Beware: Not the same mic as it was several years ago!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought one of these years back, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and usefulness of the whole package. However, I just recently bought another a couple months ago, and I found that the mic's output was so low as to be unusable. Same setup as with the other Zalman Zm-Mic1, same look, same packaging, but with a big difference!

Zalman, I'd be rating this higher and recommending this mic to everyone, but because of my last experience, I now warn people away! Get your quality control sorted!

Great quality at a great price.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2013

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

The audio quality is summed up pretty well in the demo. But other than that...

ERGONOMICS (4/5)
This microphone will NOT clip onto your clothes, like a lavalier. Rather, the clip is something that you simply slide onto another wire. There's also three mini-clips meant for helping it attach to a length of wire and not get tangled, but the mini-clips come off on their own very easily. However, the main clip would never come off unless you deliberately pulled on it.

DURABILITY (5/5)
This mic a very light piece of plastic-- too light to break or crack should you drop it on the floor. The only way to damage this would probably be accidentally stepping on it. I've had this mic for over a year (since 10/2012), and there hasn't been any issues yet.

MISCELLANEOUS
This may be a pro or con-- the cord is very long, perhaps 10 feet. It could easily get tangled, and the wire itself is fairly thin. The width is analogous to Apple earbuds (standard issue with iPods). They obviously wouldn't rip with regular wear-and-tear, as long as you show them some semblance of care.

OVERALL (4/5)
Would I recommend it? Yes, I would. I use this mic for gaming (on Skype with friends and in-game VOIP), and it serves its purpose very well. Obviously, there are better mics out there, but for around ten dollars, this is a pretty good deal.

NOTE: All the outside audio came from my computer's speakers. The audio bitrate of the demo was 192kbps. The mic itself was set to 100 loudness and +20 dB boost (from the "Sound" section in the Control Panel).

Amazing bang for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

You cannot beat this mic for the price. In fact, I bought two when it was on sale for $6ish.

Sound quality is amazing, huge improvement over my headset's build in mic. I was using this to stream and my followers immediately noticed the change. It does pick up a LOT though, so you'll want to make sure you're not using it in a noisy environment. Also, you need some distance on it. People could barely heat me when I clipped it just under but headset, but when I put it about a foot down the cord, or around where my chest meets my stomach, it was loud and crystal clear.

Extreme cord length. You could be sitting WAYYYY back and still have room to spare. This is a blessing and a curse, as I will describe further below.

The clip is NOT flexible, I found this out the hard way. My mic cord is braided AND sealed, so it's very thick, and while this flexed a little to compensate, the plastic failed after a few weeks. My solution followed in the following line, as it's my only other complaint.

When you run a USB headset, this becomes an extra cord running over your desk. Also, since the cord is extremely longer, there is A LOT of it. What I ended up doing, especially after the plastic clip portion broke, is taping the mic itself to my headset cord, and then using little pieces of scotch tape down the length of my headset cord to fasten the mic cord in place. This helped a ton with the slack, and also prevented the very thin and long cord from getting tangled with my other devices, as I found it did so easily.

You seriously cannot make any complaints with this mic. Insane audio quality, will pick up A LOT in your room, and under $10. I don't understand all of the negative reviews. I think some people expected a Blue Yeti for under <$10 o_O.

Arguably the best quality for the price range

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

This little mic packs a punch. It arguably has the best quality for it's price range although I've heard that it can be hit or miss depending on your batch.

Pros:
1) Extremely cheap.
2) Decent sound quality. It has no noticeable static issues or other imperfections.
4) Long cable and compact design.

Cons:
1) Annoying clip. It's just barely over-sized for most headset cables I tried it with and just too big for collars. So slight bumps can dislodge it.
2) Sensitivity. This is a pro or con depending on your usage, but I decided to place it in cons as I personally find it to be overly sensitive. If you intend to use this for recording/streaming or simply playing with a hot mic you absolutely have to use a headset and ensure that the area you're in is quiet. It will pick up you, your sound, your keyboard, your neighbor yelling at his wife, and the kid down the street eating broccoli.
3) The plastic isn't the best quality and some minute gaps in the casing sometimes grabs fuzz (sweaters/carpets/etc) but it's of no consequence unless you often wear those kinds of clothes.

Overall I found that the cons were heavily outweighed by the pros for the price. If you're cheap or on a budget, you won't find better for the price.

