IK Multimedia has announced their newest addition to their already growing line of iRig adapters, the iRig PRE. It’s a high quality microphone preamp that connects your favorite studio mics to your iOS device. This adapter is the first of its kind, taking a standard XLR connector and plugging it straight into the headphone port of your iOS device. You can expect to see it pop up in early Q2 2012 for $39.99.

Your iDevice might have a pretty decent microphone in it already, but surely you know you can do better. One of your options is IK Multimedia’s newly announced iRig Mic Cast. It’s an ultra-compact voice recording microphone aimed at recording interviews, podcasts, memos and more. Its simple design plugs right into the headphone port on your iDevice, even if there’s a bumper on your iPhone 4/4S. It’s coming soon for $39.99.

At the WWDC Keynote, Steve Jobs drew heavy applause when he announced the iPhone 3G headphone jack will be flush, not recessed as on the current iPhone. As I stated in our coverage, the response clearly illustrated just how passionate iPhone users can be, and how boneheaded Apple’s design team can be. But, surely no one will upgrade to the iPhone 3G just to get a flush headphone jack, right? Right?! Of course, not. At least, not as long as we’re also still dealing with Apple’s external microphone being placed on those horrid earbud headphones.

Thankfully, Griffin and JAVOedge are here with their Headphone Adapter for iPhone and Handsfree Stereo Headset Adapter, respectively. This is good because, considering the new iPhone purchase policy, it may be quite some time before I’ll own an iPhone that allows me to use my headphones of choice.

Reviews after the break.
