If you are looking for a good microphone, this is the one to get. I was surprised by the excellent clarity this Mic had to offer. I rate this mic 5 stars , and I recommend it to anybody out there on the microphone search. Believe me, it's worth your money.

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.

I have had this microphone for about a year now and it works great! I use it to talk to friends on Yahoo.com and HearMe.com havent had a problem yet. The microphone plugs in and is ready to use right away no programing or tweaking requried. This microphone is very easy to use and comes with complete instructions. An overall great mic!

For the money, this mic does an excellent job. I just wanted a mic to e-mail my friends some sound and it preformed well. You sometimes have to work with the volume to dissolve some background noise, but overall it does a wonderful job.

This is an excellent mic for the money. I use mine primarily for voice chat, telephony, and net conferencing and it rocks hard. The cord is LONG too which make moving it around a breeze. I dont know about voice recognition because i dont use it for that but for voice chat and telephony it had excellent quality..you cant go wrong.

The microphone stand can only be adjusted in one plane, but otherwise this product is excellent in design and sound quality. The cord is conveniently long.

I bought this microphone thinking that it would be good for many applications. When i got home, i plugged it in and it was a huge disapointment. I had bought it for voice recognition. I had read good reviews on it and thats why i bought it in the first place. When i tried it with my voice recognition software, it only had 40 percent comphrehension. It said it wasn't compatible. then other voice recognition software had hardly any comprehension at all, i tried using it to do commands on my PC. The only thing this was good for was when i used it in sound recorder. To those who want to buy this, i suggest that you dont. What good is a mic that is only good for one application?

I use this mike all the time. It is easy to install and test out. It comes with no software but your PC should come with software if it has MS Windows 98 and a sound card. The sound quality is great.

My one year old daughter stuck it in her mouth one day and completely soaked the microphone with her drool. It wouldn't work at all but after I took it apart to drain out the drool and let it dry, it was as good as new.

I strongly recommend this microphone to anyone interested in a mic for a low price. The sound recorded by this mic is fantastic and isn't the slightest bit fuzzy and there is no hiss. I have used this microphone over Yahoo voicechat rooms, Phonefree, Net2Phone, and Intel Video Phone and in all instances the sound coming from my end was great. At its price, this mic can't be beat!

After having this microphone for a year and making music with it, I purchased a professional microphone for 120 dollars, and THAT one doesn't even compare to this one. The clarity is amazing - a lot of the noise is blocked out, and handle T, SH and other abrupt vocals pretty well without distortion (if used correctly). I recommend this microphone to everyone; whoever gives this less than 5 stars either has a bad sound card or doesn't know how to back off the mic. Recommended from someone who's been independently producing their music for a year now.
