How good is the mic quality compared to the PC 360's?

I own both headsets and they both use the same technology for the Microphone. I use it to record audio and if I had to choose between the two I would pick the 360 by very close margin. hope this helps. But honestly, you cant go wrong with either headset.

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

It's decent. Superior to the Gh2 for sure, but I still use a Rode shotgun mic.

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.

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

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.

If you want to take the astro mix amp + pc headset route, i'd recommend the Senn pc360. That seems to be agreed on as the best combo for quality surround sound. Pricey though. Honestly, save money and get the u320's. You'll be happy with the sound.

The voice quality from the mic is good. Done a lot of skype calls with no complaints. I've only had it for about 6 months, so it's too soon to say on the durability. It still woks as good as new at this point.

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...

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!

its pretty good. it does have some issues with skype though but I've used them for gaming and it works fine. (skype might be the issue though it works very poorly on windows 8)

Yeah it does Katherine, you're gonna need some adapter to get the mic working though, it works great on pc and 360 but i seriously don't notice any differenced from using a $80 headset

I bought them for my PC great sound and you can get it very loud. So I would say yes, the sound quality is great!

Does the sound quality sound nice still with these headphones even with mic on it?

They are very similar in many ways. I got the PC 360 before these but sent them back because the velvet-ey feel on the earcups weren't comfortable for me at all. They both sound very similar though. Unfortunately neither of these have active noise cancellation but but having the PC 350E's on your head are far better than the PC 360 because of its closed-back design. I can without a doubt say that both of those headphones are great and the purchase just comes down to your personal preference. Good luck!

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.
