I've build two of these capsules into a head band, and used it for
concert recordings with my little Sony Professional Walkman in the 80's,
this gave my quite nice live recordings. Best of the pack was a
recording with Bobby McFerrin solo in Berlin...
It had two advantages, it wasn't obvious that I was recording, and I had
a damn good quality. Disadvantage was, that I was distracted from
actually listening to the music freely, thats why I gave up doing that
pretty fast...
