How does the mic perform? Good enough for skype, google hangout, etc?

This particular pair does not have a mic. Instead, it has a volume control slider in the place where a mic would be. The ones that say "with mic" have one and I love the quality. I use it for phone conversations all the time and no one has ever had a hard time hearing me.

Yes. Very much. and it is very comfortable using it. it's just sad that it does not have a microphone with it. then it would be perfect. but with this price, I cannot complain!!

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

Yes, I have used it with skype and google hangout, and it works great with both.

I've had few issues with this camera using Google Hangouts. From what I can tell, it looks smooth.

The microphone is meh. It works well inside on phone calls. It works poorly if there is ambient noise wind, music, etc. I've had many comments from people, "could you please report that ,it seemed garbled."

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

No. Yes the mic is fine. I don't know but the quality is low, and this model is outdated. It should work with almost all computers.

I have used this mic for recording interviews and it works very well. I've placed it on a desk or table several feet away and it has no problem picking up the conversation.

The mic is fine. No one has ever complained about not being able to hear or understand me. My only issue was w the ear pieces and the volume automatically changing

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

yes, microphone works great, no issue. small echo as we are in a Tahoe- but not bad 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...
