is so slippery that opening the jaws and keeping them open until you want to close them is a hassle. The clip constantly wants to launch itself into orbit. Next, the supplied windscreen - a welcome provision, by the way, is a shade too big for the barrel. You can use either a tie to secure it or double-sided adhesive tape on the barrel. If you use tape, be sure not to cover up the two slits toward the rear of the barrel: t7hey are needed for effective noise cancellation. Overall an excellent, very versatile microphone at a very attractive price.And, yes, the audio quality was very good to excellent in all instances of my testing.

One supplier of such adaptors is Their web-site describes the configuration of the jacks in the Apple devices, and lists a number of adaptors and cables to connect unpowered electret microphones, such as this Olympus ME-52W, to them. **Q: can this be used with a regular pc computer?** A: In most cases, no. The reasons are discussed in my comments on this microphone, the first one on this page.The audio inputs in most computers are not intended for microphones. They are "high-level" inputs, requiring at least one volt of audio (from the output of an MP3 player, a radio, or an amplifier), and this microphone is a "low-level" device, that delivers only about .1 volt or so. In addition, this microphone requires "excitation voltage" of between 1.5 and 10 volts, which is not available from the audio-input jacks in most computers, for the reason just described.To be used in most computers, this mic requires a "pre-amplifier" that supplies the necessary voltage. However, iPads, iPhones, and iPods supply that voltage, but they have non-standard jacks, and an adaptor is required to operate this microphone in those devices.Finally, this microphone is a monophonic device, so a mono-to-stereo splitter adaptor is required, unless the recording device has a built-in switch to accommodate mono inputs. These adaptors are available at electronics stores and Radio Shack, Walmart, and Best Buy.The simplest solution for use on computers is a USB microphone. **Q: can use with android device?** A: Yes. I just tested it with my phone - a Motorola Razr Maxx HD running Android 4.1.2. The sound quality is great. **Q: can this mic be plugged directly into a computer microphone jack, or does it require some other recording device?** A: Yes, I use it for hands free mic in my car. This is a pretty decent mic for the money. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best noise cancelling mic for hands free phone calls *by R***O on 11 January 2026* I installed third party chinese car android, for bluetooth hands free calls, i tried many mics but no use, after so much searching i found this mic, moment of truth the noise cancelling mic worked, it tried eliminating thee car background noise, my phone calls are much better.

Jerry ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by P***7 on 13 December 2015* Je possède déjà un micro de ce type, j'en suis toujours très satisfait : exemple enregistrement de conférencier ( le mono suffit ) sans trop accrocher les bruits de l'assistance ( attention, si en fin de conférence ils y a des questions posées par l'assistance, on ne les entend pratiquement pas et il faut prévoir une deuxième source d'enregistrement ). Petit détail : la bonette qui faisait partie du lot il y a 2 ans n'est plus fournie ( elle était de piètre qualité il est vrai ). ATTENTION : n' achetez pas les bonettes mousses Rycote 105501 qui sont beucoup trop petites pour ce micro, ( je viens d'en faire les frais ). ## Frequently Bought Together - Olympus ME-52 Noise-Cancellation Microphone for Digital Voice Recorders - OM SYSTEM OLYMPUS Voice Recorder DM-720 with 4GB, Micro SD Slot, USB Charging, Direction PC Connection, Transcription Mode, Silver - AGPTEK Carrying Case, EVA Zipper Carrying Hard Case Cover for Digital Voice Recorders, MP3 Players, Storage Holder for 3D Printing Pen, USB Cable, Earphones, Memory Cards, U Disk, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/276347871-olympus-me-52w-noise-canceling-microphone](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/276347871-olympus-me-52w-noise-canceling-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
