It works [Posted on 2006-05-24]
I haven't used this mic to make phone calls yet, but it definitely works. My system picks up the audio very well, thank you, and plays it louder, the higher I amplify my sound. All I need now is a PC calling program, and I'll be phoning my friends over the internet. With the price of land lines and mobile phones, the sooner I figure this out, the better.
Bad quality pick-up [Posted on 2006-06-20]
I bought this mic for six dollars (excl shipping) and found it to be useless. There is too much interference and noise. It is not even fit for voice chat. May be I got a bad piece, but I will not bother to get it replaced.
Good quality for low price! [Posted on 2006-09-29]
I bought this Mic for around $6 including shipping... I have to say after reading other reviews I was kind of hesitant on the quality but the price was right. Testing it out I was PLEASANTLY surprised to hear a returned sound of relatively good quality with little/no background noise (and I have an A/C unit cranked up to high running) and good pickup of tone and quality of voice. Definately worth my time and money!
Microphones are serious business... [Posted on 2007-05-31]
It humors me to find how many people had problems with such a fine piece of equipment. PEOPLE! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS MIC! If the mic has "bad recording quality" or "doesn't work" blame yourself before you blame the mic, because 9 times out of 10 the user fails, not the equipment. I'm not calling anyone stupid, I just think that you should give it a chance before you incorrectly attemp to use something and in turn throw it away and call it trash. I actually planned on buying a Labtec 303 from Amazon.com with some new Panasonic RPHTX7 headphones that I purchased, however, while digging through some of my mom's old office computer stuff I came across the Labtec 504. I plugged it into my mic jack and set the base BEHIND my monitor, allowing the tip of the mic to sit just under the front logo of my LCD (it works from anywhere not just in front of you). There's probably 2.5 ft between me and the mic and I have had absolutely no problems with it, and it sounds even better than the mic on my HP headset! It picks up a little of my CPU Fans but is expected as I have them turned all the way up and they are also 2 ft from the mic on TOP of my desk. I would pay up to $15 for this mic, because the quality is great for the money, and that's really all that counts (this mic outperforms Ventrilo & Teamspeak, meaning the quality of the sound it picks up is reduced when used over the internet as with all PC microphones). I hope this helps and again I'm not attempting to make fun of anyone I just don't want such an inexpensive and useful product to be thrown away.
Great bargain for chat [Posted on 2007-09-02]
Inexpensive mike with decent pickup range. The lightweight base is actually quite stable, but I haven't used the sticky monitor mount.
I got tired of putting on a headset with a boom mike every time I wanted to chat on the pc. I tried a cheap mike I had lying around, but it had to be held 3-4" from my mouth to be of any use.
So I bought this one, which now sits out of the way to the left of my monitor; and my brother says it's a tremendous improvement. He can hear me very well when I'm 2-4' away from it, and says the volume only starts to drop when I get about 5-6 feet away. I do a lot of pc chatting and this mike fills the bill very well.
