How does the mic perform? Good enough for skype, google hangout, etc?

This particular pair does not have a mic. Instead, it has a volume control slider in the place where a mic would be. The ones that say "with mic" have one and I love the quality. I use it for phone conversations all the time and no one has ever had a hard time hearing me.

I haven't noticed an issue. I haven't used it with a mic that much, but the couple of times I have for basic voice overs, I had plenty of gain. It's USB powered, so there probably is something to the complaint of weaker gain in comparison with a standard interface or mixer, but again... I had plenty.

I can't speak to the Google Hangout connection but the mic placement should work. Mic inputs all feed one usb out.

Mic is overall good but sometimes people can't hear me where there's a lot of noise. Noise isolation is good, too much noise isolation is dangerous

Boy, I don't know. I've only used it for voice over. I would say a capsule mic would probably suite you better, the GXL2200 picks up everything and with a drum mic you don't necessarily want that.

Yeah, for what it is, the microphone works great. I was actually really surprised at how well the mic captured everything while recording. You should easily be able to record interviews with it.

I have tried Skype only and it works well for my needs. We use it for an occasionally chat with my wife's family members currently in Europe as well as one of our close friends in Colorado that we don't get to visit often. Can't help with the Hangouts question as I've never looked into using that or set it up. Good luck to you, it is a great product and we're still raving about ours. We showed friends on Easter and it was a big hit.

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?

The simple answer is yes. I have found, the mic only marginally useful as it picks up not only the wearers voice but also the the surrounding 'noise'. Only useful in a one to one situation.

Hi Solrac. The mic is pretty good. I am told the sound quality matches my iPhone 5s, but you need to hold it fairly close to your mouth for best results. It also works well with SIRI, but I 'kind' of suspect a lot of ambient noise can confuse it a wee bit. I've had mine a while now, and I have decided I prefer the sound quality over the Sony buds I'd been using. I often plug into earphones in stores for the sake of comparison, and even high end Bose don't live up to the MM30i for sound quality IMO. I think the Sennies are stronger too, with better cable strain relief, because I have caught mine several times without ill effect. I will definitely get the same again when I eventually break my current ones. Yes, I like them a lot!

I have skype on mine, but you will need ear buds or something. The internal speakers are not strong

I purchased it about a year and a half ago. I used it for a while and it was adequate however I primarily used it on Ventrilo and Teamspeak and my friends would complain about it not being loud enough. If I turned on mic boost the volume would be fine but then the mic would pick up a lot of background and white noise. I'm sure it can be tweaked and work with whatever program you are going to use it for but it just proved to be more hassle than it was worth. I replaced it with a different mic about three months ago.

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

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good. I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys. Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

No issues as far as I've had it. It's only been 4 months but overall amazing mic!

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.
