I ordered this microphone on the basis that it was compatible with virtually any sound card and the fact that it was a snip, compared with similar products for two times or more the cost. I tried it when I received it with my RealPlayer, and I was amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the sound. It also works well on the voice chat rooms; I tried it on Yahoo, and I always got a quick response, while others' mics were constantly screeching and buzzing. I think this is one of the best microphones I've seen in ages.
