Rating + 5 The most bang for your buck!


Pros: For a mic that reproduces my voice so crystal clear, I'd expect to pay at least triple the price. This mic has withstood the test of time, and with me, that's no easy feat. This mic has been tossed into my backpack, along with my mouse and laptop, for many LAN sessions with friends. The mic is well-built and sturdy. Despite being dropped, banged, and tumbling around in my backpack, the mic still reproduces my voice crystal clear.

Cons: None whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: Need a mic for Vent, Skype, MSN, etc.? This is the mic for you. It's not expensive, although with the way it performs, you'd have thought that it was!

Rating + 5 USB better than CL Audigy analog


Pros: Originally I was skeptic of a USB mic. No longer.

weighted base, long cord, USB connector. Full native Win 7 support. Good sound.

I swap between 2.0 desktop and 5.0 surround headphones, so a desktop mic is required for me.

Cons: none really..

Wish they/someone made a unit that was optional as a 3rd party headset boom attachable via some goose neck + clip mechanism.

Other Thoughts: makes me consider replacing my audigy card, but don't see the cost/benefit, yet.

Used to replace another low cost analog mic into a CL Audigy 2 ZS which started to have mic problems under Win 7x64. (CL barely supports win7x64 for their older stuff) This inexpensive mic replacement fixed it.

Rating + 5 A good, clean mic!


Pros: - It's perfectly clear, even when turned up to the max.
- It's solid enough to stay put wherever you place it.
- I don't have to eat the mic to use it.

Cons: None, really.

Other Thoughts: I use this primarily for PC gaming applications, and it really does its job well. Now the teammates can hear me bark out orders at them without moving the mic off my desk to speak into it.

Rating + 5 Fun So Far


Pros: *Works
*Good price
*Heavy base w/ small foot print
*Picks up from far away (speaking voice in quiet room about 6ft/2m.

Cons: None really

free shipping would be nice

Other Thoughts: Running on vista Home Premium
on first plug in go to
control panel>sound>(tab)Recording>click and set to default

enter properties because default volume is tiny. I set to 100%.


I use it for Speech recognition. Not the intended use, but pretty accurate for simple dictations. Navigating this way (ex. a browser) is not going to be fun.

Cons: No cons

Rating + 5 Fantastic!


Pros: Plug in play capability, literally... (I simply plugged it in, Windows detected and automatically made it default microphone and I was good to go in about 10 seconds)!

Cons: The microphone does not fold up so you do need to find a place for it on your desk.

Other Thoughts: Skype picked it right up without a hitch. Works perfectly with both Skype and Google chat. What I found interesting too was there was no echoing effect for the person I was talking to even though the sound was coming out of the speakers. This affirms 5 eggs without question!

Rating + 5 A Great Microphone!


Pros: Wanted to set up my Speech Recognition on my PC. Researched this microphone through several online websites & retail stores for the best pricing. The closet competitor was $24.000 plus tax & shipping. Product is excellent, easily setup and I trained my PC easily. Great for other applications such as video messaging, etc.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Newegg as usual had the best price, shipping was 3 days and worked right out of the package, just plug in usb port, turn on and it could not be easier. If your looking for a microphone, you can't go wrong with this product.

Rating + 3 Great!, if it wasnt for......


Pros: 1. Great clarity from even 4 to 5 feet.
2. Weighted base
3. Sleek design
4. Mute button on the base
5. Works great with TeamSpeak 2
6. Affordable

Cons: I do like the sound quality of this mic. For the most part Windows 7 recognizes it. However,.. I cant get the majority of my games to work with it. Counter Strike Source, Battlefield 2, TF2, etc. Basically any game with built in chat doesnt see it. I've messed with my sound setting to the point of complete frustration. I dont know it its the mic or Windows 7 but if anyone knows the right combo of settings please feel free to chime in.

Other Thoughts: I like this mic, but I really really want to love it. I bought if for gaming so that I could wear my good headphones. Because this is plug & play Logitech doesnt offer software. If anyone knows of a 3rd party tweaking program please comment.

Pros: - The captured sound is high quality

Cons: - None

Other Thoughts: I use this thing all the time for webinars through GoToMeeting's VOIP solution. The quality captured by this device is very high and I always get compliments on how clear and easy to understand my voice is. I also use this on Skype with the same quality results. Also, I've used this thing on about 10 different computers and each time it is plugged into the USB port, the device is recognized and works without problems.

