How does the mic perform? does it pick up too much environmental noise?

No issues with external noise. You need to put the mic directly in front of your mouth to get the best sound. Other than that, make sure the engineer has good levels for you.

Hi Solrac. The mic is pretty good. I am told the sound quality matches my iPhone 5s, but you need to hold it fairly close to your mouth for best results. It also works well with SIRI, but I 'kind' of suspect a lot of ambient noise can confuse it a wee bit. I've had mine a while now, and I have decided I prefer the sound quality over the Sony buds I'd been using. I often plug into earphones in stores for the sake of comparison, and even high end Bose don't live up to the MM30i for sound quality IMO. I think the Sennies are stronger too, with better cable strain relief, because I have caught mine several times without ill effect. I will definitely get the same again when I eventually break my current ones. Yes, I like them a lot!

Hello, The mic is great, im using it in my Playstation 4 and non of my friends can tell is not a gamer headset, Even if the volume buttons doesnt work on Android devices the mic still working

Correction, I was responding about a different device. I use the phones with my Apple Nano, so I don't use the mic at all.

Even though it has an internal pop filter.. I still put a ball filter on it.. You can be an inch away from the mic and no wind noise at all

According to the people I've talked to while using it, it's pretty bad. My dad suspects the microphone is too sensitive, so it clips (if you're familiar with that sound phenomenon) unless you're talking quite softly and you move the mic as far away from you as possible. I would not have purchased it if I knew it would sound this way.

Depends how loud you are talking about, this type of mic has narrow pick up pattern, but if put it too close to the source of noise, it probably will have some minimal effect on it.

I personally have done neither but for the most part my friends have commended the quality of the mic and it does not pick up to much background noise.

No. I boaght this becuase i heard good things about it. After only 3 uses it shorted out started getting static noise and 0% voice pick up. Even when it did work, it could barely pick up any thing. My advice: skip it, spend the extra money get a good mic so it will be worth your money at the end of the day and you won't be disappointed like me.

Hi Michael,I really love this mic! Last summer I performed with it at an outside venue and had no problems whatsoever with any ambient noise or feedback. I agree with one of your other responders in that a _hypercardioid_ microphone would your best bet, however, in a really noisy environment. The AKG D5S is a supercardiod model.

If you've got your sound settings adjusted correctly then you shouldn't have to worry about too much background noise. I never had any issues with background noise while using this mic.

Depending on what kind of meetings you are recording, this is a good microphone to use. Know that it is a two sided microphone and picks up all sound so you will need to adjust your recording levels. If the meetings are filled with lots of ambient noise this microphone will pick it up, but with the right recording levels you can minimize the noise.

This would work really well for that. The only problem I could think you might have. The mic picks up everything so is there is a lot of background noise you will hear it all

My understanding of Noise Reduction is for the MIC. It reduces background noise that the Mic picks up.

The microphone is pretty good. Not as good as a regular headset, but it's worth it to feel safe from EMF.

I've never been on the other end of this mic. I don't know if they would be very good in a noisy environment. I've been told that the sound quality coming through the mic is really clear though, no complaints from other people of it cutting in and out or static like other headsets I've had in the past. These are by far my favorite headset I've ever owned. Very comfortable!

Very good overall quality for mic sound, not 100% sure about noise cancellation...I do not believe so.

I haven't had an issue with the mic at all. I used it for a class and had it live for 8hrs a day for 5 days and never heard a hum

I've been using it for a few months now. It's MUCH better suited to instruments than voice. I bought it to record my radio show and podcast, but it picks up so much ambient noise, it's just not meant for it. But it's good quality for music.

As said, it depends on the distance, but if you can hear it yourself, the mic will pick it up. You may want to increase the sensitivity to +20db, though. In any case set your camcorder's mic level as low as possible, or you will get a lot of noise. This is in general a good idea from my experience (I am using a Sony CX730)
