Customer Reviews

An inexpensive mic that gives you the basic function
This mic is easy to start with and it gives you the most basic function - voice input for your computer. Yet it does not, as it claims, "eliminate surrounding noice": I tested its performance and there is much "hoowwww" sound after each input is received! But if you want an inexpensive mic, it is a choice.

I had good results, at least
I guess I've been luckier than the other reviewers because I've had great luck with this microphone. I have it on my desk and I sit in my chair, sometimes reclining back, mouth a good 2 feet from the microphone. Using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 I get near-perfect accuracy with it - as good or better than any headset-mounted one I've ever used.

So I dunno folks. It's $10 and as low as $8 some places. It might be worth a shot if you're willing to exchange it for a better one if it doesn't work. It might work great and save you $20 over the $30 Logitech USB one that is supposed to be excellent. I'm glad I tried it, but cheap electronics do have a wider variance in quality than more expensive ones. I apparently got a great one, others got substandard ones.

Thin sounding cheapo, works fine.
I bought this mic for $9.95 at Office Depot here in Nashville. I'd initially went in looking for Logitech's USB mic but they didn't have it Since this was their only desktop mic I bought it. It works fine right out of the box. Good for dictation, but thin sounding for recording vocals, guitars, etc. The reason I give it high marks is because it is clean sounding for the price, but the sound is so thin that I'd either have to beef up the sound with EQ and/compressors and move on to a better sounding, more expensive, mic. I am confused, though, as to why Cyber Acoustics' package mentions DC power 1.5v to 10v. This mic is not battery operated, so is the mic emitting 1.5v to 10v of DC power, or is it somehow receiving DC voltage from the 1/8" jack itself. In either case, the mic will do...for now.
