VIDEO: Audio Comparisons Review! Must WATCH!
By Taylor Thompson on May 20, 2012
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging Verified Purchase
Length: 2:15 Mins
Hey guys,

I figured this would help you to see the difference in audio quality between the USB Microphone, a Logitech C910 Webcam Microphone, and a built in laptop microphone.

The USB microphone is far superior. Be sure to watch the video below, and if this review was helpful, THUMBS it up so other people can see it.

"Volumes" of praise
By Melanie Gilbert VINE VOICE on January 27, 2006
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging 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.

Excellent microphone; questionable negative Amazon reviews
By Edward F. Shimkus on November 8, 2011
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging Verified Purchase
Before purchasing a product, especially electronics, I read Amazon and technical reviews, review the manufacturer's documentation, and determine if the product will satisfy my needs.

A cursory glance at Amazon reviews of the Logitech USB microphone immediately discloses that 21% are less than favorable (1-3 star rating) - a significant number - which, prudence dictates, should be considered. The following accomplishes that end and is presented in no particular order and assumes a properly functioning microphone, i.e., it is not defective. I run Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 in a custom machine.

1. Driver conflicts or faulty drivers. The Logitech USB microphone DOES NOT install any drivers, i.e., it relies on existing, native OS USB drivers. As a consequence, any lack of functionality, related to drivers, issues from one's configuration, which includes installed software.

2. Does not work with one's OS. As in number 1, above, this is always an issue which has its source within one's configuration, installed software, or conflicts therewith. By design, the Logitech USB microphone is simply a USB PNP device that handshakes with and operates via one's OS. On its site, Logitech lists the OSs and versions with which the microphone is compatible.

3. Have to have the microphone very close to one's mouth. This is always a function of one's sound configuration, either that found within Windows and integrated audio or related to one's sound card. This is especially true with Windows 7 whose default sound setup does not produce the best results with the USB microphone. There are ample discussions and suggested configurations of USB/sound setup on the Net related to various Windows and Linux versions pertaining to noise cancelling USB microphones.

Oh my... this thing works beautifully!
By liebesy on October 14, 2005
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
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!

Stellar Performance at a Budget Price
By John Daily on April 19, 2006
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging Verified Purchase
I'm a bit perplexed at another review that stated the microphone does not work with Windows XP (Service Pack 2); in fact, it almost prevented me from purchasing. Nevertheless, I took a chance, and I'm glad I did. All I had to do was plug the jack in, and I was off and running.

Sound quality is best at about 6 inches away, although tone is muted a bit. I was very impressed, however, at the complete absence of background noise - despite the fact that my washer and dryer were both running, and my wife and kids were talking and watching television only a few feet away. For my weekly podcast, this is the perfect choice.

Interweb research shows the next best microphone to be in the $60-$80 price range so the $20 price makes the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone a no-brainer.

As for that Service Pack 2 issue, it's possible that the difficulty was the result of another problem (such as a conflict), or it's possible an update has rendered the problem obsolete. In any case, mine worked right out of the box. Highly recommended.

Voice recognition
By Alvin on August 11, 2005
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
This microphone is being used with Dragon Naturally Speaking Medical Version. It has excellent voice recognition qualities. I needed to get the microphone off my head and get away from the wire. It has a pause button that lets Dragon continue working while you talk or think.
