How about the quality of the ACM mic ?can it pick my voice from a distance (1.5 ~ 2 meters)? does it have a noise canceling feature so can I use it in gaming with no issues?

Eh...it's a great mic, but if you have speakers on, there WILL be feedback sent through. I don't think there's a mic that can realistically cancel out sound from the speakers but still pick up your voice. They advertise it as such, but the tech isn't really there. It's a great mic though for all intents and purposes!

I did try it, because I don't have the mic. You can check by search internet. I can say it, the sound very good. 10 time better the old soundblaster card. Very close the sound card omega claro xt

I use the soundblaster ZxR sound card and I use the noise cancellation feature that is built into the sound card. I run an extremely loud fan right next to my computer and I have been told that my mic sounds better than everybody else's. The mic is very good quality.

It's got to be the frequency range. It's a nice mike... good distance, good clarity. Only bad thing is that there is not enough mechanical isolation between the microphone body and the mic itself. It seems to pick up my wedding ring rather loudly.

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

I use it for voice. The quality is good to very good on both my laptop and desktop using the free Audacity software available at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ The mike tends to pop, but I put a 'wind sock over it and adjusted the mic boost in the sound section of the control panel of Windows and have been delighted considering the cost.

Since it has a noise canceling mic, you do not get a lot of bleed if you are also using speakers. I usually use the headset for voice chat while playing a game, so the game sound comes out the speakers while the voice chat sound comes out the headset. It works well.

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!

razer kraken USB comes with a digital mic and you can use the surround software from razer (the pay version) which let you configure a bunch of options. This software had a lot of glitches like a year ago, but it have been improved, I use it with my kraken usb for csgo and gtaV and it works pretty well

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!

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

You didn't mention if you're going to simply be listening or doing recording/editing, so I'll give you a general answer. The built-in speakers aren't great, but you if you're doing something like editing tracks, you should be using monitors or a headset anyway. I've used both a bluetooth headset and a gaming headset with USB connector and have noticed a couple of things. The Bluetooth sounds spectacular. The USB has a faint hiss as soon as you plug it in, though not as noticeable in the USB 3, and definitely better than the on-board speakers. I think the hiss is just general noise from the electrical-from not having perfect shielding on the internal wires-but that's a bit much to ask for any laptop. I was a music major and studied audio engineering in college, so I get where you're coming from. I wasn't that impressed with this thing at first, but it's shown me what it can do and now I'm impressed and honestly really fond of it. You won't want to master anything on this, but it's going to be insanely portable and can handle a lot, considering the price point.

The MXL picks up voices with surprising clarify from 15-20 feet away and more. It is very small and compact. You should use a set of speakers that can connect to the MXL via 3.5mm cable. Then it becomes a mic and speakers combo. I think you will find this device very useful as I have. :)

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.

The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch. It currently does not export sound to the headset but the mic works fine. It works awesome with a PC tho and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality headset. Caution it is wired and a bit short for my TV -> couch. The module is also 1/2 down the cord and pulls it down.Overall a great head set and no problems after 2 years.Reference: http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Peripherals-Support/7-1-Razer-Megalodon-headset-anyone-gotten-anything-but-the-mic/td-p/42581223 The Razer Kraken works and this one should soon with a patch.
