3 out of 5 stars You May Like it, but Your Vista May Not   November 10, 2009

It's a decent microphone. I thought that getting a USP-microphone would be a better choice than the standard audio jack variety; but as is true with so many things that seem simple enough, trying to get it to work with Vista is an unnecessary difficulty. Installation for Vista is absent from the simple instructions in the booklet, leading me to believe that this microphone pre-dates it. Nonetheless, I forced my computer to accept the device by deactivating its own, inferior, built-in microphone. It works now; but I use it primarily with language-learning software so I have very little comment on the quality of its recordings. For the purpose of the language software, it is a great improvement over the built-in microphone.

Several reviews stated that this mic didnt work with Windows Vista. Its important to make sure Windows is fully updated before installation of the mic. I did that and the mic installed & works perfectly. Be sure to read all the reviews. Do yourself a favor & research companies & prices since several companies offer this item & prices vary. Its unfortunate such inexpensive items require such pricey shipping charges. But they just dont offer these mics in stores. I havent had an opportunity to use this for recording but for voice chats it is sufficient. I purchased this mic brand new as a gift but would certainly buy another one for myself. Id avoid any refurbished items for future reference. I hope this helps.

I bought this baby after looking around for a USB mike (my regular, pink mike port was giving me problems) and was quite satisfied. It's not as big as it seems in the pictures, but not too small. The recording quality is great. Never gives me any issues; all in all, great mike.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent for online games   October 25, 2009

I started playing DDO with an RL friend recently, and he wanted to use the integrated voice comm in the game. I've got a 5.1 surround setup in my bedroom and play wirelessly on my HDTV, and I didn't want to mess around with using a headset for sound. So I took the mic portion of the headset and was using that, but apparently my audio was kind of atrocious, and they'd hear a lot of the game sounds and even ambient music in the game.

So I purchased this for that situation, because it purports to have noise canceling. My friend immediately noticed the difference and even asked if I'd turned off the music, but the audio quality on this mic really struck home when another party member was trying to adjust his microphone and I asked him to contrast my friend and myself. He said my friend sounded good if a little loud, and I "sounded like I was in the room with him". That was a pretty huge compliment on my audio quality, and it the allocates rest solely with this microphone.

I was concerned that the mic wouldn't be able to cut it in the realm of online gaming with sound coming out of speakers rather than headphone, but experience tells me that it'll work just fine. And if it works in that kind of environment, then it'll work for the 80% of you who just want to Skype.

My laptop's built-in mic and jack have a constant buzzing sound, so I bought this USB mic for using a voice chat application. It works very well. It's base is actually made of metal, so it stays put. It was automatically recognized by Windows 7.
