Question
I use my iPhone 4 to go jogging and at some point the built-in mic has gotten damaged and the only way to talk to people is via an earbud with mic.
I am looking for a desk charger which also has a high-quality mic so that I can take calls from my desk, hands-free. Does anyone know of a suitable product?
Solution
There is no product that provides a stand and charger with a mic, but there are several external mics you can clip onto the iPhone. Some (lower quality) use the headphone jack, and some (higher quality) use the 30-pin docking port.
Here are two examples:
This mic uses the headphone jack.
This mic uses the docking port, but has a pass-through USB connection that permits charging while the mic is in use.
OTHER TIPS
I'd recommend using Apple's own dock. There's an audio plug which will allow you to plug in any microphone you like, either directly (if it's iPhone compatible) or with a breakout cable.
Then you can connect any non-USB microphone you like.
