Using for transcription of voice. Any good with that range of sound?

Yes. These are great cans for all production work. My only negative about these is that they are uncomfortable when worn for long periods of time. The band rest uncomfortably on top of your head, regardless of the adjustment. They're great sounding though.

Very good for that. As flat a frequency response as I've found across the frequency spectrum. Very clear and accurate as headphones go. I love them for music reference, which is much wider range than voice alone.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.

I have been using it for my home recording projects,( I sing on karaoke tracks for a hobby). it serves my purpose very well and I like the quality of recording I get from it. It is really good for the price. I would recommend it. If you are looking for more advanced/professional use you may want to explore more options.

I doubt it would be ideal! For voice recognition you need a decent, sensitive microphone. For the money the plantronics is a very comfortable but not particularly durable unit. Volume in and out is adequate.

I have been using REW with this mic. The software is free from home theater shack and is a great tool to measure speakers and look at the measured acoustics of a room. Hope that helps

I,m not 100 percent sure , but any computer with a line in and half decent audio software will accept it fairly well as this is how I am recording atm , but naturally keeping an eye on your input levels becomes your biggest problem , sorry couldn't answer exact question , :(

My experience has been very good. We've used it for a guest dance teacher on the floor with music playing and only her voice is coming through. We set the microphone about 2" to the side of the mouth and it seems to only pick up the voice. We have the gain set very low.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

I can't speak to which would be better for singing but this mic works amazingly for recording speech. I did record a friend singing and playing guitar from it and it sounded pretty good, considering I had it halfway across the room. As for Windows 8, I have no problems with 7, 8 or 8.1.

I think you would find this mic to be fairly spectacular for that type of recording application. I would suggest using the "flat response" position of the switch on the side of the mic and then EQ as needed.

I wish I could help, but so far I've only used it for dictation. On the other hand, Sony's description says it can be used to record lectures, which would imply considerable distance.

It could be - I'm not sure about the sound quality in terms of what you may be looking for. It's not really meant to play as a "boom box" or similar. It's really just for voice note recording. I have it because decades ago, I had a few overseas penpals and we used to make voice tape letters for each other, and I wanted something inexpensive to play it. Then I used it to record some songs I was writing just to remember how the tunes went for later. It's a really basic device. So, it could work for your intentions, if you had the right jack, but I don't know how the sound quality will be. (:

Not sure what you mean by transcriptions, but what I use it for is to use earphones and extra speakers and still have an extra outlet. It reproduces with excellent quality

It depends on the interview. Using this during a one on one interview would be just fine, recording in a lecture hall maybe not as well. The closer to the source, the better. I would recommend using this with the app Voice Record Pro from Bejbej apps. The app has individual gain and silence detection controls. Of course with any mic, testing it out is essential.

Using normal voice - Sounds good at one foot, can hear reasonably well recorded from 5 feet away, harder but can still hear recorded from 10 feet away.

It will work terrifically for voices only. You also don't have to be right on top of the microphone to get the voices clearly.
