Can I use the microphone on these on my windows 8 desktop machine?

You would just need an adaptor to split the connection into the mic jack and headphone jack.

The mic built into the cord is made for smartphones. You computer would have to have the right type of jack in order to work with the mic. Most computers have both headset and mic jacks separately. A tablet might be different. Hope this helps! :)

I tried this and it did not work. I plugged the headphones into the microphone jack on a desktop computer running Windows XP. I went to the control panel to test if the mic was working and it was not. It doesn't seem to work this way. But I have been using the headphones for quite some time now and they are excellent. Very good sound! And the mic works great during calls also.

Yes, you can select any microphone you plug-in to your computer. But, why would you do so when the build-in Logitech microphone provides excellent sound quality?

Yes, assuming your PC has the normal mic jack. It works with anything with the normal mic input.

Yup. I use them frequently with my PC. Just plug the USB and microphone jack in and you are good to go.

No, you can record with any USB Microphone that has the correct drivers and is recognized by your OS.

Only if the computer you are using has Phantom power. Most condenser microphones require Phantom power to work. I would recommend purchasing a mixer to use with your computer as the sound quality and recording will be better.

You can but it's likely you'll need either an audio interface or mixing board for your mic. If you ready have either connected to your PC you should be fine.

Yes, I am using them with Windows 8 and Lync 2013 now. They were immediately recognized and appropriate drivers were loaded when I plugged them into the USB port the first time. In addition, they are comfortable and quiet, with good call clarity both speaking and listening. They also work well for listening to music . . . I am very satisfied.

Yes, you can. I actually have done it several times. As long as you have a Mic input in your PC there shouldn't be any problem.

No, I use it for my Windows computer. It's just the same as a normal desktop microphone for a computer.

Yes you can! I bought them and was pleasantly surprised to see that my laptop actually did recognize them as an inline mic, as most of the time it doesn't recognize headphones with inline mics as having a mic as well. Oddly enough, it DID NOT appear on the list of recording devices but they were definitely picking up sound as evidenced by my skype conversation partners. Your mileage with them may vary though!

You should, provided the connections are right. The microphone can be positioned directly in front of one's mouth, so clarity can be assured. Keep in mind that with almost anyspeech recognition system there will be a learning period both on your part and the machine's part. Since it works with my Dragon(r) speech-ware, it should work with Win 8 just fine.

Latest drivers can be found online and installed easily. They are stable on windows 7 as well. The sound is clear, but the input cables and signal needs to be clean. Any microphone can be used.

it only works on Windows 7...don't have Windows 8.1, but you could use a 40mm or 50mm analog headphone instead?
