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 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.

They have good built-in mic. I use them for both music and call. Worth to buy.

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

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.

We are using it for podcasting, and it works fine. Due to the fact that it is a dynamic microphone, it doesn't pick up background noise as a condenser microphone typically will. However, it is of my opinion that you get what you pay for here. It is great value for the money, but a more expensive mic, like the Rode Procaster or Podcaster (if you want USB connectivity) will give you better sound. You really should avoid holding it while recording, as it picks up noise from hand movements. Also, I have found that it requires a bit of power - while using it with an iPad, it records in low volume. And watch out for popping; you should buy a windshield for it. All in all: If you are on a budget; buy it! Great value and ok sound. If you have the money, buy the Rode Podcaster, for example.

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.

I would say the Mic is average. Definitely could be better for the money but it gets the job done for phone calls. I have an android phone so the track controls don't work well. Overall its just ok. But sound is what really matters.

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

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've had few issues with this camera using Google Hangouts. From what I can tell, it looks smooth.

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).

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.

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.
