"We turned up some loud music and spoke into the microphone from a distance of about a foot and a half. This was basically me sitting in my bedroom with some loud music playing while relaxing on my work chair and setting the iPhone on my computer desk. My voice was loud and clear on both settings (hi and low)."
Here are quotes from the review of iRig Mic Cast from iSmashPhone:
"The iRig Mic Cast itself is about the size of a quarter, but rectangular. It’s about as thick as the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S. It will easily fit in your pocket or laptop bag while on the go."
"We also tried it out in different environments. It obviously works well in a quiet room, but we found that background noise isn’t much of an issue with this microphone. Under ideal circumstances, the persons speaking will be closer to the microphone’s diaphragm than the outside noise. We turned up some loud music and spoke into the microphone from a distance of about a foot and a half. This was basically me sitting in my bedroom with some loud music playing while relaxing on my work chair and setting the iPhone on my computer desk. My voice was loud and clear on both settings (hi and low).
"Also cool is the small iPhone stand that is included in the package. This prevents us from having to hold the handset upright to get a decent recording."