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

I needed a better mic and headphone set up for my PS4 and PC because the Sony Gold headset I had been using would get uncomfortable after 45 minutes or so.

I already had a very nice set of Sony MDRV6 Studio headphones I used for music or even plugged directly into my controller for games where I wouldn't be using voice chat.

After doing a little research I decided to give this mic a try as it had good reviews and was incredibly cheap. I combined this mic and my headset using a Sennheiser PCV 05 audio adapter that I plug directly into the ps4 controller. I ran the mic plug through the headset coil and used velcro ties to tie the cables together.

In party chat, everything came through loud and clear. My only complaint is that the cord is way too long, but I suppose some people who run it directly to their desktop and happy with that.

My my my, been using this little guy for ages and he hasn't let me down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2019

Verified Purchase

I must say for the price this clip on mic is amazing. Do a lot of online gaming on my pc over the past 7 years since it was built and this guy has served me well and true for many of them. Before getting this I used to use a selection of gaming headsets with mics and while the quality of the mic was generally better there, the sound quality was much worse. Hence after just getting decent headphones to use with my pc that didn't have a mic (audio technica m20x), I needed something along these lines to fill in the missing mic gap.

My friends commented the mic didn't sound as good as ones on my previous gaming headsets but it was still pretty decent quality. And for the price you can't go wrong. Ideally you would be using something like Discord/Teamspeak/Mumble etc anyway with push to talk or voice activated talk so background noise wouldn't be going through to those you're speaking too.

Great performance!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Being into high end 'Hi-Fi' headphones rather than gaming headsets, I found myself needing a mic. A friend reccomended the mod mic by Antlion so I got one and it is excellent!

However curiosity also made me get one of these, despite the somewhat 'mixed' reviews and I can say that for the price, this little mic is EXCELLENT.

It clearly picks up my voice and suprisingly, not much of the background noise either. I have done a side by side recording of my voice with both this and the modmic, and the difference is MINIMAL. This mic picks up really well and almost sounds the same as the modmic (which is 4 times the price), it is a little noisier, but thats due to its design and placement.

Overall a great product and the best value 3.5mm mic on amazon.

Good voice quality, lots of background noise - good for gaming

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

It's a good microphone IF:
1) you bought a separate (cheap) USB soundcard, which is recommended since it removes a lot of the background noise and amplifies the microphone sound
2) you don't plan on using it for streaming or live commentary, where background noise cancellation is important

The disadvantages of this mic are, as stated in it's title - it's overly sensitive omnidirectional microphone with no noise cancellation. The quality of this microphone is an upgrade over most headsets - which makes it good for gaming, but you have to play a bit with mixer settings on PC to compensate (quite well I might say) for the constant humming that you hear and avoid hearing every other little noise in your room. You can minimise it quite a bit (the humming) but you can't get rid of it completely. If you are planning to use it with your console - I wouldn't recommend this mic since you don't have access to any good software sound mixers that the PC has.

In the end I would definitely recommend it as a good mic for PC gaming, videocalls, but not a good mic if you are serious about having no background noise.

I'd rather a desk microphone.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

Too quiet, the cord is quite thin which I expected but the clip it uses to clamp on to a pair of headphones isn't a clip at all, it's just two flaps of plastic which you have to shove the headphone wire into, which leads to the next problem: whenever it tugs on something it pulls the headphones wire with it which makes me very worried it will pull out and break my headphones one day. It just feels like a deadweight on my headphone wire. Also the mini clips which run along work for the most part but they still slip off the wire they are clipped onto every now and then.

Because of its sound levels I had to turn up the sound reception in windows to maximum and now it picks up too much air static when talking to people online and some are constantly asking what I'm saying.

Overall it might work for you if you just want a few skype calls every now and then but other than that it isn't a long term solution to regular online calls or gaming.

Surprisingly good quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2018

My Logitech headset's mic broke and I needed a quick mic to play with friends, after a few online review this one was recommended as a cheap alternative.

I purchased one in hopes of a temp replacement while I browse for a new headset.....there won't be a new headset. The quality on this cheap looking mic is EXCELLENT. Unbelievably excellent.

Cable is very long, 3 meters maybe? Has clips that can be used to clip it to the headset. Only problem is they don't work very well, I had to use velcro strips to fully secure it. Great buy.