Rating + 5 best voice microphone for computer


Pros: (1) Best voice microphone for computer unless you are doing studio-quality recordings. (2) Superb voice quality and sensitivity/range (3) robust built. (4) USB plug and play, does not require separate software install. (5) prominent green indicator-switch indicates when it is on. (6) usable with webcam, skype, google-talk, MSN messenger, yahoo messenger and host of other applications. (7) fully digital interface eliminates any noise issue, common in 3.5" mini-plug type microphones.

Cons: (1) Needs manual setup for reliable operations: (a) In control panel->sounds & audio devices->audio, AK5370 must be set as default recording device, and "always use default device" must be checked for reliable use in all applications. (b) default volume is low - must be increased for reasonable sensitivity. (2) due to limited high frequency response, not suitable for instrumental music recording/pickup. (3) Price could have been lower - still acceptable. (4) does not work/interface with the HD audio system or AC97 audio system of the motherboard.

Other Thoughts: a 3.5" mini-plug version of the same quality would have been awsome, but then there might have been degradation in quality and noise issues due to the analog interface.

Rating + 5 Great Mic


Pros: Great mic. Long lead makes it easy to move it around with you if you decide to move that far. Records well, and picks up from faaaar. This mic has been with me for three years now, and still works. It has traveled with me more than a dozen times, banged around in backpacks and suit cases (I do take care of it, and it takes care of me). I use it constantly in TS and games.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: As time goes on and the mic ages, the light will start to flicker, no big deal. Also, as it gets older, it doesn't stand up as well anymore, and you might find yourself putting a bit of blue tack in the joint to keep it standing. Again, after three years? No big deal. No loss of quality, no real cons.

Rating + 5 Good quality at good price


Pros: picks up sound from a good distance away. Was using it at a LAN, and the thing was picking up sounds from people 10-15 feet away. could be a con, but I think of it as a pro b/c i'd rather have it pick up sound than not.

Cons: None really, at least nothing I consider the microphone's fault. Doesn't work too well in-game for team fortress 2, but really i've always had problems with that.

Rating + 5 An excellent, yet inexpensive microphone!


Pros: Excellent sound quality, USB connector, thick durable cable, weighted base.

Cons: The 'curvy' design is a little funny looking.

Other Thoughts: This microphone has excellent voice clarity and would be ideal for amateur voice acting, podcasts and Ventrilo/TeamSpeak/Skype/MSN/in-game voice chats. The filtering technology really does a good job in eliminating most unwanted ambient sounds. If you're looking for a microphone with excellent clarity for a low price, you've found it!

Rating + 2 Crashes Windows 7 on reboot


Pros: Bought based on overall very good reviews, to replace some junk broken analog mic. Sound quality is good.

Cons: Not as sensitive as I'd like, and no Mic boost apparent in the audio settings.

Took a couple of plug/unplug tries to get all drivers installed.

Worst of all, I get reboot crashes on Windows 7 (Ultimate, 64 bit) because of this. It installed and works, and the first reboot after this, with the mic plugged in, crashed Win7 with a blue screen during the reboot. Dropping back to a restore point fixed this, and so does unplugging the mic during reboot, but what a pain. Even weirder, after a boot crash, the next reboot hangs up in the BIOS POST, so the mic is doing something nasty to the system even during reboot.

Other Thoughts: Hard to know who to blame, Logitech just uses standard audio drivers, nothing special to this device. So is it standard drivers or a hardware problem?

Cons: Lousy quality does not pick the voice up well - Guess I need to spend more money to get a decent mic

Pros: The base is weighed down so it wont fall over, has a button to turn off when I don't want to use it. Picks up on sound from 6 feet away easily.

Cons: I owned it for a year and hardly used it, now all the sudden the button is broken. I bought this when it was $30, guess now I just have a paperweight. All in all a good mic, but I'd take a push switch over this button any day.

Pros: Good price.

Has a base! I hate those clip-on mics and I also don't care for having to wear a headset. Having a mic on a base for my desktop is liberating.

The sound seems to go through very clearly.

It's not picky about placement. I can pretty much have this thing anywhere in my room.

Cons: None really, but if I wanted to be picky I'd probably say that I wouldn't mind it being a bit sturdier.

When the mic is tilted at an angle, it feels looser than when it is upright. Perhaps it wasn't really meant to be used at an angle. I guess I'd like it better if it was tighter, harder to move at any angle. I wonder if, in time, it will wear out and simply tilt down on it's own when not upright.

I wouldn't mind a heavier base either.

Other Thoughts: Be sure to mess around with your microphone settings to make it just right for yourself.

