Strengths:

It just works. Plug it in, and it instantly works after loading built in drivers. Excellent sound quality, and a button to turn it on and off right on the base.

Weaknesses:

microphone only pivots back and forth, need to manually turn base side to side to rotate it.

Posted Dec 14, 2004 - This microphone is very highly recommended. All of my gripes are just small nitpicks, and do not detract at all from the greatness of this microphone. Even at 30 dollars (I paid 15AR), it's still a great deal, as there are no other good usb desktop microphones. Sound quality is incredible for a computer microphone, and nothing to tweak. Just plug it in, and it works beautifully.

Great mic, but needs to be set up!

Strengths:

Doesn't interface with sound card. Good price, good company, and the base is weighted. GREAT quality from even 6 feet away at a normal voice on a normal volume playback.*

Weaknesses:

Doesn't interface with sound card. The green LED color, but whatever. Need to configure sound levels.*

Posted Sep 27, 2007 - The dimensions are 3.5" x 3.5" x 9" ***To get the sending signal out of this thing, go to CONTROL PANEL, SOUNDS AND AUDIO DEVICES, AUDIO, SOUND RECORDING, VOLUME. It was set on !!!5%!!! volume when I plugged it in. I could only get a good sound from 6 inches away. Now I can talk comfortably from 6 feet away. Awesome!

amazing deal that i have found

Strengths:

every thing

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Jul 27, 2006 - Dear friends, in 11.95 dollar i found this amazing deal, which can haver good interface with macintosh g5 version, skype, and crystal quality sound. it looks smart and believe me this is the external mic for what i am looking for since many days, as macintosh system has sound interface with skype only, macintosh g5 had no interface for old microphones. this is the best and cheapest choice that any one should go for it. it has long wire and really good quality. no driver needed and alsojust switch on swithch off kind of functions.... friends, if you are still wondering for external microphone for macintosh g5 version, em not advertizing but putting my view frankly that the cheapest and best deal is this mic only. em enjoying with talking my family in asia from america, i wish you all can have that fun.

Great!

Strengths:

Clear sound, Solid construction, Plug N Play

Weaknesses:

power button a little weak

Posted Nov 30, 2006 - The microphone is one of the best out there, and its Plug N play capability means that I can take it anywhere I want and plug it in without any extra software to carry around. I have owned 4 microphones before this and all have either broken or have had poor audio quality. The base of the mic is very sturdy and heavy to keep it well planted to your desk. The build quality is top notch and better than any mic I have tried. The only thing that is not solid in construction about the mic is the power button, it seems a little flimsy but I can always tell when it is on because the button light up a cool green glow. All in all, this is the best microphone for the best price. you dont even need to use your sound card!

Strengths:

Perfect sound, Light weight, Price (15.00 this is a good buy)

Weaknesses:

Nothing so far, will edit if find something.

Posted Sep 1, 2004 - This was probably the best product that I have used in a long time. I have had it for 2 weeks and I have had no problems with it, it works very well and it's also easy to unplug because it's USB, it also contains voice off and is very clear. I had my other mic which lasted 3 and a half years and then it broke 3 weeks ago, I bought this and I am even happier with this mic that with the one that I have previously, never tried a mic from Logitech before but now that I know that this is the best I will continue buying from Logitech.

Strengths:

Crystal clear sound.

Weaknesses:

Little big in size but still ok.

Posted Nov 2, 2004 - I have bought several regular mikes which plugged into the soundcard and they all had mediocore sound quality. I'm in a lot of chat rooms and always got complaints. It seems that this Logitech Microphone is the only USB microphone out there. Thank goodness it's also great quality.

Strengths:

VERY WELL-DESIGNED SHAPE AND HANDY CONTROLLABLE PRODUCT

Weaknesses:

NONE AS I FOUND

Posted Oct 25, 2004 - first of all, i tried to find a cheap and worth of prolonged-used webcam microphone.... this the the one attracts me. Not only because of its decent price but also it has a very crucial function which is that it can detect my voice within 5 feet clearly. because this brand, Logitech, is well-known as decent-warranted company, i trust its popularity and design. thank you PriceGrabber.

Strengths:

Good sound...excellent range.

Weaknesses:

None.

Posted Feb 23, 2005 - First of all...the thing looks cool! Nice black/silver combination. The range of this microphone is excellent. I can have it sitting on my desk and be 10ft. away and it still captures my voice. Great for chatting online and having your hands free to do things. Much better than using a headphone. I would recommend this product to anyone searching for a microphone.

Strengths:

Easy set-up, sleek design, quality product, low price

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Feb 27, 2005 - This microphone works fantastically! I tested it out with SKYPE for my Macintosh G5 and I was heard "crystal clear" by some family members that are overseas. The product has a long cord (thanks!), just one button - on/off - on the base, and an adjustable angle wand. Easy USB plug-in. I have the Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard as well as the X-230 2.1 speaker system & have been very pleased with all of the products from Logitech and the prices are the best too! I paid about $19 for this unit.

Strengths:

price, availability, compatability, size

Weaknesses:

sound quality too unpredictable

Posted Jul 26, 2004 - No way near as good as the discontinued Telex M-560 USB Microphone which gives great voice quality no matter how far my mouth is from the microphone.

Excellent microphone for macs

Strengths:

Crystal sound quality, plug & play, bypasses the impedance on a MacBook's line-in port

Weaknesses:

Not as portable as a headset

Posted Dec 6, 2006 - I had used a headset microphone for the longest time on my PC before I got a MacBook Pro, and then realized it wouldn't work at all because the impedance of the line-in port on that notebook is too high for most minijack microphones. This mic solved that problem completely. It worked within five seconds of plugging it in, and sound quality is absolutely crystal clear over Skype. Only weakness is a little nitpicky one about portability versus a headset mic, but it in no way detracts from the perfection that is this microphone.Highly recommended.

Good Mic

Strengths:

Price and Quality

Weaknesses:

None

Posted Sep 19, 2005 - I bought this mic for my wife to use with IM, she loves it, she had a headset but did not like to wear it. The mic had a squeal but was just feedback,after adjusting the volume level it works fine. I have bought other Logitech products and have been happy with all of them. They make high quality products and a reasonable price.

Strengths:

Plug & Play; USB connection; Illuminated power/mute switch.

Weaknesses:

So far, I haven't noticed any weaknesses.

Posted Mar 4, 2005 - I'm really impressed! The ease of use of this microphone makes it outstanding. Simply plug it into a USB port and it's ready to use, and the handy power switch on the base lights up when it's turned on. If you like a quality microphone that is easy to use, then this is the one.
