I am wondering if the mic volume is very good or not. I have a cheaper headset and the mic is almost inaudible, even when boosted from the PC

yes the mic volume is nice and loud, these head sets are a steal for their price

I had no problem, you might want to check that the connector is set correct. You might want to play with the settings off your mic also. I will also do a couple of test settings and if I can duplicate the issue I will let you know.

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.

I just bought it & have Windows 7. It works fine except it has a hum that I can't get rid of. I've played with the gain button & the mic volume, but it's still there. Any suggestions?

The mic was actually ok. I could hear the person clear. I asked my coworker to pick check on the sound quality, she answer the phone through speaker first and she couldn't hear me. Then she picked up the phone and said she could hear me but it was low.

I would not recommend this headset. The mic was dead on arrival but the speakers were working. I would suggest going for headset above &gt; $20 to get a product that actually works. HTH.

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

I tried this with my set-up ~ Turtle Beach phones using the dual ear-and-mic jacks option ~ and while it did work okay ~ the audio was way weaker than using the audio-jack by itself ~ so I went back to that option ~ as I do not need the mic much. At least these Turtle Beach phones have really excellent audio quality ~ for even quiet music. I don't know if the dual ear-and-mic signal weakness is due to my PC or the Turtle Beach phones and therefor you may have a different outcome ~~~

Yeah the quality is pretty bad. I don't know what your using it for but I used it for a work application in a noisy environment and we moved to an over ear headset. That worked much better.

No you are still able to hear things. In opinion, its not a good headset at all.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

Mic does not have noise cancellation. Microphone pickup is good. I have never had a problem with it. Background noise pickup seems to be pretty poor so even without noise cancellation the background noise does not drown you our or become annoying.

The Mic. is receives audio with high quality sound. I would recommend turning down the volume on the mic when commentating for YouTube. It may be almost to good of quality for the sound. This headset also comes with an FX feature if you were interested in shaping your voice.

Plug in some headphones into the audio jack on the side of the mic. If you can hear yourself (adjust the volume knob), the mic is working and you need to check settings as others describe. If you can't hear yourself, it's a dud. I use a lot of these mics with clients and have had one get damaged. Rode repaired it right away.

I did have a bit of trouble with mine at first but after I went into sound settings in my OS and updated the settings for the headset to be default and so on and did a reboot, it worked perfect, just make sure you always keep it in the same USB port or you will have to go through it all over again. My sys OS Is Win 7 Pro. Hope this helps.

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

I use the mic close by also, and when I play back through my external speakers (or even the speakers built into the laptop), I have not had any feedback. This really is the best mic I've found out there. Hope this helps!!!
