I bought this mic when I was browsing for something I could record my demos over. It really picks up good quality sounds! Very light and easy to hold in your hands for long periods of time. I rated it 4, however, because it isn't loud enough, unless you use Windows' Microphone booster. But other than that, you can't get much better, unless you plan on spending alot more money. Good buy.

I have studied and compared features, purchased other microphones that I had to return for just not 'measuring up' but this is the hands down winner for great quality at an excellent price! I use it with my camcorder to eliminate background noise, I use it on my computer for narration with my video editing program, and I use it with my daughter's kareoke machine for great voice quality. I used to hate hearing my recorded voice but this microphone makes my voice sound deep and rich! I love it!!

   I purchased two of these microphones as part of my PC karaoke setup, and while pleased with the price as well as the feel of the microphone, I encountered problems with microphone loudness - the mircophone is just not that loud. Even with the input volume maxed out, you have to put your lips right against the mic and speak fairly loudly for it to register.
   I tested the mic on multiple computers and compared it to other microphones (namely the headset that came with Dragon Naturally speaking) just to be sure it wasn't specific to the Karaoke PC and had the same results.

It does the job well if you are trying to record something to your PC, but if you are looking for something for karaoke, I suggest you look else where. The F-V320 feels rather light and sounds quite weak.

The sound is good. But it is not heavy enough. Don't feel it is of a good quality though.
