OST-802 Lav: Which 3.5mm mic-in recorder?


Affinity

Recommended Posts

I recently purchased 2 OST-802 lav mics with with 3.5mm plugs for my Zoom H1 recorders.  I subjectively compared the OST lav's to the $25 Gaint Squid lavs I had and didn't really notice much of a difference.  I'm guessing my findings are more a commentary on the recorder (or my inability to evaluate) than they are on the microphones.  The recorder I've been looking at, because of reportedly better pre-amps and noise levels, is the Sony PCM-M10.  However, I don't want to spend a few hundreds just on an experiment (i.e., will the Sony recordings be that much better than the H1's?). 

Has anyone ever compared the mic in on H1 or H2 of H4N or whatever to the mic in on the Sony PCM-M10? 

The reason I bought the OST-802's with the 3.5mm termination is because I wanted to avoid the cost/complexity of a wireless system.
