    If you need a no frills mic this one works well. It is a little bulky.

    Not good fidelity for this microphone. I returned it. Afterwards, I realized that I probably should have disabled the internal microphone in my laptop. Perhaps the microphone really is OK. Thank you. MP

    I bought this when the mandatory work from home began. It was the only one left in the store. During Skype meetings, others couldn't hear me very well. Returning it as soon as the stores reopen.

    This microphone does not have very good quality. My middle school band student must record his music for an assignment and the quality was so poor it affected his grade. Needless to say, he only used it once before replacing it with a better microphone.

      Hello! I apologize if the microphone that you purhcased was not 100% to your liking, but I'd like to mention that can definitely take advantage of Best buy's 15 day return/exchange policy to test out another unit in case it was just that one microphone! -Brian Insignia Support BBY-ExBrand_Insignia

    Based on recommendation from employee I purchased unit. It does not pickup sound unless I’m an inch away. According to MS mic setup it is installed and working correctly. It was dissapointing,I’ll have to find another mic to use

    It had a buzz on playback with Windows sound recorder, so I returned it. I was trying to record a musical instrument.

      Hello TomCatTX. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on Insignia™ - USB Microphone. I understand that you were experiencing issues on the unit. It is unfortunate that the unit was returned without us able to attempt to fix the issue.

    My son and I got on a whim for his online gaming. It gets the job done but is not shielded so gets interference. He has to have all the way over on one side so he does not get major feedback while playing online.
