How does the mic perform? Good enough for skype, google hangout, etc?

This particular pair does not have a mic. Instead, it has a volume control slider in the place where a mic would be. The ones that say "with mic" have one and I love the quality. I use it for phone conversations all the time and no one has ever had a hard time hearing me.

It does have a built in mic but it isnt the greatest, however I have only used it once. Functionable but better at receiving than talking.

It's actually pretty good, I use my camera on a family room where the TV is 20 feet away and when I do Skype the other party has no trouble hearing me and also there's no feedback either, it seems to be a good quality microphone.

I have had no issues with the mic. I mostly use this at concerts working EMS and have no issues with communicating with it

Yes, I use this headset with Ubuntu 13.04, mainly for Google Hangouts, and it works great.

Hi Coty, have youtried the speakerphone function? how sensitive the mic is? can you speak like 0.5 m to 1 m from the mic and yet the other side still hear you clearly?

Yes indeed. Not the best quality though, but it does work well withing the latest versions of Skype. Good luck.

Boy, I don't know. I've only used it for voice over. I would say a capsule mic would probably suite you better, the GXL2200 picks up everything and with a drum mic you don't necessarily want that.

Yeah, for what it is, the microphone works great. I was actually really surprised at how well the mic captured everything while recording. You should easily be able to record interviews with it.

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!

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

I definitely like it for pc gaming and i like it, but if you already have a mic i would try that out and see if it works well with your setup and it sounds nice before you go and buy another one. I would always rather have this over a headset though.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

No. I'm satisfied with its built-in mic. Sensitive enough to pick up person's voice 20 feet away.

I have a Plantronics headset with mic and it has worked fine for me; though I have only used it for Go To Meeting calls.

I bought my headset more than three months ago and the microphone is fine. I am using mine with Voice Over IP on the computer and conduct approx. 5-7 conference calls a day using it with no complaints from those attending. It does allow you to control the volume or mute the headset which I love. Plus it doesn't pick up a lot of back ground noise.
