You might think you're getting a great deal and can't go wrong because it's only $8. You'd be wrong. This mic is awful. You'll need to put the mic about a cm away from your mouth for anyone to hear you. Even if you add some boost from your computer it will be noisy and still too quiet. The cable is excessively long and too thin. It's very easy to break.

The $8 you spend on this mic is $8 more you could be spending on a higher quality and longer lasting mic. Buying this mic is not a frugal option.

You cannot beat this mic for the price. In fact, I bought two when it was on sale for $6ish.

Sound quality is amazing, huge improvement over my headset's build in mic. I was using this to stream and my followers immediately noticed the change. It does pick up a LOT though, so you'll want to make sure you're not using it in a noisy environment. Also, you need some distance on it. People could barely heat me when I clipped it just under but headset, but when I put it about a foot down the cord, or around where my chest meets my stomach, it was loud and crystal clear.

Extreme cord length. You could be sitting WAYYYY back and still have room to spare. This is a blessing and a curse, as I will describe further below.

The clip is NOT flexible, I found this out the hard way. My mic cord is braided AND sealed, so it's very thick, and while this flexed a little to compensate, the plastic failed after a few weeks. My solution followed in the following line, as it's my only other complaint.

When you run a USB headset, this becomes an extra cord running over your desk. Also, since the cord is extremely longer, there is A LOT of it. What I ended up doing, especially after the plastic clip portion broke, is taping the mic itself to my headset cord, and then using little pieces of scotch tape down the length of my headset cord to fasten the mic cord in place. This helped a ton with the slack, and also prevented the very thin and long cord from getting tangled with my other devices, as I found it did so easily.

You seriously cannot make any complaints with this mic. Insane audio quality, will pick up A LOT in your room, and under $10. I don't understand all of the negative reviews. I think some people expected a Blue Yeti for under <$10 o_O.

This microphone offers great directional audio while being very lightweight. I ended up connecting it to my Sony MDR-v6 studio headphones as a microphone to use for video games. I like my headphones so I didn't feel that I needed a full-on headset, and I'd only need the microphone for a few games.

The microphone itself has very high sound quality, but the direction it was pointing was very important. I ended up having to place it fairly high on my headphone cord to get it close enough to my mouth to capture good audio instead of the sound from my air conditioner, computer, or children down the hall.

Unfortunately, the flaw I found with this microphone is that the cable is WAY too thin and WAY too long. This had the advantage of placement where you wanted, but it was very easy to get wrapped up in the cable or, in my case I accidentally ran it over with my computer chair. once. and because the cable is thin, it severed the cable on the inside. I know that this technically qualifies as "abuse", but I would have hoped that it would hold up to a bit more than one wheel running it over. there were no external signs that the cable was bad, but when you plug it in, it doesn't give an audio signal.

Overall I ended up going with a mic boom stand, a vocal mic, and a mixing board (as I needed them for another project and found that they integrated well with my computer setup), but if I pick one of these up for more portable use with my laptop, I think i'll end up using the coiled headphone cable in attempt to protect the mic cable to try to avoid the pitfall of the thin cable.

Overall for the incredibly low price, this really isn't a bad mic. I might even end up buying another one to use as a makeshift lavaliere mic for mobile video production use. if i need one in the future.

I got this because reviews seemed fairly favorable and the price was very affordable, but unfortunately when I received it I was immediately dubious. The construction of the device actually seems counter intuitive to clipping the mic to a cable, be it the cable for my Sennheiser Momentuum headphones, or the cheaper, but with a thicker cord, Skullcandy Lowriders. I managed to get it attached to the in-line mic, which has a large housing, but problems persisted in that this 'high sensitivity' mic barely picked up anything six inches from my mouth. I managed to get it to work, but after less than 3 weeks of use I've found that it doesn't work. It picks up nothing now, people can't hear me and there appears to be no visual problems, cable looks fine, even opening the plastic housing to the mic shows there's no problem there, but it doesn't work. For less than 10 bucks it's hardly surprising, but considering the reviews this product has I hoped for more. I wouldn't recommend it.

I needed a better mic and headphone set up for my PS4 and PC because the Sony Gold headset I had been using would get uncomfortable after 45 minutes or so.

I already had a very nice set of Sony MDRV6 Studio headphones I used for music or even plugged directly into my controller for games where I wouldn't be using voice chat.

After doing a little research I decided to give this mic a try as it had good reviews and was incredibly cheap. I combined this mic and my headset using a Sennheiser PCV 05 audio adapter that I plug directly into the ps4 controller. I ran the mic plug through the headset coil and used velcro ties to tie the cables together.

In party chat, everything came through loud and clear. My only complaint is that the cord is way too long, but I suppose some people who run it directly to their desktop and happy with that.
