I would recommend this card no matter what. It is 25$ and it was a huge improvement over my onboard sound (although I bought my computer in 2007). I have no idea about the headphone situation though.

I only use windows 7 but its a plug n plug usb driver so it should definitely work. If you're careful with your things, you won't break it. If you don't speak in hush whispers, the mic works great. And oh yea, the sound is -very- good for the price. This is the fourth one I've bought. On one a speaker died after 3 years of consistent usage, and the other one got thrown at me by an angry woman. I replaced them both for the lady and I, and I'll do it again in another 3 years or so.

TO be honest, I have not done a comparison between the two. But what I have found is that the built-in mic is of good quality for voice recording, even in a largish room. It has worked fine for me. I recorded in the mode where it just records when it has a voice to record. Been happy with this product.

I found this dock had pretty poor audio quality. I'd recommend a higher end dock since they last a while anyways (if they have aux or usb connections) and spending more would make sense in the long term and give higher audio quality.

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...

This is a good unit; i've used it for many, many hours, and it performs. That said, I always use it with external mic-in, and not with the onboard mics. I've tried those, they work, but my overall advice with what every you buy is this; try it before you go, and I mean thoroughly. Record, know how to adjust the record volume and then listen to it, under the conditions you bought it for. If you're going to edit it (say, with Audacity) and then distribute it by MP3, then actually go through those steps and know what you will get. Been there, done that, this is good advice.

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.

They make similar looking mics that are made to connevt directly to usb and come with built in table stands...look for one of those, this won't be what you're looking for.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D

You didn't mention if you're going to simply be listening or doing recording/editing, so I'll give you a general answer. The built-in speakers aren't great, but you if you're doing something like editing tracks, you should be using monitors or a headset anyway. I've used both a bluetooth headset and a gaming headset with USB connector and have noticed a couple of things. The Bluetooth sounds spectacular. The USB has a faint hiss as soon as you plug it in, though not as noticeable in the USB 3, and definitely better than the on-board speakers. I think the hiss is just general noise from the electrical-from not having perfect shielding on the internal wires-but that's a bit much to ask for any laptop. I was a music major and studied audio engineering in college, so I get where you're coming from. I wasn't that impressed with this thing at first, but it's shown me what it can do and now I'm impressed and honestly really fond of it. You won't want to master anything on this, but it's going to be insanely portable and can handle a lot, considering the price point.

I believe the Flash Survivor may be USB 2.0 and the Stealth may be USB 3.0; I have only owned the former (and wasn't impressed, per my review - mine didn't Survive), though I've had other Corsair drives. I believe this theoretically results in faster data transfer, but I didn't notice a big difference back when mine worked.

Yes I use it for my desktop and it works really well. The mic is crystal clear. Definitely worth the price. Has two jacks btw, 1 for headphone and 1 for mic

Hey Candy, This microphone works with phantom power, so if you want connect it to your computer you are going to need a phantom to usb adapter such as Blue Icicle. Blue Icicle adapter is going to allow you to power your mic with your computer and record with any application or software of your preference after you set it up as your computer external mic. You can find this in amazing too. No cords come with the mic set, you only get the pair of microphones plus the microphone's holder for each one. MXL is a great brand and this pair will offer you an amazon sound quality, although, the problem with phantom powered microphones is that they are very sensitive to temperature. You are dealing with professional equipment, there for maintenance is important. If what you are looking for is a good quality usb microphone, i will recommend you to take a look at Blue. They build great usb powered microphones such as "the snowball. very portable, not too heavy, extremely durable and most importantly good sound quality. this lil guy comes with the stand a cord, ready to go. amazon prizes this product for $49.99 (half the prize of the MXL 550/551) If what you are looking for is good quality and portability, ready to go mic. I will recommend you to go for the Blue Snowball microphone. Great from home standard recording. Otherwise take a look at the blue icicle usb adapter to connect it to your computer. Good Luck!!!

Yeah. In fact the support team it's pretty nice. Here is the link to the driver http://www.presonus.com/products/AudioBox-USB/downloadsBut you must be very careful and follow the instructions before doing anything.

It only has midi input and headphone jack, so no USB or some other easier alternative. You will only be able to record audio from it
