Logitech USB Desktop Microphone—Your easy call for clear conversations

Thanks to the Internet, free voice calls are as close as your computer. And with the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone, your voice sounds so clear, it's like you're in the same room with faraway family, friends and business associates. Designed with sound-enhancing USB audio technology, this sleek microphone makes sure your voice is heard in crystal clear detail. Just plug the standing mic into your USB port and you're ready to talk. No software to download. No settings to adjust. This is as simple as clear calling gets.




Key Features





Enhanced USB audio quality and simplicity
Experience pure, clear digital sound with the simplicity of a single USB connection. No drivers to download. Just plug the microphone into your computer and you're set to chat.




More clarity, less noise
Calling from a noisy room? No worries. Your microphone filters out distracting background sounds so your voice always comes across crisp and clear.




Power switch illuminates when microphone is on
You won't have to ask, "Is the mic on?" The power switch lights up so you'll always know when the microphone is live. The one-touch button on the base let you quickly mute or un-mute the microphone as well.




Pivoting design adjusts to you
Tilt the microphone toward you or wherever it picks up your voice best. The weighted base keeps the mic stable, even if you position it at an extreme angle.



Eight-foot cord for extra calling freedom
Ideal for group calls, the long USB cord lets you easily move the microphone to the middle of the conference table so everyone can be heard.

    "Volumes" of praise January 27, 2006
    Product Packaging:Retail|Amazon Verified Purchase
    Thanks to the reviews posted here, I bought this microphone. It's awesome and I highly recommend it to other Amazon electronics consumers - especially at this price.

    In addition to the sleek look-and-feel, feather-light design, on-off illuminated button (so you can keep it plugged in but not active or use as mute button while recording - see Customer Images), its best feature is the 8-foot long cord which allows amazing flexibility and range despite being anchored via the USB port to your computer. For me, that one simple design component speaks "volumes" about the overall design quality of this product.

    This microphone is recommended for voice - not music - recording. But I found the music playback perfectly acceptable, especially as a background track.

    The installation is as easy as plugging it into your USB port. Software is freely available via download.com and then by searching for EXPStudio Audio Editor Free 3.93, which features multiple track capabilities (background music with voice-over). Using your computer, the software and this microphone, you definitely can create your own in-house recording studio.

    First, I had some doubts about reviews below for the performance of this mic.
    I got this thing today, and my... let me apologize to reviewers below. This thing works beautifully!
    I put this mic about a feet away from my mouth(bit more than a feet... right next to where I use mouse with my right hand), and spoked a few words in normal voice level(maybe a bit lower) while my air conditioner was making some noise. When I played the recording back, the voice was captured loud and clean. This mic is outstanding with reasonable price tag!

    My daughter is an aspiring pop singer. Neither of us has alot of tech ability. We wanted something simple to use so we could record her singing on the computer. After viewing several options we decided to purchase the Logitech.

    The mic arrived assembled in its package. All we had to do was figure out how to plug it in the computers USB port. Next we followed the booklets instructions to go to sound recorder in programs and click the record button. Easy enough since it clearly described where to find this in the instruction booklet. She sang a snippet and the book says if you press play and hear your voice it works (yes the book actually says this).

    Well we clicked play and heard her voice - crystal clear. Very simple!

    The microphone looks odd in the picture, but its actually very sleek. Its shaped like a noodle and about 9 inches tall. Its very slim. Because it pivots forwards and backwards on the base its easy to adjust. The base has a button to turn it on and off. My daughter is used to a traditional mic but she enjoyed this one.

    Great little mic for the money!
