Otokinoko Binaural Recording Mic Looks Slightly Amusing, Records Well (I am Told)

While one might feel a tad ridiculous holding a microphone that has a pair of airs attached to it; this is one cool microphone. The Otokinoko Binaural Mic will give you realistic sound as the “ears” containing the microphones are placed in the same position as the ears on the average human head. In this way, sound is recorded as it is naturally heard.

• 1/8” mini audio out
• Includes grip + camera mount
• Binaural recording through mics in “ears”
• Manual: Japanese

Considering the price tag, I can certainly do without one of these, but if recording is your thing…

Price: $3899
