Digital camera reviews of Logitech USB Desktop Microphone (Black/Silver)
Digital camera Review: Does Not Work W/ Vista... Beware...Blue Screen of Death!
Summary: 1 Stars
We got a new Dell Desktop 6 days ago, after having it for only 6 days I got the blue screen of death, so because I was within my 14 days refund/exchange period w/ the store I was told by the Geek Squad to just bring it in for a refund or an exchange, so I took it in thinking I had a lemon PC, and I got a Gateway instead as I was worried about getting another Dell, well I got the Gateway home today 6/18/09, and set it up installed all my personal stuff then later in the day plugged this microphone in and guess what...the blue screen of death popped up again, then I realized it wasn't the PC at all it was this stupid microphone that was messing up my PC, So I didn't have a lemon w/ Dell. Oh well now I know and I will have to see if I have to restore this new Gateway to the factory settings if it did any damage. DO NOT GET THIS!!!!!Digital camera Review: Does the job and does it well.

This isn't a bad microphone for the price. It's USB, which makes installation a snap. You just plug it into an empty USB port. There is no software to install. Then you follow the instructions to test it out.
If you have any problems, make sure you go to:
Start>Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Audio and click the Audio tab. Once there, check under the "Sound Recording Tab" and make sure your new microphone is set as the Default sound recording device. (Should be the AK5370)
What I like with this Microphone is you don't have to put your lips next to it to get crisp sound. You can set it far back and record, just simply turn your volume up a little the farther you sit back from it.
Well, enjoy this eZ mic!
Digital camera Review: Does the job.

I picked this up for use with Skype (VoIP/Internet phone software), and it's been doing the job. I also tried using it with Garageband on a Mac, and it had a surprisingly good lo-fi sound. It's been worth the money so far.Digital camera Review: Doesn't work at all for gaming
Summary: 2 Stars
I wanted a microphone for use with gaming while using speakers instead of a headset/mic combo because I don't like the feel of headsets. I picked up two of these microphones due to favorable reviews but the mic just doesn't work very well for gaming. My voice doesn't get picked up unless I have the microphone practically in my mouth, and my voice comes out choppy (with a few seconds of silent time stutter) and it's overly loud with a large amount of air/puffiness noise. I've been adjusting and readjusting this mic (moving it away from speakers, trying it with earphones so no feedback, varying push to talk vs. manual on/off, etc) as well as adjusting my voice software for over a year now and just had to go back to headsets because this mic is so crappy and I can't speak for longer than 5 seconds at a time without transmit problems. A $25 Logitech headset that plugs directly into my soundcard worked fabulously.
No more USB mics for me
Digital camera Review: Doesn't work with Windows 7
Summary: 2 Stars
I was/am looking for a microphone for my laptop and this one received excellent reviews; however, I couldn't get it to work with my computer and I believe that it is because my laptop uses Windows 7 (not Vista or 2000, etc.). The paperwork with this microphone did not mention capatibility with Windows 7 and I wasn't able to get it to work; therefore, I assume that it won't work with Windows 7 operating systems.
