Being into high end 'Hi-Fi' headphones rather than gaming headsets, I found myself needing a mic. A friend reccomended the mod mic by Antlion so I got one and it is excellent!
However curiosity also made me get one of these, despite the somewhat 'mixed' reviews and I can say that for the price, this little mic is EXCELLENT.
It clearly picks up my voice and suprisingly, not much of the background noise either. I have done a side by side recording of my voice with both this and the modmic, and the difference is MINIMAL. This mic picks up really well and almost sounds the same as the modmic (which is 4 times the price), it is a little noisier, but thats due to its design and placement.
Overall a great product and the best value 3.5mm mic on amazon.

I must say for the price this clip on mic is amazing. Do a lot of online gaming on my pc over the past 7 years since it was built and this guy has served me well and true for many of them. Before getting this I used to use a selection of gaming headsets with mics and while the quality of the mic was generally better there, the sound quality was much worse. Hence after just getting decent headphones to use with my pc that didn't have a mic (audio technica m20x), I needed something along these lines to fill in the missing mic gap.
My friends commented the mic didn't sound as good as ones on my previous gaming headsets but it was still pretty decent quality. And for the price you can't go wrong. Ideally you would be using something like Discord/Teamspeak/Mumble etc anyway with push to talk or voice activated talk so background noise wouldn't be going through to those you're speaking too.

It's a good microphone IF:
1) you bought a separate (cheap) USB soundcard, which is recommended since it removes a lot of the background noise and amplifies the microphone sound
2) you don't plan on using it for streaming or live commentary, where background noise cancellation is important
The disadvantages of this mic are, as stated in it's title - it's overly sensitive omnidirectional microphone with no noise cancellation. The quality of this microphone is an upgrade over most headsets - which makes it good for gaming, but you have to play a bit with mixer settings on PC to compensate (quite well I might say) for the constant humming that you hear and avoid hearing every other little noise in your room. You can minimise it quite a bit (the humming) but you can't get rid of it completely. If you are planning to use it with your console - I wouldn't recommend this mic since you don't have access to any good software sound mixers that the PC has.
In the end I would definitely recommend it as a good mic for PC gaming, videocalls, but not a good mic if you are serious about having no background noise.

Too quiet, the cord is quite thin which I expected but the clip it uses to clamp on to a pair of headphones isn't a clip at all, it's just two flaps of plastic which you have to shove the headphone wire into, which leads to the next problem: whenever it tugs on something it pulls the headphones wire with it which makes me very worried it will pull out and break my headphones one day. It just feels like a deadweight on my headphone wire. Also the mini clips which run along work for the most part but they still slip off the wire they are clipped onto every now and then.
Because of its sound levels I had to turn up the sound reception in windows to maximum and now it picks up too much air static when talking to people online and some are constantly asking what I'm saying.
Overall it might work for you if you just want a few skype calls every now and then but other than that it isn't a long term solution to regular online calls or gaming.

My Logitech headset's mic broke and I needed a quick mic to play with friends, after a few online review this one was recommended as a cheap alternative.
I purchased one in hopes of a temp replacement while I browse for a new headset.....there won't be a new headset. The quality on this cheap looking mic is EXCELLENT. Unbelievably excellent.
Cable is very long, 3 meters maybe? Has clips that can be used to clip it to the headset. Only problem is they don't work very well, I had to use velcro strips to fully secure it. Great buy.

If you are powering this through your front panel audio or rear mobo audio it will have some noise and be about a 3/10 passable quality.
However, if you use this as instructed in a soundcard or through an audio mixer where it recieves more voltage such as the Behringer Xenyx 302USB that I use it sounds incredible. I'd say the audio is a 6/10 using my £100 Audio technica AT20-20 as a baseline for a 10.
Absolutely blown away by the quality of such a cheap microphone.
Again, if you're giving it the 1V or so from a normal 3.5mm port it's passable but it really shines with 2.5V~ from a mixer or soundcard

I bought this microphone for my Youtube channel as a replacement mic for my broken blue snowball and let me tell you, this thing is so worth it.
The sound is amazing after the audio track has been put through some effects on audacity and sounds better than my original mic ever did. If you want to buy this product I would recommend that you do but it should be known that it picks up a lot of background noises which can be a bit distracting for professional use.
The only design flaw would be the cable which is way too long and can get annoying when you need it to be neat but has some zip ties to hold it in place which normally fixes the problem.
