How is the audio received from the throat mic when whispering? Do you have to actually speak, or is it sensitive enough to pick up a whisper?

Audio is garbled if you: whisper, speak normally, speak loudly, shout, or any other thing I tried. My friend thought I was deliberately messing it up..it was that pitiful.

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 have personally had no complaints at all about the mic quality. Granted, I have not used too many mics in my day, but I can say for absolutely certain that its quality is better than both built-in mics on either of my laptops. None of my friends have ever complained about the quality of my voice while voice chatting during gaming. That said, it's not comparable to much more expensive mics, but I feel it does the basic job of a headset mic, such as for gaming, excellently.

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

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

Shawn, this mic is pretty great. I use it occasionally when I don't want to wear my gaming headset. It offers good voice communications and to help you, I've measured the mic - the cord is exactly 6 feet long. I also decided to test the quality of this mic upon first receiving it. Your voice can be picked up by this mic if you are WHISPERING even ~6 feet away. So if you have the mic pointing in the general direction you are, it will work fantastic... though your voice may sound like it is a couple feet away... if you are, of course. Overall, it's a great mic they threw in with this sound card! Hope this helped, take care!

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

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).

I actually have not noticed a "lag" when using the mic as a listening device. One reason may be that I am using the headphone line-in on the mic and do not hear except through them. This is the only way to get a "clean" recording. Otherwise, the mic will pick up the ambient sound from your external speakers. However, there doesn't seem to be anything noticeable in the recordings.

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

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!

tbh im not quite sure but whenever my mic is on people don't tend to have problems hearing me, and i keep the mic maybe within an arm's reach from me. i hope this helps :)

I've had no issue with speaking volume and use just my normal speaking voice. The mic is sensitive and like many competitors background noise in a crowded area like a restaurant can be prevalent.

Are you blowing the whistle while wearing the mic? Blow the whistle while feeling your throat. Did you feel any vibrations? If not, the sound won't transmit would be my guess.If someone else is blowing the whistle, then no.

The simple answer is yes. I have found, the mic only marginally useful as it picks up not only the wearers voice but also the the surrounding 'noise'. Only useful in a one to one situation.

Hello W. Fisher. On the volume control base there is a slide up/down button for you to put the mic in mute. Many time I forget to slide the button back up to un-mute the headset. So if you a looking for a flashing light to indicate if the headset is in mute mode, it does not have one. Sorry....
