Customer Review: Cheap and Awesome Microphone for Voice Actors/Singers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a part time voice actor and I have to say that this is one of the greatest and cheapest microphones ever. My voice is very clear. It is also easy to set up. You literally just plug it in. However, your computer needs to have a USB port (It has this pitchfork shaped icon that has a square on one prong, a triangle on another, and a circle on the third.) Just so you should know, I have a Compaq laptop and I read somewhere that most new computers have USB ports. A word of warning, however. I live in a dorm, and when I voice act and someone walks pass my room and speaks very loudly, I can faintly hear their voice. Other than that, this is a FANTASTIC buy and a must have for aspiring voice actors and singers.Customer Review: I Love Anything That Does What It Promises
Summary: 5 Stars
Not a lot to say because it just works perfectly. You plug it up, you may have to go into your Control Panel and make it the default microphone depending on your computer, but for most of us you plug it in and it works right off the bat no problems. I read a few reviews that are trying to compare it to a recording mic it would seem. This is a mic for voice and communication and it is fantastic at that, good volume, great range (means you don't have to talk directly into the mic) and normal conversations are reproduced perfectly. I use it mostly for gaming communication but it would work equally well at any other voice application, if you want to sing you gonna have to spend more than $20 folks :) EnjoyCustomer Review: Good mic, but Internet radio DJs be aware
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good quality mic for the price. I'm an Internet DJ, using Winamp and Shoutcast, and my listeners reported vast improvements in my voice quality when I switched to this mic vs. the cheap headset job I used to have. I've heard my own shows when they were replayed and the audio quality of my voice rivals that of fellow DJs who use studio-quality mics.
Be aware of one thing, though: USB mics don't allow you to do "voice-overs" where you're talking with music playing in the background. You're either talking or playing music. This means you have a less professional sound on the air. If your intended use is DJing you're better off getting a mic that plugs right into your sound card.
Customer Review: Well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market for a microphone that did not use the microphone jack on my Mac which is inconveniently located on the back of the machine (which I have stowed in an alcove.) With 2 USB ports on the front of the machine, this item fit the bill.
It was easy to setup right out of the package--for my OS, no driver/software needed to install to have it work with my system.
Additionally, the large, green power light on the base makes it easy to turn on/off and see if it is functioning. The base gives the microphone a good stability. As it sits on the desk, the microphone wand can be tilted forward for better pickup.
I'm thinking of a second one for my other machine.
Customer Review: Just plug it in, and this microphone works!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. Just plug this microphone into a USB port on Windows XP. It automatically installs itself in 10 seconds, and you are done. All your sound applications suddenly see the microphone, and there's nothing left to do. The drivers for it come with Windows XP already, so you don't need to install a drivers disk or anything. It doesn't even come with a CD-ROM, because it doesn't need one, and the "user manual" is about 1 page long, and I never even looked at it. The microphone works great, too, and it's very inexpensive.
I love products like this: Inexpensive, works great, no user manual needed, installs itself in seconds, no driver CD-ROM needed. It just works.
