How good is the microphone? Is it better than a phone's mic?

I've talked to several people while using it and have zero problems. No one knows I have my headphones on. No complaints. You can answer and hang up from the hanging button thingy.

It depends on what you want to use it for. I used it for my gaming. A phone would probably be very hard to hear

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

It doesn't have a mic, no. You can answer calls and use your phones external mic. The sound quality is great. Phiaton does make a version with a mic though.

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

The quality of the mic is very good the volume rocker on the side helps for the cobition of the background noise from outside , ive used it for videos, voice over the quality is very good if you are starting with the podcasting industry , upgrading will be needed as the quality of sound may be desirable with a little more expensive mic , I would suggest a Blue microphone or the Mammoth brand more expensive but the quality if the best

It's really good lol. I scared someone with it last week. Ironically I was using the app on my iPhone just playing with it and I clicked on the microphone icon and I could hear what was going on.

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!

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.

Hey! I've only used the mic feature once on my girlfriends iPhone. Seems to only work on apple products. I use android which I can't get the mic to work. It might just be my phone though. When I used it I thought it was good. Nice and clear. I've never been on the other side but I didn't get any complaints from the person.

I am confident it will be better than the cellphone mic. I have been very happy with this mic. I record a lot of presentations in pretty large rooms with great success. I initially bought it when I had an iPhone 4. It did not work quite as well with the iPhone 5 but it works great with my Samsung Note 3. For the price it would be worth a try.

I have personally had no complaints at all about the mic quality. Granted, I have not used too many mics in my day, but I can say for absolutely certain that its quality is better than both built-in mics on either of my laptops. None of my friends have ever complained about the quality of my voice while voice chatting during gaming. That said, it's not comparable to much more expensive mics, but I feel it does the basic job of a headset mic, such as for gaming, excellently.

oh yes, it has a mic, and a good one too. I live in an area that can be quite windy at times, in the past I couldnt make phone calls from outside because the wind noise was too much. Now I can, on most days, still make calls because the mic somehow cuts the wind noise down to a reasonable level and people can hear me just fine, and i can definitely hear them because the earbuds are so snug and the sound quality so good, so clear.

Correction, I was responding about a different device. I use the phones with my Apple Nano, so I don't use the mic at all.

I think the quality of the audio produced by this camera is very good. I, personally, would not buy an external microphone. It's a decision you would have to make after viewing your video and seeing if the sound quality is what you prefer, but for me..it's just fine.

The voice quality from the mic is good. Done a lot of skype calls with no complaints. I've only had it for about 6 months, so it's too soon to say on the durability. It still woks as good as new at this point.
