Is the mic in jack in working order? Is there any ambient noise/feedback caused by the adapter? Thank you

I have had mine for several months and I have experienced no problems yet! I tested it with some friends and we sang a song using a hand held mike and it worked great. I have also used it for Dragon Speaking and have had no problems. The only thing different from the jack on my computer is when I boot the computer it makes crackling sounds untill windows starts then it works just like it should. Hope this helps some.

Your microphone uses generic phantom power. Actually phantom voltage. The current draw of the mic is nearly zero and hence very low power. I use several different Audio Technical mics with phantom power and they work fine with this usb powered M-Audio adapter. It's a nice little unit that fits well in my laptop bag.

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

It's a standard 3.5mm stereo minijack, the mic end is separate. The plug has a notch that prevents the mic from swinging into your face (the minijack is round after all). Without that notch you might have the mic swinging around, but it should work just fine, as long as the plastic part doesn't get in the way, with its diameter of ~10mm.

I read that someone had that trouble. Search with this: "Samson GO MIC USB Condenser static or interference HELP!"

Mic? The actual headset? The plug they give you is quite universal so i assume it works

I use this set up on a daily basis with a "Zalman" mic. The set-up works great, my only gripe would be both cables are verrryy long so it can be an annoyance. I currently do not use a amp or dac but I heard from a close friend using this with a Astro Mix-amp works very well. If I had to do it again, I would go with a MOD MIC 4.0 instead of the Zalman for the fact that you can clip it on the ear cup and flip it up when your done. Hope this helps.

1. I haven't noticed any discomfort at all. In fact the earcups feel very comfortable and provide adequate acoustic isolation.2. No adapters at all (airline or 6.3mm). Just detachable cable, a clip to keep the mic well positioned and a fabric bag.

I don't use mine anymore due to the feedback created when I connected two microphones to it. I suggest ensuring you can return it if not satisfied.

I have not had any issues with my set. You should make sure you do not have another microphone hooked up to same system. That would cause feedback through headphone. if feedback is not the case I would return.

This is the XLR version (as Matthew pointed out, the USB version says it in the title). I haven't had any problems of hissing or background noise with this mic, the internal noise of the mic is actually superb. In Matthew's case, maybe it could be a defective mic (that should be exchanged under warranty), or a poor quality or damaged pre-amp, which is often the case.

Can't say, but the one I got was poor quality. It rattled out of the box. The microphone jack was banging around inside. I unscrewed it and it seemed that several of the screws were misaligned and set in some form of glue. This of course wouldn't seat them after finding the jack and reattaching it. It did work, pretty good for awhile, but noticed it was smoking when it was turned on, took apart couldn't find any heat distortions or discoloration. Maybe some of that glue. In any case don't trust it anymore.

XLR to microphone and USB into Mac. Mine worked a little better (less laggy) when I used the USB 2.0 jack. In hindsight, I would've bought XLR - 1/8 in mini plug and used the mic input and it might have worked better.

My mic works fine, so I assume it has something to do with the connection or what you are plugging it into, try it out on someone else's computer

I record using the mic jack using a stereo plug coming from a reel-to-reel tape deck. I get a usable file but I suspect my original recordings are monaural.

Assuming you are recording from the adapter, it sounds like the input to the audio programs you are using is not set to the USB audio source.

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).
