    My CHURCH (of all places) decided we needed a men's Bible Study via ZOOM. Unfortunately, my old computer lacks sufficient external mike "firepower." Once again BestBuy to the rescue! This inexpensive solution is perfect. Showed it to my wife and said: "remind you of the old War of the Worlds movie?"

    Good Skype & Cortana, but hum on Voice Recorder

    This Mike works great for Skype calls and for Cortana (Windows 10 voice recognition digital assistant), but when using Windows 10 Voice Recorder and playing back over a speaker system with a sub-woofer, a very disagreeable hum is heard. People I call with Skype do not hear a hum and can clearly hear me.

    I'm doing a bit of computer work from and was told needed a headset with a microphone. I bought one and it worked for all of about 2 days and I took it back. Since I already own some very good headphones, I figured I would try just a microphone. Best Buy didn't have any of the old school analog ones so I tired this USB mike for a low price. It works and the sound quality seems OK to the folks I work with but when I test it, it seems like I have to nearly swallow the microphone to get what I would think of as a normal recording level. Still, as long as they aren't complaining...

    Very adaptable in switching between multiple devices. Sound quality has been pleasantly consistent (compared to past microphones used).

    My computer has a broken MIcrophone and Bluetooth function so this came in handy! There's no way to accidentally turn it on because you can just take it out from the USB port

    I purchased the microphone after I installed windows 10 to use with Cortana. Windows installed the device with no issues. It did warn that the microphone might not be compatible with Cortana, but it works fine.

    This microphone is much better than the microphone that is located in the surface Pro. It allows me to use my dictation program Dragon NaturallySpeaking. With very seldom ever having a mistake to correct. It hooks into the USB port and the tablet recognized it immediately. It works very well.

    Gets the job done

    I purchased this microphone because, as a student that takes online courses, our teacher required that we record our assignments, but the microphone on my laptop was not working. A solution to the problem was to purchase a microphone to plug into my laptop and I wanted something quick and economical. This did the trick just fine. The sound quality isn't the finest so this isn't if you want super clear audio. But if you just want to record on a laptop this will work just fine. It is very easy to use and I am satisfied with this purchase overall. I only took off one star because of the sound quality.

    Bought this for my kid's google meet during this COVID-19 pandemic. The internal microphone on our computer wasn't working, and this did the job. Everything seems to be working just fine so far. Easy to use, just plugged it into the USB port on our Macbook Air and it was ready to go.

    We have appreciated this little microphone when Zooming with our kids over Christmas. It allows us to relax in an easy chair and still be heard by our family on the other end. I don't often want to sit right up next to our computer when using the video chat app.
