I've heard the microphone for talking is less than satisfactory. Any comments?

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

I have personally had no complaints at all about the mic quality. Granted, I have not used too many mics in my day, but I can say for absolutely certain that its quality is better than both built-in mics on either of my laptops. None of my friends have ever complained about the quality of my voice while voice chatting during gaming. That said, it's not comparable to much more expensive mics, but I feel it does the basic job of a headset mic, such as for gaming, excellently.

Good luck with that, this mic quality is horrible. I've tried everything they suggested and still ended with the same result. Bad mic quality.

I am not impressed. I spoke into my iPad with and without the mic and heard no difference. Sorry.

It is fair like most laptops. If I wanted to listen to sometime special, I use my Microsoft LifeChat 3000 ear phones. I am hard of hearing so my opinion shouldn't count for much.

I use it for gaming and commentary and it's great if you are recording, or if you have other people making noises around you because it cancels it out and only records you however this mic is very low. That is a common complaint about it, no matter how many settings I try to adjust, there's no way to increase the volume any more. I have a hard time talking in game, and everyone says my mic is too low. I gave it to my boyfriend who now uses it to record his songs, and play acoustic guitar. For this purpose it works flawlessly with great sound. I recommend the Blue yeti for gaming and commentaries, my gamer friend swapped from the snowball to this, and I plan on doing so too.

The mic is integrated into one of the ear pads. It produces an inferior experience for my listeners and some unintelligible speech. It CAN be used for telephone conversations, but it's not the best choice.

Hi John,The microphone was very good. I liked these headphones except for the fact that the audio failed in one, than the other, earpiece.Regardstim

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

The mic will SURELY disappoint on this set. I have found the best microphone for the person on the other end was on the Sennheiser ie80i and on the Bowens & Wilkins C5. The PFE232 and the UE900 haven't given me a lot of complaints on the other end, but didn't fair QUITE as well as the first two (but I like their sound a little better-so they are the ones I ended up staying with). However, the ControlTalk was one that I got remarkable amounts of complaints about from other people.

Yes.. the mic is not great though.. people you are talking to will hear an echo..

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

I use my headset very often, for my voice clarity I talk directly to the microphone. I also asking the person with whom I am talking direct their voice to the phone microphone. The voice clarity more or less is OK in my unit.

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

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.
