Digital camera reviews of Logitech USB Desktop Microphone (Black/Silver)
Digital camera Review: Don't speak into the microphone
Summary: 4 Stars
To minimize pops during recording, speak with mouth a few inches from microphone at 90 degree angle (sideways). I purchased this to record announcements for a computer controlled message center on the Mac. Sound quality is adequate and Apple Speech Recognition commands are recognized. The USB device must be selected as the input device within the Sound preferences; while there, increase the input volume to about 75 percent. (If the mike is unplugged, it must me reselected in the preferences.) I use GarageBand to further increase volume and edit recordings. This may not be suitable for recording live songs but for general speech recognition from a cross-platform device, it's a great value and looks sleek and modern.
UPDATE : November 7, 2007 : Volume for all recordings was too low. It was necessary to increase recordings to maximum within GarageBand, export AIFF to iTunes, drag files back into GarageBand again and set maximum recordings before exporting again for the sound bytes to be heard on phone system.
Digital camera Review: Drivers missing
Summary: 1 Stars
Do not purchase this microphone unless you want a hassle installing it. As yet, I have not been able to get it to install with Windows XP including Service Pack II. I finally located the number of the microphone and see that installation problems date back a few years. A CD with the appropriate driver should come with this microphone. It did not. Look elsewhere.

Digital camera Review: Easily broken
Summary: 3 Stars
The microphone worked great and was easy to use. But then it broke, so i got another one. Then that one broke. I don't think that i'm going to get another one, and i recommend that you dont get one yourself.Digital camera Review: Easy to Use
Summary: 5 Stars
The USB Mic was delivered quickly, we had it up and running in a snap. Our friends say they can hear us fine and we don't have to shout to be heard. We are very happy with it, it meet and beat our expectations.Digital camera Review: Easy to set up and use
Summary: 4 Stars
Plug it in and it works! This has to be the easiest microphone to use I have ever seen. The lighted on - off switch is placed on the base and is easy to see and use. I prefer the voice activated settings instead of using a hot key or the switch on the microphone to talk. Because it sits on the desktop it can pickup vibrations from the equipment when its in the always on mode. I put a simple soft pad under it and the noise stopped. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a PC microphone.
