For all the people who gave this 5 stars... Have any of your guys tested the microphone with people via ventrilo/teamspeak etc?

Hi Benny, There is a firmware update that fixes some issues people have been experiencing with the microphone. Keep in mind that you should also check your audio settings in Vent as well as the audio configurations on your computer. As your friends to check the audio settings they have set for you in Vent as well as there is not as much need for so much gain. We find that on other headsets, players need to crank up the gain--when using the Sound Blaster World of Warcraft headset this is not necessary. Please contact us at socialmedia@creativelabs.com if you have any questions concerning the updated firmware or the status of your headset. Thanks, Tawnee Kendall Social Media Mgr Creative Labs

Jason I like your approach and believe it will work very well as you describe. I agree the last thing one wants is to mess up the other music or instruments signals. Remember to first do what you can avoid microphone feedback. This unit can mess up you voice signal as well. We like our FBQ1000 and use it on every gig.

Check out their website. I think the addition of a speaker Mic is addressed there. Sorry, but i don't remember the details.

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.

Good luck with that, this mic quality is horrible. I've tried everything they suggested and still ended with the same result. Bad mic quality.

I purchased it about a year and a half ago. I used it for a while and it was adequate however I primarily used it on Ventrilo and Teamspeak and my friends would complain about it not being loud enough. If I turned on mic boost the volume would be fine but then the mic would pick up a lot of background and white noise. I'm sure it can be tweaked and work with whatever program you are going to use it for but it just proved to be more hassle than it was worth. I replaced it with a different mic about three months ago.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I have only used the Mic with the Android APP (provided by Loftek too). It does not work very well, it's to sensitive to background noise and I have not been able to adjust it's sensibility. For IE and Google Chrome audio does not seem to work at all.

At this very moment I have two wired mics AND the wireless mic all THREE connected and the ALL work fine, with no hum or buzz!! I have had this unit for a few years and never needed to do this before, so this very moment is the first time I have ever done this!! I am a very happy camper!! Next, I will try to run the output into my laptop for an internet video call. If it works, I will jump and sing!!

It unfortunately does NOT record your own voice :( I am wondering the same thing myself on how to get my own voice in the game chat on the videos :/ Good luck finding something that words!! I am still looking, myself.

I use the mic close by also, and when I play back through my external speakers (or even the speakers built into the laptop), I have not had any feedback. This really is the best mic I've found out there. Hope this helps!!!

The Mic works really well, but some voices carry better than others. It's always best to encourage people to hold the mic close to their mouth. We're very happy with the mic.

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).
