I purchased this for my son so he could use at his desktop while gaming. He uses headphones also. He really loves this mic And says it works great.

This is a good mic. I purchased it for my church. We have a mackie system that it is hooked into. It gives a great clear sound. We have also used it for conferences at hotels. It was a great buy and I would highly recommend it.

Yes, works great with the PC. If you want the mic to work though you're going to have to get a blue tooth dongle and pair it with your computer. I couldn't get that to work so I ordered the PC Chat Adapter Cable Kit for Turtle Beach ® & Similar Gaming Headsets. Mic works GREAT!

It's one of the best. However, because of it's low output, you will need an audio interface that produces at least 60db gain. This setup on the higher price spectrum, but the quality is phenomenal. Many people in broadcasting use this mic.

You need a good bit of gain, no matter how you get it. I run mine through a 14 channel mackie mixer with sound gates, processors. etc. That's all optional, any mixer should provide enough gain. Do not use phantom power, will destroy mic. If you have a mixer with at least 60 gain you'll be straight. I've never run it through a PC, so I'm not sure in that end. You just need some gain bud. A beautiful mic. You'll enjoy it.

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!

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.

I purchased it about a year and a half ago. I used it for a while and it was adequate however I primarily used it on Ventrilo and Teamspeak and my friends would complain about it not being loud enough. If I turned on mic boost the volume would be fine but then the mic would pick up a lot of background and white noise. I'm sure it can be tweaked and work with whatever program you are going to use it for but it just proved to be more hassle than it was worth. I replaced it with a different mic about three months ago.

I bought the headset and it works very well as a gaming headset and for communicating via voip or in game chats but it is not a headset designed for the music afficiando. Great for gaming but if you are interested in bass i reccomend you look at skull candy or beats, but they aren't cheap unfortunately.

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...

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

I've used this mic for a podcast, and it handles a speaking voice just fine. For instrumentals, I've had more success with the Blue Yeti.

you need headpohones or earbuds to use this as a gaming mic. otherwise the speakers will provide too much feedback and it will sound bad.

Hi Todd, I only use the headset for Teamspeak (Ventrilo, Skype, etc). I then have the rest of the audio coming through my computer speakers. If I am running all audio through a headset, I switch to my wireless surround sound headset because the sound quality is so much better. The sound quality on the G330 is just ok. I purchased it because the g330 is very breathable and doesn't leave a line in my hair like traditional headsets. You can do multiple hour sessions, but during extended periods your ears may get a little sore where the plastic rests on them. The mic on this unit is very good and I never gets complaints regards of the software I am using it with. This is in my opinion the best wrap around headset out there. If that is what you are looking for you will like it. Just don't expect premium sound quality.

I can't address any issues with this mic. as I bought it for my grandson's camera when filming deer hunts. I haven't heard anything negative from him, but am sure I would if it didn't perform well for him.
