Question 1

How does this work?  What is it hooked up to?

Accepted Answer

It can be hooked up to anything with a 3.5 jack or a 6.2mm jack if you have a converter.  (Can buy converter in any store for like $2.)

The button on the stand  is a mute button.

I currently have it hooked up to my sound card in my computer so I can talk while playing online games.

It is just a plain microphone.  It hooks up to something like any other microphone does.   Think of it an in input device like anything else or the opposite of speakers.  A speaker is an output device so you hear stuff from soemone else, the microphone allows you to input sound to the device.

Question 2

Do you HAVE to push the button down to talk? Because i have games that require a key to be pushed and so i cant push down a keyboard key and push down this key AND play a game at the same time.

Accepted Answer

It's a "push on - push off" type of button (locking), so you don't have to hold it down like a "push-to-talk" (momentary).

One other comment, screws on the bottom of the mic's stand are kinda sharp, could scratch desk top. I put little rubber pads under my mic.

Otherwise, works fine.

Question 3

how is the sound quality that comes out of this? do you have to "have it in your mouth" or can you have it away on a desk?

Accepted Answer

This is the best mic I've found it sounds great either close up or a few feet away.

I used it for interactive classes you can press the button lightly for a quick question or press it down till it clicks for long answers.

Very well made with a metal base.

Question 4

Will it work with Windows 8.1?? It is USB or Plug?

Accepted Answer

It is not a USB. It is a standard headphone jack. I t should work with any mic port.

Iv used this for over a year with TeamSpeak wile gaming it does the job fine. However others can hears my background noise if my speaker volume is turned up to high.

Its a great low cost option for this kind of use.

Question 5

how long is the cable?

Accepted Answer

About 4-5 feet long.

Question 6

Does this mic. come out well after recordings?

Accepted Answer

Depends on how good of a quality you want.  I use a condenser microphone and comparing to this, its obvious (to me) I didn't want this for THAT use.

For just casual voice chat then yeah.
