Excellent USB Mic
This mic not only sounds great for the price but, the built in headphone jack that lets you monitor your voice works wonderfully. Im using it on Windows 10 without any issues. Also the install was plug and play. Surprisingly the Cakewalk Music Creator LE 5 software that came with it is actually useful, powerful and fun to use. I recorded my drumset for fun and was able to control reverb, compression, EQ and, because of the built in headphone jack I could easily monitor the recording without fumbling with any other connections or settings. Great purchase!

Small, sleek, versatile - perfect!
I love, love this mic because it is so small and versatile (can clip to your laptop or placed on table situated on its' own built-in stand). I use the free Audacity software and the mic works like a charm. It truly is plug and play - no need to download drivers. It picks up quite well, even if someone is standing 20-30 feet away. In Audacity, you are able to adjust the gain and actually hear what is being picked up on the mic by plugging headphones directly into the mic. I also like the fact that this mic has cardioid and omni-directional (360) patterns. I use it to record meetings, music events and lectures. Everyone always asks me where I got my mic and expressed how they wanted one too. Bottom line: it picks up sounds quite well, small, various recording patterns, it's plug and play and does it job well!

Great Entry-Level USB Mic
For my startup company, I have had to record some demo and promo videos. The standard mic that came with my PC was picking up way too much background noise and recorded voice with too much boom. After debating cheaper $20 mics at Best Buy, I decided to go mid-range and spring for the $50 Go Mic. After using it, I am happy I went with the Go Mic. It is easy to use since it's just USB plug-n-play. Voice audio recorded is nice and clear. My recordings would even have been better if I realized that there are 2 main settings on the mic. One setting just records from the front side of the mic. The other setting records from the front and the back of the mic. This setting seems to record too much background noise if you are trying to record voiceovers. Just make sure you pick the right setting and you should be quite happy with the recording quality of this mic.

Easy Mic to use
This mic suits my needs perfectly. I use it for making quick audio files for review and posting online. The pre-bundled software "Music Creator" seemed clunky to me and was only a trial, so I downloaded Audacity with the LAME converter for free. No problems. Hooks up easily to my Sony convertible laptop and works as advertised. Very sensitive so there's no need to shout.

Good for practice and hobby
it's small, easy to use, and comes with great software. while it's a condenser mic, I wouldn't recommend it for drums. I had to put the mic in a separate room for my drums not to be too loud, and that lowers the sound definition and quality. the other thing is, if you are not familiar with track/layer recording software, prepare to be lost. the program it comes with is very complex and is somewhat difficult to figure out how to use all of its hundreds of features. however, overall, the Go Mic has an outstanding price tag, records voice and other things like guitar excellently, and is just plain cool to have. if you write music, it's perfect for just practicing and playing around with and came in very handy for what I wanted to use it for, even though my drums were too loud for it.
