Does the in line microphone work well? Is effected by ambiant noises?

the only part that works is the sound, non of the buttons or microphone work on the headphones

This microphone produces an internal noise, sort of close to a high B above middle C. It's good for a shotgun technique for things like Youtube videos, but I wouldn't use it for production level videos. Here's a stupid video I did with this mic. Notice the hum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0EJul05cIo

Only with serious noise on the line, at least in our setup. Didn't matter what we plugged into on either end, we ended up with a lot of hiss when audio was not active. So if there was a pause between words on a Skype call, there was hiss in that pause.

I recently used the in-cable microphone with a near by fan and the person on the other line heard me clearly and did not hear the noise around me.

have not had any issues with sound, have used it in multiple locations that have had loud background and foreground sounds outdoors, school concerts and parties. Internal microphone is very good. Only wish the unit had a remote so playback to an older tv was a little easier to manage.

The mics in this recorder are sensitive. It might sound s little bit tinny that way, but it will do it.

Not sure if yours is defective without using it myself, but I have no problems with noise when I use mine. The only way there is noise is getting feedback from cupping the mic around the top, etc. I love both of mine and have not really had issues. Hope this helps.

The microphone in this device is very sensitive. In fact it's too sensitive that you hear all background noise very clearly so it's almost impossible to use outside. Inside I still find a slight hiss and still hear background sounds even in the quietest of rooms. So.. For multiple person interviews the best bet is to use multiple lapel pins connected to one of its interface. In a pinch u can try to use it indoors but be prepared to do some cleanup of noise after u record

Yes, it has built in microphone that work quite well. We video taped our band and the mix off the camera was even better than the sound directly recorded from the mixing board due to the spatial ambience of the arena we were playing in.

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

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.

No. Here's a link to a video of probably the loudest event I've shot with it- so far. It may not seem that loud now, but I had to wear earplugs. What it will do is reveal weaknesses in the PA system and sound mix. In other words, if the sound is bad, it'll record it just like it is. If it's good, like in this video, it'll sound good later on playback. One of the main reasons I bought this camera was to record bands, and so far, so good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvLGa96YMLU

No, this mic all round is no good. It's not worth the LONG wait either. I highly suggest looking for a different microphone. I beat box a lot and wanted a mic so I got this, Audio-Technica ATR-1300 Unidirectional Dynamic Vocal/Instrument Microphone It is a really decent microphone, and I haven't had a single problem with it.

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

I have not used mine a lot but so far I have not noticed any noise. I have used it for GarageBand sessions and have not picked up any noise in the recordings.

It's actually pretty good, I use my camera on a family room where the TV is 20 feet away and when I do Skype the other party has no trouble hearing me and also there's no feedback either, it seems to be a good quality microphone.