I've made good use of this thing with voice chat in games and language learning software. I intend to use it for voice commands in some games. I gave up on that idea before because it wasn't very reliable. Maybe with this mic it will be.

If you are into amateur vids/voicework and don't want to spend much money. I think this mic would be a good choice.

I wanted a mic with a base for my computer, and I didn't want to spend too much money. I gotta say, I was surprised to find such a pleasant mic for so little money. I was honestly not expecting much because of the price and my underwhelming experience with mics on computers.

Be sure to have a free usb connection. Just in case you missed it, this mic uses usb.

Pros: Noise canceling actually works.
Very sturdy, doesn't swing around.
I sound like Bob Barker.

Cons: None. LED light isn't really a big deal.
Nice to have an On/Off button for convenience.

Other Thoughts: Definitely worth it's money. Better than buying cheap $12 ones from Walmart that break in a matter of a couple weeks. Plus Logitech has always treated their customers well with replacements if broken.

Pros: PnP made it extremely easy to setup. I didn't run issues with vent unlike every other mic I've used. The quality and range are quite impressive as well. The mic can pick me up all over my computer room which means it can pick up easily around 10-12 feet away.

Cons: None that i can think of, i haven't had any problems with.

Other Thoughts: With the sturdy base the mic doesn't fall over and the range and quality are quite impressive for the sales price of $19.99

Pros: Design is real slick. Sturdy base allows for flexible positioning. Picks up my voice from quite a distance. Trivial installation (Windows).

Cons: I sound like I have a head cold (very nasal). If I talk directly into it (holding it like a stage mic), then I sound fine. But any distance from it, including when it was on the edge of my desk, just a foot or so from my mouth, and I sound hollow and nasal.

Other Thoughts: I'm returning it after one day.

Rating + 5 Great Mic for Skype


Pros: Windows XP recognized the mic as soon as I plugged the USB in, and the mic was working immediately.
The base is nice and heavy so it stays in place. The sound pickup is great...it's very sensitive even from 18" away and the outgoing sound is very clear.
It's a decent looking piece, not ugly at all.
Overall, it's a great mic.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: The price from NewEgg was $12.00 less than the "office " store in my area and it was delivered to me within 24 hours of my order. That's what I love about NewEgg.

Rating + 5 WOW


Pros: This is a great microphone compared to the piece of junk I got at a superstore for $8. It is great, it is excellent especially for video chatting and doesn't pic up all the little crackles and pops that many microphones do. I was on skype with my brother and he said it was so clear it sounded like we were in the same room. The base is heavy so it keeps it from falling forward annoylingly, set this guy in the back of your desk and it pics up!

Cons: The green button is very tempting to push on and off rapidly because it's just cool like that.

Other Thoughts: If you are looking to get clean recordings, get this man, I have vista and it works swell! (just turn up the microphone recording level)

Rating + 4 Exactly what I was expecting


Pros: Microphone does exactly what it's supposed to do. Broadcasts my voice clearly over any program or medium I choose. Despite what some reviews are saying, this works fine with Windows Vista (I use x64).

Cons: Under default settings the microphone broadcasts at very low volumes, though it is easy to fix by messing with windows sound settings. This microphone is a bit too sensitive, and picks up most sounds around me while I'm speaking. LED is an odd color, but I don't really care about that.

Other Thoughts: I bought this microphone because I decided to move away from using 'gaming' headsets for games, and instead buy a decent pair of headphones (Sennheiser HD555's) and a separate mic. This mic probably isn't as good as some I've used which are attached to headsets, but as far as sound quality is concerned I don't regret the choice I've made one bit.

Rating + 5 Great USB Mic for Skype and other voice apps


Pros: A great USB mic. I bought it specifically to use with Skype. I have it mounted on my desk, directly under one of my 24" monitors. I can walk back about 25 away (I've only done this for testing purposes) from the mic and have a decent conversation with it over my speaker monitors. It works great, doesn't pick-up any feedback from the speakers. I normally sit about 3 ft, 6ft or 12 ft back on my couch and it works well in all these settings. Especially in the 3 - 6 ft range.

A great benefit of it being a USB mic, is I don't have to use one of my valuable 24 bit/96khz xlr ports on my M-Audio Omni Studio audio card. And of course it can be used on any USB device, my XP Desktop, XP laptop or MAC (but I haven't tried it on my MAC yet).

Cons: Nothing significant, that I can think of. I suppose one could argue that it could be a little smaller, but I think it's fine for the purpose of what it was designed for. It looks like one of the banker's pens that sits in a swivel on a desk.

