Gigaware Clip-On Microphone

This thing just works for the price. I had one for 10 years before it stopped working. So I decided to replace it with the same thing. The sound is fairly good and my only complaint is that it picks up sounds from fans pretty aggressively, but I'm not going to dock any stars because it was $11.

Didn't work for me. Connected it in to the back of my computer (Mic in port) and tried to use it. No one could hear me, made sure it was selected in the Sound Control Panel still no luck. Tried it with Skype and struck out. If I still had the packaging I would return it. I bought a cheaper microphone and it seems to do the trick so I will stick with that.

The microphone was fine while it lasted, but it is not very rugged and broke after about a year of very light usage. The wire is very thin, so I suspect that had something to do with it. The wire is also incredibly long. I wouldn't buy another one of these.

its ok i guess but the sound it records is really quiet. you need to be very close to it to pick you up. i have the mic volume on my PC turned up all the way and i found a mic boost setting and ya still have to be like two feet from it to use it. For the price you pay its a good fit, i mean you get what you pay for. It does work great at close range but produces a constant but quiet background hiss.

The sound quality on this is very good sitting on my desk at work. The only issue is that it doesn't stay in the holder, but other than that it works well.

Purchased for use with Windows 10 voice control and it works great. I have it mounted on the bottom of my main monitor and it works perfectly even from a pretty decent distance. Works even better clipped to my shirt but I tend to leave it mounted so I don't end up walking off with it attached like I'm sure I would do because I'm a klutz! :)

I have yet to find a small compact omni-directional mic as sensitive as this one for the money. It doesn't look like much but when attached to a good sound recorder such as a Zoom 4HN Pro it sounds really good. As far as the complaints brought up by other users, the issues may be a result of the sound hardware found in their computers, this mic requires plugin power and without sufficient gain it will not work properly, which could be considered a con and is something to keep in mind when purchasing. I was so happy with my purchase, I got two!

I'd rather put zero stars. The microphone did not work. I had to hold it directly in front of my mouth for the computer to pick up even the slightest sound, and it would never pass the microphone check on Windows 10 (where you say the sentence out loud). Waste of my time and money.
