Plug in and use, no software to download, just the different (out of 4) types of settings you want on the mic. Very easy especially if you are not too tech savvy.
Looks and records with great quality.
I bought this for my desk at work. Our office went with Microsoft Office 2013 and we use Lync for our netmeetings between offices acorss the country. Works great, looks amazing too. Cord is LONG so you have plenty of room to run it under a big desk and tuck it/tie it away neatly. Button clicks down, don't have to hold to push like a dispatcher. That way I can mute myself without having to mute from windows when in a meeting. Very powerful too, had to adjust the sensitivity down in Lync audio settings but that may have to do with my on-board audio, not the mic itself. Everyone says it is clear and crisp, better than the laptop mic's everyone uses on the netmeetings. Screw buying a $100 + Lync headset, old school 3.5 mm jack for the win.
