Would I need to get a separate usb mic to be able to use Skype, or does it have one of those in-built ones? I see that there's no microphone port.

No there's a mic already built in and it works with Skype, chatroulette, and the Lenovo video capture thing.

It does have a microphone, its a microphone/headphone combo jack. You do not need a separate usb mic, i use it with skype, no problems. hope this helps, good luck.

I have not used the microphone yet, so I can't say. To my knowledge, the USB port is only media. You can charge it via mini USB while using it though. It also comes with its own rechargeable battery that's lasts a good while.

I'll be frank. You do not want to use a mic that plugs into your PC or soundcard. Put your other USB devices on a a powered external hum and plug your mic into a free PC USB port. Even if you were to get a standard XLR mic you would still need a preamp that provided Phantom Power and a USB interface to connect it to your PC. some Preamps have interfaces built in.

This headset does not work with windows so there are two things you can do: Possibility one: download additional proprietory software (forgot the name... search the skype forum... I tried it free for a few days and it worked... lousily) Possibility two (recommended): return this headset and get one that works with windows.

it has a build-in microphone. we use it when skype with friends. the bad thing is my computer does not automatically pickup the microphone; have to manually select it every time.

once you have it set up on your computer and it's a recognized device.. the answer is yes. no problem. You will need an application that will be able to record what you say. for example recorder on windows can do this just fine. Just remember to speak clearly into the microphone. or you will get lots of errors. good luck and have fun. it's a nice microphone. I got it for my Mom so we can use skype to talk on for free.

It works with standard windows drivers, so you don't need software to use it with Skype. If you want to record then you will need to get some kind of recording software. Recording length will depend on the software you get.

It does not come with a microphone cable. You will need to purchase this separately.

there is no USB port but there is an additional port for using the headset for PC. and there is no separate wire for the mic.

Yes you can. This mic functions just like another other mic and I have used it with Skype too.

I have not used mine for Skyping, so I am not familiar with that. I did use it to record for an email, and the volume was okay. This was using the built in mic. I'm sorry I can't help you any further than that. Have you tried a microphone plugged into the jack?

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.
1846844
Yes. A tiny one comes with it also for laptops and it's the most amazing microphone I've owned. Use for Skype everyday.

If you have Skype on it there should also be a microphone. Go to control panel then click on hardware & sounds to look for it.
