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.

I use them primarily for drama presentations and testimonials. I rarely get feedback because each mic has its own frequency. It has been used a couple of times for singing and it was okay. However, I do experience channels going dead intermittently. I've sent back once and the overall response comment was operator error. I will be upgrading as soon as the budget allows.

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?

Very much so. I am also in the work from home category and I use this product with Skype. I have never had a complaint about someone having a problem hearing me and everything sounds clear to me as well. The range on this is also great. My office is upstairs and I can go downstairs and out the door without loosing quality. Of course my house is not huge either :)

I've used this mic for a podcast, and it handles a speaking voice just fine. For instrumentals, I've had more success with the Blue Yeti.

I've never used the mic for chat, but it's quality for audio recording suggests to me it would be fine...especially for the price. I've not used it in videos, but based on my use in audio, it should be fine. Sorry couldn't be more definitive. I'd probably try it for those applications. Hope that helps a little.

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

Yes it does very nice sounding speakers actually. You can Skype fine, but the camera is not very good quality, especially in low light conditions.

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.

It works perfectly fine I use mine to listen to music and to make and answer phone calls, I have absolutely no complaints about this product. The microphone is exactly where it. The best to be the advice I can gave is to try it out and judge for yourself u wont regret it

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

I would say the quality is fair to good. The microphone is located on the right side as a part of the controls. The performance is alright for a short period but not off a lengthy conversation.

Fairly good pick up with this Mic and depending on the software and how well you adjust the input it should do a great job for you. I have been using this mic for a year now for podcasting and have been able to narrow the pick up range to cut out the majority of ambient noise..

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

It's pretty good when I use it for phone calls. The only time I have problems are when I cover the mic up by mistake.

The speaker phone is pretty good, sounds clear and the mic is sensitive enough. The interface with android is also good; you can switch to phone if you don't want the conversation public, then it'll go right back to the music when you hang up.
