I didn't make any calls when I got it. I only could use the home button I don't recommend this product I know but if you spend more you will get something better and it will last

It could just be the mic because it is not very good quality. I doubt it is picking up fan noise, this mic won't pick up a noise that quiet at all. You can try plugging it into the back of your computer instead of the front. The microphone jack in the front tends to pick up more interference from the internal cord, but the one in the back is a direct connection to your sound card. You could also upload your audio to Audacity (free software) to take care of any static or buzz you have. Check Google for how to eliminate the static, lots of people have made tutorials.

Mine works well, make sure everything is connected correctly, and that you have the microphone away from as much interference as possible.

I had problems with my mic on Windows 7. Works fine on Windows 8. There could be a ton of reasons though. You need it set as default in your sound setting and typically selected in the program you are using too. Also, if the mic boom is straight up, it turns the mic off.

are you using any kind of channel mixer? Or are you going straight into a powered speaker? I find that when you don't use a mixer, you have less control. If you are using a mixer, try lowering the bass to near 0. That being said, once you have a grip on the mic, it shouldn't be making noises, if you're getting noises when being passed around from hand to hand, then all I can say is that you'll get that with almost any mic this price range.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

Make sure that you don't have the black plug in the mic jack, they are reversible. Try the other way and see if that works. If that doesn't you need to go to control panel and check the setting there. There should be an icon on the bottom right of the task bar that will bring those settings up.

Check the volume of speaker. Make sure you plug in both the USb and the microphone into the computer. If problem still persist, call customer service.

This isn't the best of quality mic. Phantom power may have something to do with it. Are you using it for video in camera recording? If so don't record in camera alway use external recorders. I have this mic, I don't totally hate it but I know a better quality mic would get me better sound but for the price I paid for this I'm not mad...

The wires are probably gone bad. Or broke a bit try adjusting. Or could be feed back from your environment. The microphone is sensitive

not sure what version of windows you are using but in win 7, go to start, control panel, hardware and sound, sound, click on the recording tab and make sure the microphone is selected. Hit apply and you should be all good. You might have to reboot after this process.

I can't get it to recognize my voice even in a quiet environment. I have no experience with it in a noisy environment.

As Steel mentioned, the microphone is "echoy" and picks up more background noise than the person speaking. It's odd since it's supposed to do the opposite but to fix that I bought a separate inline mic cable (a Beats cable with microphone).

I have also had this issue and I think the part of the rubber casing that covers the microphone muffles the sound. I actually have got in the habit of pulling that part open to talk! It's kind of a pain - I might cut it off!

Not sure, but if you are referring to having it connected to a computer it could be a soft ware issue. I think I was covering up the mic with my hand at times inadvertently while recording.
