Just saying, I'm glad I found this review, I don't know anyone else around me who uses this! I use this (BF-1B) for my violin, bass, and other random audio stuff. I am SUPER surprised at the quality, as I was skeptical because it came from... the place... but I was sold by it's slick design. Actually, even though I predicted it would be a sore thumb when attached, I knew it would actually be really nice for plugging into tightly bunched jacks. I ended up buying a little jack extender and did the same thing you did by placing it on the guitar strap, fastening it in place. It really is nice if you can manage that! The range, just as you said, is really reliable, and I can't believe there's basically no delay, like no kidding. Also, I've never had interference issues, even in some "noisy" atmospheres, maybe only once, but I think it was just because my make-shift attachment ensemble wasn't attached properly, haha. I love it, it's suuper sleek, it turns heads. But yes... that lollipop design, like... I love it, but if they made it with a swivel, that'd be perfect! I did also buy some angle jacks, but they were cheap so the BF just kept swinging down and I could feel it when I played, haha. Maybe if I had gotten some nice ones that didn't rotate inside the guitar jack... Anyway, this was a great review! Thanks for posting! It does seem that people are buying it on amazon again, but I can't find it on Amazon Japan! Just Amazon US!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! It is one of the most well recognized mic for a reason! And it is possible that you won’t find it on Amazon in other countries.
