This worked so well that I made sure everyone in my family had the same one to ensure the quality of our calls.Digital camera Review: Excellent upgrade from previous Orbit
Summary: 5 Stars
This Logitech Orbit is a terrific upgrade to the previous Logitech Orbit. The improvement in picture quality is dramatic.Digital camera Review: Excellent.
Summary: 4 Stars
Great webcam. Records in HD. Face tracking and built in avatars are awesome. Two caveats, camera movement is not fluid (which is the software's problem, not the camera's), and the built-in mic sounds awful.Digital camera Review: Exceptionally poor audio quality
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the Logitec Orbit AF webcam. However, I DO NOT LIKE the audio quality. You need to set the mic setting to almost nothing and practically whisper to have the audio come out without a very bad scratch noise interfering with everything you say.
I am using mine with a laptop. I have positioned the cam everywhere to try to stop the distortion in the audio - without success.
I returned my first one thinking it was a bad unit. The replacement does the same thing.
I found to set the mic level to almost nothing and then talk softly to get most of the scratch noise eliminated - but not all.
I tested making videos by muting the webcam's mic and then using my computer's built-in mics with success - no noise.
I successfully tested making a video using a headset (phones and mic), that I often use for private Skype calls. The video's audio came out just fine.
I tested using a very cheap mic from WallyWorld. The video audio was fine.
SO, the problem seems clearly to be the mic built into the Logitech Orbit AF webcam.
