4.0 out of 5 stars Dependable and CHEAP!, November 7, 2005

So you must be in the market for a microphone if you are reading this. Depending on what you want out of a mic, this might be a great bargain choice. I recently tested 30+ of these Sony F-V100 Mics and every single one worked--nice and clean sounding in a streamlined lightweight package.

Pros:
Price (Under $10)
Dependable--very durable
Good audio quality
No on/off switch (less to break)
Lightweight (easy for kids to hold)
9.8 foot cord


Cons:
No on/off switch
Low volume for some uses
Mostly plastic build instead of metal

So if you are looking for an easy to use and durable mic on a budget, this should be exactly what you need. If you have requirements that do not amp the mic much, then you will need a more expensive mic.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor quality, not even good to use as a toy!, June 15, 2010

I bought this to use as a second microphone for the kids' karaoke machine so two could sing together. I thought the "quality" of the sound wouldn't matter since I was just buying it to use it with my kids toy. Boy was I wrong. The kids fight over using the other one that came with the karaoke singing machine, which is far superior. This one is really a piece of crap and they can barely hear themselves singing when they use it. Don't buy it for any reason. It stinks!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the $$, April 13, 2010

Purchased one of these for use with students and inexpensive DV camcorders. Works fine - sounds ok. What do you want for $10?! Is it a pro-quality mic? No, of course not - but it sure sounds much better than the on-camera microphone. Works like a charm and for my wallet.
