My daughter needed a microphone for her P.C., as the mic on her webcam was useless. After searching through all the different microphones, we came across this one. I was a little sceptical as the mic was dead cheap and so was not expecting any quality. How wrong I was, this mic ticks all the boxes. Excellent!

Before I bought this mic from Amazon, I thought it would be fairly rubbish given it costs only four pounds. The surprising thing is that it's actually not bad at all for Skypeing. You need to keep the mic about 2-4 inches away from your mouth, and the reception at the other end is nicely clear, so I'm told. Any further away than 4 inches away and the mic fails to pick-up. But for four pounds it's cheap and cheerful enough.

Its a simple mic with a micro jack (don't know why somebody tagged it USB mic). Just make sure you adjust the input (double click the volume icon to bring up the mixer). Pretty much the same mic as the Open University issue with their Technology of Music. It's no studio mic - but then on the other hand is super cheap. Works fine for skypeing or recording your voice. If you buy one of those Sony hand recorders, this would be great for plugging in as a mic rather than just relying on the internal mic - or try a lapel version of this. What you are looking for at this price is an electret condenser mic.

Works well - I was cautious from earlier reviews, but I am very pleased with the item and its effectiveness.

Used for about a year hasn't broken yet and pretty good sound quality. Recommended buy

Great mic, clear sound and picks up my voice from across the room. Good value for money too!

I don't like having a headset mic when using Skype or using Team-Speak, so I bought this. It does the job perfectly well - I mean you're not going to be able to record a kitten break wind or the orgasmic shreaks of a shrew in the throws of passion but it's perfectly suitable for occasional ordinary computer use. In fact the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it's not very heavy so moves about on your desk (if you're as clumsy as me), some suction feet would sort that problem out Mr. Trust, if you're listening.

Quick efficient postage. Product in perfect condition. All working well and fine! An excellent little mic for use Skype :)

I would give it 3 stars but because its soo cheap I had to give it 4.
First of all the sound quality was bad but I simply reduced the Microphone Boost to + 10.0 dB, now it is clear.
YOU MUST PLAY AROUND WITH THE VOLUME AND MICROPHONE BOOST TO MAKE IT CLEAR! Otherwise you may be too quiet or have lots of static.
Go to start and search for mmsys.cpl and change the settings there.

Hope this helped.

Bought for my grand daughter who was delighted with it. I guess it is what she wanted as she hasn't complained !
