If you are just looking for an inexpensive mic for your PC, then this will do. I have had mine for a while now and use it for making phone calls and recordind wav. files. I would not recomend this if you are going to rely on it for communicating a lot or making good recordings. You can't beat it for the price though.

I got mine for $10. It's a very good mic. It looks nice, it's light, it's doesn't fall down, it's adjustable and it stays where you adjust it, and it records good. I recomend this mic to anyone who just wants a simple, cheap microphone for their computer.

Anyone who thinks that it doesn't record good or doesn't work is wrong. It's their fault it doesn't work. Most microphones have the same performance, so cost and other small variables are what counts.

It humors me to find how many people had problems with such a fine piece of equipment. PEOPLE! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS MIC! If the mic has "bad recording quality" or "doesn't work" blame yourself before you blame the mic, because 9 times out of 10 the user fails, not the equipment. I'm not calling anyone stupid, I just think that you should give it a chance before you incorrectly attemp to use something and in turn throw it away and call it trash. I actually planned on buying a Labtec 303 from Amazon.com with some new Panasonic RPHTX7 headphones that I purchased, however, while digging through some of my mom's old office computer stuff I came across the Labtec 504. I plugged it into my mic jack and set the base BEHIND my monitor, allowing the tip of the mic to sit just under the front logo of my LCD (it works from anywhere not just in front of you). There's probably 2.5 ft between me and the mic and I have had absolutely no problems with it, and it sounds even better than the mic on my HP headset! It picks up a little of my CPU Fans but is expected as I have them turned all the way up and they are also 2 ft from the mic on TOP of my desk. I would pay up to $15 for this mic, because the quality is great for the money, and that's really all that counts (this mic outperforms Ventrilo & Teamspeak, meaning the quality of the sound it picks up is reduced when used over the internet as with all PC microphones). I hope this helps and again I'm not attempting to make fun of anyone I just don't want such an inexpensive and useful product to be thrown away.