Other Thoughts: Logitech makes really great products. I've been using many of theirs over the years, such as their wireless mic, etc. They seem to really have great drivers, ergonomics, style, quality and decent (or reasonable) prices. They are not cheap, but not necessarily expensive unless you buy their top of the line full featured products.

I think this is a mic you will be happy with, for the long haul.

Pros: I put this mike in the middle of my 5.1 speakers, right in front of and below my monitor.

After turning up the input volume, it worked just fine for gaming. No need for software installation.

Cons: It works fine for me for Team Fortress 2.

You may get feedback if your own voice is playing over your speakers while you are recording. You'll need to turn that option off in your application, only talk for a second at a time, or use a headset. I doubt you'll find a mic that won't give you feedback if it can pick up your voice again from your speakers.

Other Thoughts: Turn up the microphone volume in Vista:
- right click the speaker icon in your system tray (or Sound->Recording from the Control Panel)
- select Recording Devices
- select Microphone (# USB Audio Device)
- click Properties
- select the Levels tab
- drag the bar to the right
- click OK

Rating + 5 Great Mic


Pros: I bought this mic to be used for better communication while I game with my buddies. Since I can not hear how I sound on the other end of the mic while gaming, i decided to use a sound program to test it out. I started recording with the mic right next to my PC for around 20 seconds without me saying a word. After blasting the speakers up and pressing play, I couldn't even hear my fans running (take note that my PC has tons of loud fans.) So basically, this mic can't pick up my fan noise if it is in front of them.


- Doesn't pick up computer noise
- Small and light weight
- GREAT recording quality

Cons: I don't consider this a CON but even if I put the volume at max for the mic, I still have to be relatively close to it for it to pick up my voice. If I am not close to it, I have to talk a little loud for it to pick up my voice. But still, i found ways around so it is still a great mic.

Rating + 5 Best microfone ever.


Pros: First of all Im a big fan of Logitech products, and this microfone is one of the products that keep it that way.
It been almost 5 years where me and other 3 friends play games online and talk on Skype, until I get this microfone I always had trouble using my speakers because the other 2 microfone I had return all the game sound to them too, so to them be able to hear me they had to hear the game also. So I had two choices before: Use a headset and dont use my speakers or disturbe them with all my noise (most shooting game).
Now with this microfone only my voice is pick up which is amazing and deservers 5 egg for sure.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I have been a skype user for years, and skype lets you adjust your sound and microfone volume. By default it adjust your microfone for you, so I always uncheck that and adjust it my self, if I give it about 25% of microfone volume they only get my voice on a good quality volume, which the others didnt worked that way, it was everything or nothing at all (ie. if I set the other mic volume down, not only the room noise would be gone but my voice also would).
And on this if I set Skype volume all the way up and then everything is heard but I can speak from my kitchen and they still listen to me.

Pros: It looks really nice, and feels good.

Cons: It isn't compatible with Vista 64 bit, so watch out. I gotta return this and try and find one that looks as good, but it compatible.

Rating + 1 Doesn't work in Vista 64bit


Pros: None

Cons: Technically, it works but you have to be like 2 inches from the microphone otherwise it won't record anything. Then what's the point of getting a desktop microphone?

Don't get this microphone if you have Vista on your system.

Other Thoughts: I know this microphone works like it's supposed to under XP. but no I'm not installing XP just to use this microphone. That's stupid. (Doesn't mean that I hate XP. It's just that I don't like to dual boot and espeically not for the sole purpose of using this microphone)

Rating + 4 Sounds good, but hinge is floppy


Pros: Clear sound, decent sensitivity, sturdy construction, built-in mute button

Cons: Bright LED that can't be turned off without muting the microphone. I have to mute it at night before I go to sleep since my computer's in my bedroom.

The microphone won't stay upright, unless it's pointed all the way up. It falls down because of a weak, faulty hinge. I can't have it at the angle I want pointed towards my mouth because the hinge can't support the mic's weight.

Rating + 5 Simply Awesome


Pros: Easy to setup. Plug into USB and select the AK... model name on whatever dropdown lists apply.

I use this mic on a daily basis with ventrillo and received many inquiries on what i had done to sound so much better than i usually do. While that might say more about my old mic than this new one, my own tests (including a tv in the background) did result in great quality via the speex codec in ventrillo and a couple of voice overs in adobe premiere.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I'm still not sold on the need for the on/off button on the base of the mic that glows green while on, but it doesn't get in the way.
