Received mine yesterday; seems to be genuine and works fine.  Stereo separation adds spaciousness the internal mono mic lacks, but you need to play with the sensitivity setting a bit.  I got it on eBay.  Here is another one he has:

BTW-
Did yours come via USPS (mail)?

[steamfurnace]

Yes, mine came in the mail, in a little brown bubble wrap envelope.  It's surprising how small it is.

Got my hong kong surprise-it didn't work-so i took em apart-(it's just what i do) them screws are really tiny-connections a look good-then i realized i didn't turn the input power on. What a friggin' idiot

These little buggers sound GREAT- i did a little test track with my 12 string acoustic a little vox-played with the sensitivity and tried different mic placements (Location is everything) and wow
the best $1.90 I ever spent(plus shipping)
woohoo- i'm gonna have fun with these

I'm going to give mine it's first field test tomorrow at our band gig for St. Patrick's Day at a local pub.  I'm looking forward to checking the results Sunday afternoon!
