i am more concerned with the mike than the headset. I am using for Rosetta stone and need to know pronunciation. Any word on how the microphone is?

Sometimes, while I'm talking to my friends, if they start talking while I'm speaking, I can hear my voice on their end. And honestly I sound amazingly clear. Like a-whole-nother person. Everyone can hear you clearly and I'm pretty sure it will work well with your Rosetta Stone. :)

Hello Mike, I do not like the microphone.. You can hear the people talking to you but the people on the other end cannot hear you like your mike is muted. If you unplug it from your computer for 15 seconds the mike will work for another couple of hours then unplug it again then will work again. I wish this was a different answer for you but its how it works for me.

I bought my headset more than three months ago and the microphone is fine. I am using mine with Voice Over IP on the computer and conduct approx. 5-7 conference calls a day using it with no complaints from those attending. It does allow you to control the volume or mute the headset which I love. Plus it doesn't pick up a lot of back ground noise.

Go for it. Set your software up to use the built in mike. Don't even bother plugging in the mike cable as it doesn't work and could confuse your computer and software. Amazing item for <$5

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D

btw after writing my last comment i went to www.macspeech.com and checked out their headsets and some of them look really good. pricey though i'd stick with the usb microphones and pic one from their page and go for it

The Mic. is receives audio with high quality sound. I would recommend turning down the volume on the mic when commentating for YouTube. It may be almost to good of quality for the sound. This headset also comes with an FX feature if you were interested in shaping your voice.

I think its comparable but to be honest its not a good mic. I think it's either refurbished or a cheap fake. People complained about squealing when set anywhere above 4--5 using it below those settings makes it a useless purchase. I'm shopping for a replacement.

The quality of the microphone is amazing so, as long as you are speaking reasonably clear. It should work perfectly!

I use my headset very often, for my voice clarity I talk directly to the microphone. I also asking the person with whom I am talking direct their voice to the phone microphone. The voice clarity more or less is OK in my unit.

I agree with Nero_DT, the quality of this headset is very low. I bought 3 of them and 2 had problem with mic after 2 months. Warranty exists, but you have to pay $20 to ship the products!

I use it with the dragon dictation program. I listen to an audio recording through the headset and speak simultaneously. I believe that is similar to what you do with Rosetta Stone.

I personally have not but the headset is super solid. I have not had any problems thus far. The audio quality is amazing but the microphone seems to be lacking a bit. (Mainly due to the nonflex mic) all in all a good headset, but I have moved on to some steelseries siberias and love them.

I use it for Dragon speaking. It has good quality sound. For gaming you might want a full headset for stereo sound though.

My friends say the mic is a bit muffled but clearly understandable. I use them on Skype and TS both.

I did have a bit of trouble with mine at first but after I went into sound settings in my OS and updated the settings for the headset to be default and so on and did a reboot, it worked perfect, just make sure you always keep it in the same USB port or you will have to go through it all over again. My sys OS Is Win 7 Pro. Hope this helps.

to the person that mentioned their sound card.... i don't know what kind of mac you have but i 've been having this problem with headsets and my g5 late 2005 for some reason macs don't always support the mic on pc compatible headsets etc so i was told by mac support to either buy an imic that would convert the mic and sound plugs into a usb headset or better yet to go to the website for mac dictate or the software that mac made previously to recognize voice and buy one of their certified mics at least then you know that it will work with other mac applications that really do need a sensitive mic. I hope it helped i just had the problem and am again trying to solve it now that i have rosetta. I tried the imic and it still didn't work but i could have bought a better headset to go with the imic and maybe that would have worked.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

I have no answer to your questions. I bought one for my grandson but all settings sound the same and he does not play with it. It just sounds like him speaking over a microphone.
