Richard, they did send me a replacement which I also had to return. I did not ask them to send me a third microphone.
I am not sure about the length of the warranty. I suspect the addition of the speaker switch will be harder to push for than a physical problem with the plug. Sighted users do not have to worry about voiceover and thus will likely use headphones only if they want to monitor or play back the recording in stereo. You can always unplug the microphone and hear it through the speaker if you’re just wanting to listen. But, I will make this known to the developer. It would be nice to come up with scenarios that would cause people who see to want this as well. I can do that, but if people have suggestions, perhaps they could write to me off list. Thanks.

Did they replace the microphones? How long is the warrantee? I agree there should be an option for VoiceOver through the speaker or the jack. Please write them and ask for that. They appear to actually consider feedback.

One thing I didn’t like about this microphone is that you needed to use headphones when you were using it because voiceover no longer comes from the phone or iPad speaker, but from the headphone connection on the microphone. I wanted something I could just slap on the phone and go, but having to always have headphones around was a bother for me. Also, I have owned two of these and they have both been returned. They occasionally made popping noises. It is quite possible that even though I was using it with the bottom of my case cut off so the microphone was as snug a fit as it could be, that there was some interruption of the signal because the lightning connecter seemed quite short. I’m not sure that this is the reason, but it would be nice to see what they have come up with as an adapter. But again, there is the need for headphones, which sometimes you would want and other tines not. An option to either play through headphones or speaker would be nice.

They know it does not work with cases like the Otterbox Defender. They also know it does not work with extension cables. The last line in their note said that an accessory may be coming down the line to resolve this.
