This microphone is of decent quality. You can have it stand on your computer desk, or you can attach it to your monitor.The microphone is adjustable. You can tilt it up to 90 degrees. I like to use it for voicemail. The sound quality is decent. At first you might think the quality is lower, but after you practice using it, the microphone sounds great. This microphone is great, and so is the price.

i don't own, but i have used this microphone, and I am looking forward to buying one for myslef! it has great sound/recording quality, and I would recommend it to anyone with a computer.

This is a decent quality microphone with above average sound. It sounded horrible at first, but it was due to the poor microphone input on the motherboard. After I tried an external sound blaster Extigy, the sound quality improved a lot.

Background noise level is about average. I do have to crank up the mic input level to maximum on the extigy, and on windows volume control to get decent sound level.

If you are using the build-in microphone input on your motherboard or a cheap sound card, the quality may suffer (ie, very low voice level, not clear at all).

This thing sounds ok as a voice recording mic and for transmitting speech over the net to other humans, but for things like speech recognition and anything where the computer itself may have to understand you, this thing is aweful. It does not do a good job at all of filtering out background noise. If you want a good speech recognition mic, go find yourself a decent headset that specializes in speech.

This mic lasted me only 10 months and I had bought it for $[a good price]. The sound quality is ok and you need to tune it through your audio wizard or sound can be very distorted. As someone else mentioned it was not a very good mic to use with speech recognition software but ok for conversations. Howerver, it just stopped working one day.

I have to be so near to this mike for it to broadcast over my computer's speakers that my breathing is picked up as well as my voice.
