2.0 out of 5 stars Sub-par, August 10, 2006

By	Sio-wai Hoi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a tenor who use pc to record my vocal. This mic is just so-so, slightly better than a chat-mic. My major complaint about it is that it apparently does not have a 'pop' filter that reduces explosive noise due to proximity and breathing. If you're serious about getting your vocal performance recorded nicely, this mic is not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job for casual performance, January 6, 2007

By	heymon32 (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews

I bought this mic because I wanted to make a homemade karaoke system. A mic, music devocalizer, and nice speakers does the trick. I couldn't get two mics to work together but I'm working on that. As for quality, it is somewhat quiet but you can always turn up your volume for that. Plus, many people don't realize that PCs don't run mic sound through the speakers on default. You go to the Volume Control Panel for that and check the box Microphone. The only two problems I see with this are it's sensitivity for bass (even knocking the cord around gets picked up) and that you have to hold it close to your mouth (maybe a result of mediocre uni-directional engineering). Either way, it works for random fun nights of singing with friends but I doubt people doing real recording would trust this thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great voice recording!, January 5, 2007

By	PDQ-Kelly (Providence, UT) - See all my reviews

This microphone makes your voice sound really rich and is great to eliminate the humming sound of my camcorder and other background noise. It only works well within a few inches of your mouth however.
