Will it work in a Lenovo laptop PC mic jack, for Skyping? And will it work while running an external USB webcam (Logitech HD Pro C920)?

Hi, this Sony Stereo Microphone uses stereo mini plug (3.5 mm jack). If your Lenovo laptop do have PC mic in, then it will work for Skyping. However, you may check the manufacturer of your webcam if it supports external mic. Hope this helps. -Ely

NO, is is NOT really compatible with a PC mic jack. This mic is designed to plug into a STEREO mic jack. Your PC's mic jack is mono. The PC mic jack does have three contacts but these are mic, +5 power, and ground, not left, right, and ground as on this mic. It might "work" but it will not give you stereo sound and you will get sound from the mic's left side only.

I have used it to record voice on a computer and it works fine. So, it should work with laptops too.

I use this mic all the time with skype on my macbook pro. It pic's up the audio much better than the computer mic. Hope this helps.

Works great with Skype. Not sure about magic jack but it is a microphone and speaker. so it should work just fine.

you can plug this into a microphone jack on a computer or laptop, but you will need an adapter that changes the end of the cord (1/4" plug) into a mini jack (like a headphone plug) to do it.

i hooked up a standard usb pc webcam into the usb port and could not get it to work with skype or see the video input from the camera anywhere else in any of the menus.there may be a solution but, that is as far as i went with it...the skype menu reported that no webcam was found, you can purchase a skype compatible webcam blah blah blah

I believe it will. It has a USB plug and works with the computer as a Microphone, Your question might be "will it work with X recording software?" I am using windows 7 and I didn't like the stock recording software and bought better. Now I am learning how to use that?

Not familiar with the detailed hardware you mention, but I bought for webinars on my PC. Your mic/spkr jacks should be the same on your laptop (3.5mm mini?). Very happy with these.

If you have a bluetooth receiver on your laptop, then yes. You would pair this as a microphone and then select it as the input audio inside Skype's options.

The mic is a USB interface device. So if your mac has usb ports, then it probably will. Can't say for sure though, I'm a PC. You can rotate the mic and wear it on left or right ear. Cord is about 7 feet long. Quality is about a 4/10 in terms of sound. I hear cracking and lite poping often enough. But it works find for talking to my friends on teamspeak while we play video games. Should work fine for any other voice communication application (like skype).The device is its own sound/audio device. So you can set your voice over application (like skype or teamspeak) to this specific device and still have music or video game sound come out your primary speakers.

Yes it worked well for that, however, when I used it for Skype the microphone was not sensitive enough to be heard.Have you used it for Skype and if so, how did it work?

Yes. I myself, however, would prefer a smaller mic with a stand specifically made for pc/laptop use, as opposed to this large hand-held mic (unless you have a large desktop and a stand for it...otherwise you have to hold it and I don't know how long it would be comfortable to do so. But yes, the small jack will fit and it will work just fine with a pc/laptop.

Yes, if your laptop has a headphones plug-in and a microphone plug-in it works just fine!

I have used the Lenovo headphones for Skype. the only issue is they seemed loud. that could be a setting on my machine (audio over all) but I didn't see how to control it with the Lenovo headset. the other person in the conversation was not effected. I used it once to receive and several times to call out. when I get rid of my landline from at&t in the near future, I will use it exclusively for calling and use the Lenovo headset. I should have included that some calls have mentioned that they thought the audio from me was too soft, but the calls were still successfully completed.

NO, is is NOT really compatible with a PC mic jack. This mic is designed to plug into a STEREO mic jack. Your PC's mic jack is mono. The PC mic jacks, and PC mics, have three contacts like this one does - which make many people believe they are compatible - but on the PC the contacts are mic, +5 power to the mic (this is why PC mics don't need an onboard battery, they get power from the jack), and ground. Not left, right, and ground as on this mic. It might "work" but it will not give you stereo sound and you will get sound from the mic's left side only.

Bobby, as I understand it, some mics need more voltage to work properly than others so I hesitate to say for sure without having used it myself. I can tell you for certain it works with the Audio Technica 875r and the Audio Technica AT899 Lav (which comes with it's own phantom power adapter anyway.. ) and it does just fine. In theory it should work with any mic that requires phantom power and uses a standard 3-pin XLR plug, but I admit I have not tried it with a lot of different mics.
