Noise suppression? For those in higher noise environments, does the mic seem to pick up a lot of background noise?

Unidirectional microphone. Catches almost the only voice. But there is no noise reduction. Everything will depend only on your sound card.

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).

I haven't used this in noisy environments like offices etc. But according to my gaming buddies, this microphone does not pick up noise from my keyboard as opposed to the table microphone i used earlier.

on a scale of 1-10, 10 being you can hear a pin drop from across the room. i'd say these are about 3/10. it suppresses quite well.

I use the soundblaster ZxR sound card and I use the noise cancellation feature that is built into the sound card. I run an extremely loud fan right next to my computer and I have been told that my mic sounds better than everybody else's. The mic is very good quality.

If you've got your sound settings adjusted correctly then you shouldn't have to worry about too much background noise. I never had any issues with background noise while using this mic.

The keyboard I'm using has Cherry MX Blue keyswitches which are NOISY. The mic still picks up, but it's never a problem according to the peeps I'm gaming with ;)

when the mic worked for me it didn't but you are better off getting a modmic (http://www.modmic.com/) because it will definitely last longer than this

If you attach a 2nd mic to filter background noise you will get excellent quality sound. By itself it's pretty good but, it will pick up any background noise so just don't podcast where there is a lot of that.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.

The sound quality is pretty decent for a headset mic and is better than most mics people use online. It does not have built in noise cancellation as far as I know, but most apps and games you would use it with have some form of noisegate to account for it. It is a dynamic microphone, so it doesn't pick up a crazy amount of noise by default.

Yes the shielding on it sucks I don't use the mic any more. You can try and use a better XLR for it it helps a little

the only slight concern would be that the microphone is a condenser microphone and therefore is slightly more sensitive and may pick up some background noise.

Not familiar with Sennheiser lab mic, but if there is a gain adjustment on it, try reducing the gain.

Depends on the source of the noise. I can only say that my rig has no apparent noise caused by the mixer itself. I use Senheiser mics, guitars straight in, drum machines and synths.

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.

This microphone should be fixed on a special tripod or mic stand to avoid noises. Even you need a special mic holder "spider" to avoid noises. Though this microphone is dynamic and less sensitive than condenser microphones, it will still pick up lots of noises if you hold it in hand. (And, as we already said, it is quite heavy)

Depends how loud you are talking about, this type of mic has narrow pick up pattern, but if put it too close to the source of noise, it probably will have some minimal effect on it.

THe background noise is muffled but not completely drowned out. Hope this helps you :)

I actually have not noticed a "lag" when using the mic as a listening device. One reason may be that I am using the headphone line-in on the mic and do not hear except through them. This is the only way to get a "clean" recording. Otherwise, the mic will pick up the ambient sound from your external speakers. However, there doesn't seem to be anything noticeable in the recordings.

Just to cover the bases, You have the mic volume on the back turned up, right???

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.

It is noise cancelling, to a degree, I can still hear some noise, albeit muffled. To be fair, please know that I am really sensitive to noise, I hear sounds others do not - people are sometimes amazed at what I able to hear. I would test them out as I think it varies by individual.

The microphone does pick up very well and has a nice noise cancelling option for background noise. I use it in a cube farm with other people talking around me and it works great!
