Great price to value ratio
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There many more expensive USB microphones you can buy, but for function and easy, you'll find it hard to beat the Insignia USB Microphone. My need was simple, I needed of a good quality microphone to dictate to my computer and give commands. It needed to sit on a flat surface with some adjustment features for position, at the same time it needed to be big enough that I wouldn't have to fumble with it being in the proper positioned, but not so big that I wouldn't have the space for it on my already crowded desktop. I didn't need it to be wireless, as I'm only going to be using it at my desk. The Insignia, USB Microphone fit the bill, it does everything I need to it do, without having to pay for bunch of additional features I don't need or will likely never use. I don't have dreams of being a podcaster, I just need functionality for what I'm doing. It's not bad looking either. ;) I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy it again.

Great microphone for recording videos and meetings
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really didn't want to spend $100+ dollars on a "brand name" microphone when I'm not recording songs or professional videos. This serves its purpose of being significantly better than the mic that comes with my laptop. Now if you have a PC with no mic, this one is a no brainer. Yes the $100 dollar ones will make you sound like a rock star :) but if that's not what you need this is perfect. Also, it is smaller than the more expensive ones, desk mount make it very convenient and it is threaded with a 1/4" hole like a tripod thread which greatly increases it functionality.

Great value USB Microphone!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been using my Insignia USB Microphone for around a week now and I must say I absolutely love it! After opening the package I was pleasantly surprised on the build quality and looks. The microphone is heavy and the stand does a great job supporting the Mic, and its fully adjustable. Plug and play and you're off and running. I would highly recommend this microphone to anyone starting off with blogging or recording YouTube video's- For under $50 this is a great value with very nice sound quality!

Great starter microphone, no immediate cons
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent microphone for high quality zoom meetings, or voice narration or recording. Installation and drivers all went very smoothly simple plug in with USB to micro USB on the back of the mic. Microphone range seems good, speaking within a foot or two comes across clearly; you do not need to be right against the mic to get a good recording. Minor detail, but the mounting screw at the base of the mic is somewhat shallow (only get one or two complete turns), but still mounts easily and securely to any camera mount, tripod, or clip-on quarter inch screw mount (standard mounting for any camera etc). I have very limited experience with microphones and recording, but this serves my needs for some voiceover work and meetings online.

A fantastic mic at a fair price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quite a fantastic mic for the money. I am in many large online meetings and found that my USB camera mic was not picking up my voice well enough for me to be heard over the other participants. I added this mic today and had several people call out that they could hear me clearly. I would highly recommend this mic.

Q: QuestionLooking for a voice to text microphone to plug into PC that will auto-type my voice into my MS Office Word 2016 documents. Will this work? Do I need any software?
Asked by Dictation.
- A:Answer The feature that your asking about is contained in MS Office Word 2016 and it's called Dictation, it's not something the Microphone does, but rather something your computer and it's softer can do for you. I Use my microphone to dictate to MS Word, as well as to insert spoken text into search engines and websites. The accuracy of the words being typed is dependent on the quality of the microphone. This Insignia USB Microphone is more than adequate for that task. If you find you need more accuracy, there is a feature within windows 10, speech learning, which you can enable so that the computer learners your speech pattern and improves as you correct it. Within Windows 10, goto "Settings" and "Easy of Access". On the left hand panel, scroll down to the "Interaction" section, and select "Speech" to setup the feature. Once you activate it you be able to turn the feature on and off, using the key combination by pressing "Microsoft Key" (the one with the windows symbol) and the Letter "H", a tap of the "H" is all that is needed. Once you've gotten that far, you can learn to use command like "Period", it makes a (.) or the command "Return", which produces a carriage return in your document. The Microsoft Site has many more helpful tips on the subject. Best Regards.

Q: QuestionI am a recording secretary, can I attach this mic to my laptop and record on windows 10, in a room that holds at least 50 people, How many feet can this mic record? I know I will have to review and correct spelling, but my hand get cramp up from writing.
Asked by Ann12.
- A:Answer Position yourself 1.5 ft. (0.46 m) in front of the microphone with the Insignia logo and mute button facing you. Your microphone’s cardioid recording pattern captures audio primarily from the front of the microphone. This is ideal for recording podcasts, livestreams, voiceovers, or a single instrument or voice.

Q: QuestionWill this mic work on a windows 10 computer?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes, it works on Windows 10 without any trouble. I love it. I had a cheaper mic before this one that was making static sounds so I bought this mic instead. It works flawlessly, picks up my voice extremely well, and is easy to operate. You won't regret it.

Q: QuestionI am assuming that the LED indicator light is an on/off (mute) button? The website doesn't say and most of the microphones I see on the site do not appear to have one.
Asked by HogCall.
- A:Answer Yes, the LED light on the mic is for the mute button. Blue when it's not muted, orange when it's muted.
