Yes, I tried using the splitter. Und das für mich größte Problem: KEINESFALLS DEN SCHLÜSSEL AN EINEM SCHLÜSSELBUND BEFESTIGEN! I do think its overpriced for the necessity to still edit, but it definitely is better than the internal mic, especially post audio editing. I am sure you will not be dissapointed. I took a risk to buy a 1/2 smaller size, the shoes was tight on the first day, and then stretched out to a very comfortable level. But hey i do what i gotta do to make it through a shift. All my belongings are dry. Switching to electronica like Makoto, Foreign Concept, BCee, Icicle, Blu Mar Ten & DRS - The View the Qs come alive, snappy, punchy, sharp but with really lovely deep unstrained bass! I also like that the top comes up a bit higher than a regular ballerina style. Please look at another manufacturer for good gear.
