How is the voice recorded on this product? Is there a lot of background noise? Is there a hum in the background of recorded voice?

The headset does not have noise cancellation so background noises are picked up, but I didn't notice much in the way of the device adding sound or noises to recordings. Please note - I am using teh headset for telephone communication and recording phone messages are not very high fidelity.

The sound quality is excellent. There is no noise reduction so the high frequencies will not be filtered out. That is a desirable feature: your voice will sound bright and clear rather than dull and muddy.

No its a piece of garbage, u get what u pay for. I connected to laptop, I recorded my voice but it still has poor quality. Don't waste your money.

It totally depends on the unit. Mine won't play back audio without crackles here and there but others don't have that issue. A bit of a crap shoot unfortunately. I still use a different interface for recording for what that's worth.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

Hi Sharon, I've only recorded a couple videos right after I received the camera and those were only for testing the record function. I didn't record any audio but I do remember some slight wind noise. I just did a quick test recording the tv sound and it was ok. If you decide to purchase the camera, keep in mind the microphone is located on top close to where you would hold it with your left hand. Also, it is not stereo. The camera has served my needs and I've been very pleased with it. Photos are not DSLR quality but pretty good nonetheless. Wi-fi backup and sending via email on my home network work great. Sorry I don't have a better reply regarding the sound quality.

Sorry to say I haven't used mine much BUT, it does work. It will record your voice just fine. When you load MP3s it will also remove the voice track, but because it's blended in, you lose some of the music track as well. But, to just straight record your voice, it works fine. It has 2 external mic's but I would use a plug in. You have to be kinda close to the onboard mic's.I have used the GB10 guitar version extensively and that thing kicks butt so I would imagine this is no different. I have just used it in a very limited way.

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).

Assuming you are using the device properly, this is either due to your phone having a lot of background noise you tuned out during the conversation, or that you moved your phone around a lot against your ear, making sounds the device recorded. Did the portions with your voice sound more clear than the portions where your interviewee was speaking? If so, I would blame your phone connection. Your recorder can't improve the sound quality delivered by your phone.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

Yes use overdub and equalizer to tone your voice do sound check first then record=good product

Yes it is. Haven't had the time to familiarize myself with all the features, but I used it for an informal interview and was able to record without a problem. If the audio on the recorder itself is muffled for any reason, it becomes much clearer when you plug in a set of headphones.

I initially bought a high end laptop for audio recording and processing. Its mics were picking up hard disk noise which turned out to be a constant annoyance. With another desktop the recorded sound was picking up power transformer humming noise. I have voice recorders from three other brands similar to this unit. When run on battery these recorders do not pickup such noise.

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.

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.

All of what has already been said, AND, the headphone link is very noisy. Mine is anyway. Buzzes...hums... Same with two different inputs, two different power sources, no matter where it is placed. It's not an enviromentally induced noise...it's the converter.

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.
