Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Mini 3.5mm Flexible Microphone for PC/Laptop/Skype
Customer Review: Absolute Trash (or maybe not)
Summary: 1 Stars
The first mic they sent looked just like the photo except it had a silver stem. That's the mic I originally wrote this review for.
The mic doesn't plug firmly enough into the microphone jack to prevent it from falling over, and it doesn't pick up sound well enough to be so far from the user's mouth. The sound is too faint to be of any use, even with microphone input set to maximum. My clip-on mic picks up sound better laying on my keyboard. In order for this mic to work, I have to lean over with my mouth just a few inches away from it. There's no way it would work for Skype. It would cost more to send it back than what I paid for the mic, so it makes no sense to return it for a refund, but it isn't worth the little money I paid for it either.
Since I wrote the review above, I ordered another of the same mic from a different seller (see comments below). The second mic has the black stem, and guess what ... it works GREAT. It works as well or better than my clip-on mics. It also fits firmly into the mic plug so it doesn't fall over like the first mic did. Clearly, either two different mics are being sold as the same one (one silver, one black) or there are two different colors of the same mic made my a company with absolutely horrible quality control. Both mics were purchased as the same mic (from this same page), so it's anyone's guess which one they'll get. I could average my one star and 5 star ratings and give this this product three stars, but which mic you get is a total gamble, and for that alone, it still deserves just one star.
Description of Mini 3.5mm Flexible Microphone for PC/Laptop/Skype
You can take it with you! This slim 6.7 inch mic will slip easily into a laptop case (unless it's a form-fitter!), and features a flexible cable for easy positioning. Installation is as simple as Plug & Play - no drivers or software are necessary. Use it with Skype, for VOIP applications, or chat programs. Adjust the microphone's settings from your PC's audio control panel. Does not require an external power supply. (Note for Mac users: Apple Mac computer hardware requires a mic with its own power supply. This mic may not be suitable for use with Apple/Mac computers. Check with Apple for your particular model if you are unsure.)Sensitivity: -54±3dB Frequency Range: 100-5KHz Jack: 3.5mm Length: 17cm (slightly over 6.5 inches)Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
