Mic quality? I'm worried about the mic picking up ambient noise - any complaints with the mic?

Then try it out yourself. Go onto the website before you ask bonehead questions. Don't be rude.

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)

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 would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed

They're actually very accurate mics, in my opinion. In that low of a price range I think you'll find them to be better, however they are pretty susceptible to noise, whether it's from interference, wind (even just from moving them), or the rumbling of handling the unit while you're recording. If you use external mics you don't get the handling noise, but the wind can be protected against with a wind screen.Despite all that noise stuff, I'm very happy with the internal mics! You just have to be careful while handling the unit when it's recording with them.

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

my mic works perfectly with no issues... if u tried messing with the settings and it still doesnt work it might just be a faulty product....

I have personally had no complaints at all about the mic quality. Granted, I have not used too many mics in my day, but I can say for absolutely certain that its quality is better than both built-in mics on either of my laptops. None of my friends have ever complained about the quality of my voice while voice chatting during gaming. That said, it's not comparable to much more expensive mics, but I feel it does the basic job of a headset mic, such as for gaming, excellently.

The quality of the mic is very good the volume rocker on the side helps for the cobition of the background noise from outside , ive used it for videos, voice over the quality is very good if you are starting with the podcasting industry , upgrading will be needed as the quality of sound may be desirable with a little more expensive mic , I would suggest a Blue microphone or the Mammoth brand more expensive but the quality if the best

Mic does not have noise cancellation. Microphone pickup is good. I have never had a problem with it. Background noise pickup seems to be pretty poor so even without noise cancellation the background noise does not drown you our or become annoying.

Most of the time it is a little feedback which corrects if you move the mic away from the speaker. Other than that, it seems it would be a defect. My only issue is sometimes it just quits.... which is irritating in the middle of an auction, but I may need to change batteries.

It depends on what settings you have set to your computer. I'd definitely recommend headphones or disabling real-time playback of what the mic picks up.

I have had no issues with the mic. I mostly use this at concerts working EMS and have no issues with communicating with it

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!!!

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

I wish I could help. Unfortunately, I never had much for problems with my mic. What type of program(s) are you using that's picking up the noise? And what's your operating system? I've used mine with things like Skype and Bandicam and it works fine (both on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1). I did notice I tried it with Steam before and it was picking up noise from my headphones, so not sure if that's related (but Steam seems to do this a bit with other people and their hardware as well).

I actually have not noticed a "lag" when using the mic as a listening device. One reason may be that I am using the headphone line-in on the mic and do not hear except through them. This is the only way to get a "clean" recording. Otherwise, the mic will pick up the ambient sound from your external speakers. However, there doesn't seem to be anything noticeable in the recordings.
