To be honest, it deosnt make too much of a difference if I have it on or not. I was using it on my Iphone and I could not tell a difference at all. I am not sure if it works with computers.

CORRECTION: not sure if mic works on PC, only used on Mac/ipad/iphone/andrioid devices. -yes, works on PC/mac/mobile, any device with 3.5mm audio slot-decent quality for the price, ofcourse not like a bose or shure which are different league price and quality wise.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work just fine. You can plug your laptop into one of the line level inputs. The preamps on the mic inputs are more than quiet enough, it provides switchable 48v phantom power if you're running cardoid mics, so the mic sound quality will depend entirely on the quality of your mics.

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 doubt it. It works between printers and other devices. Anyway, the Shure USB Mic should just connect into the USB plug on the laptop unless the laptop it too old to have a place to connect a USB.

Its highly possible since its a microphone, I bought this a long time ago for an ipod but I'm pretty sure it would work for a laptop.

I don't know--the quality wasn't very good so I returned it. I suppose I should have written a review. I had bought three different mikes, and the one we liked the best was the MXL AC404 USB Conference Microphone. It's not being used on a PC, though--it is plugging into a Cisco desk phone.

It will work sound wise but the mic wont unless your laptop has a jack for it

Yes, if your laptop has built-in bluetooth. If it does not, you will need to either use the audio cable that's included, or purchase a separate USB Bluetooth adapter.

It will work on laptop just your mic won't work. You can hear just not talk on it or use Bluetooth.

No, it won't. A USB mic is to plug into your PC. You will plug a mic with a balanced XLR connector into this, or really any mixer. The USB functionality of this is to interchange signals between the mixer and the PC, it doesn't actually have a USB input for a signal like a mic.

Absolutely. It uses the normal headphone and microphone ports. Works with any pc/mac that has those

If there is an external plug for a microphone then it'll work but this particular mic is a p.o.s. I returned mine.

Unfortunately no. The microphone takes a standard XLR cable to connect and you need a preamp and phantom power to get the microphone working. Your best bet would be to buy an audio interface.

No. While this is a 3.5mm jack, it will not work on a standard laptop mic input. The reason is in the rings. Smartphones, like the iPhone, use a TRRS jack instead of the more common TRS that most laptops and PCs use. The mic input is pushed to the extra ring, so plugging it into your laptop will yield no sound from the mic. That's why this is marketed specifically towards the iPhone.

I'm 99% sure it will. It's a simple mic. It worked with my iPad 3 with no setup required. Plus, I think I read some comments where kids were using it with their iPhones to record their professors in class. And I think some reporters said they used it for recording interviews on the go.

The microphone will plugin into most desk top/ laptop computers through usb. No additional programs are needed. Tablets and phones will likely need different hook up methods. Being a computer question there are if and buts.
