I was impressed with the volume and quality of the sound with this mic. This is the first PC mic. I've used, so I wasn't sure what to expect at this price. I do have Realtek Audio Manager on my PC, so I was able to tweak the setting to my desire, including increasing the Mic. Boost to +10.0dB. I also swiveled the mic. the opposite way in the stand, to gain reach, and put it on top of a CD case for elevation. The sound is great, and same with the playback. With my setting I was able to speak and record clearly at approx. 5".
What's great about it: Sound good, long Mic. handle, plug and play
What's not so great: For the money, can't really complain

I read other reviews on this mic and I decided to get it. I'm glad I did. It's awesome. People on Ventrilo told me that I finally sounded clear and that I "finally stepped out of that waterfall". The mic itself is longer than I thought it would be, which is a plus. Unfortunately, that's canceled out by the slightly short cord. That's okay because it picks up sound very very well. I had to turn it down by 80% to make it perfect for Ventrilo. I play bass guitar and I wanted to see how well this mic recorded me playing. It did great. I was able to hear just a little too much. (You know, those mistakes....) Overall, this is the best computer mic that I've ever used and I would totally recommend it to anyone who wants something that will get the job done.
What's great about it: Awesome sound
What's not so great: The cord is just a little small

It is a pretty good microphone. I recommended net for the price and quality, but then again it's not a professional microphones about expect too much for the price. I am actually reading that review using speech recognition software that came with my computer, and I'm using this microphone to record that. After you train your microphone there are fewer mistakes so just came out pretty good. However you may need to disconnect the microphone from the stand in order for it to be a better heard. But that didn't bother me too much, because I expected to do so all the background noise and I have where my computer is and my microphone. If he does when a microphone to do something small such as the speech recognition program or for usteam, as I am using it, then I say buy it.
What's great about it: Easy to set up works good prices
What's not so great: Short wire gets disturbed from outside noises easily

I've been using this microphone for my Japanese chat group which is held over the internet and so far its been great. The sound quality is amazing, just like talking over a telephone, and recording my voice is equally awesome. I researched microphones all over the internet and this one seemed to have a good user rating and a few great reviews so I purchased this product and I've be using it for about a month. If your looking for a microphone for internet karaoke, just recording a podcast, or simply using it for voice chat its amazing and for the price its an offer that shouldn't be passed up. I'd reccomend this product to anyone.
What's great about it: The Build, The Over-All Product, The Value

I’d been toying with the idea of getting a computer microphone for awhile before I really got around to it. Since the actual user reviews are the only things worth basing anything on, I noticed that this particular mic was getting a bunch of positive ones and decided to buy it. It’s just like having a phone conversation! And as for setup, when I first opened the box I was totally prepared to have to go through hoops to get it to work, but all there was to do was plug it in and record on my computer. O.O
What's great about it: No special software or other BS required

This is the only PC microphone they sell at my local best buy and it's complete trash not even worth $20. It brakes within first month, flimsy, cord comes out of microphone too easily, plastic is weak and sound quality is complete garbage. Plugs in works like a cheap toy Microphone don't bother with this one!!!

Product is made out about 25 cents worth of plastic, sound quality is horrendous, and the recording threshold couldn't pick up a jet engine from 5 feet away. Definitely not worth 20 dollars.
