How is the microphone quality? Could I use this as a speaker phone for using Google Voice on my computer?

The microphone quality is great says the people I talk to. Yes you can use it with your computer. It has a cord to connect it to your headphone jack.

It's actually pretty good, I use my camera on a family room where the TV is 20 feet away and when I do Skype the other party has no trouble hearing me and also there's no feedback either, it seems to be a good quality microphone.

The sound quality seems to be great, but the Voice output quality seems to be less than impressive according to the other side of my conversations.

The quality isn't what I would call "Digital Reference". I've used it quite a bit for recording speech for video, and it's suited quite well for that. I haven't had the opportunity to determine it's low end response, so recording bass...thunder, waves crashing or live music might be asking more if this microphone than it was designed for...

It could be - I'm not sure about the sound quality in terms of what you may be looking for. It's not really meant to play as a "boom box" or similar. It's really just for voice note recording. I have it because decades ago, I had a few overseas penpals and we used to make voice tape letters for each other, and I wanted something inexpensive to play it. Then I used it to record some songs I was writing just to remember how the tunes went for later. It's a really basic device. So, it could work for your intentions, if you had the right jack, but I don't know how the sound quality will be. (:

I have only used the Mic with the Android APP (provided by Loftek too). It does not work very well, it's to sensitive to background noise and I have not been able to adjust it's sensibility. For IE and Google Chrome audio does not seem to work at all.

Yes the microphone is good. You can use it with Skype, Voxer, Robin, and many other apps that require a microphone. I see that someone talked about the battery life. Well, in my opinion it has a good battery life. I charge it at night, and I take to class. I look at my presentations, navigate on the web, play games, use facebook and twitter, and the battery lasts me the whole day. It lasts me around 7 hours using continuously (non-stop)

Sound quality is quiet good, especially for a headset. You can get stand alone microphones with better quality but for a headset the microphone is quiet good.I don't get any background noise, NO scratching or hum. I use it quiet often for gaming and Skype calls, works perfectly. The "G-Keys" allow you to assign a push to talk or any sort of macro keys.Let me know if you have any other questions. Please give me feedback, thanks!

It is a cheap microphone, and while it isn't ideal for anything to present, it picks up pronunciations fairly well. If this is all you'll need it for, it will be a good deal, but I'd get something more high-quality if I were to use it for other purposes.

I would think the built in mic on a computer would be good enough for that. Are you speaking of a singing channel? Because then this would be perfect for recording

I would say the quality is fair to good. The microphone is located on the right side as a part of the controls. The performance is alright for a short period but not off a lengthy conversation.

I use this headset primarily for webinars, once per month or so. The audio quality is great, in fact better than using my phone handset. It should work well for you.

Hi .. this mic is only a mic. In order for you to use it with a phone you need a mixer/pre-amp of some sort with a phone interface. You can use it with Skype on your computer if you use a Blue Microhones Icicle XLR to USB Mic Converter/Mic Preamp - about $40 on Amazon. Then you can use it to talk to your callers and listen to them through your computer speakers. If you have a conference phone with an XLR connector this might work but I'm guessing not. Hope this helps. There is also a package on Amazon with 8 of these mics and a pre-amp that could work with a speaker phone as it has outputs that might match your phone system. Then you put a mic in front of each participant. There are push switches to talk buttons so unused mics can be turned off to eliminate background sounds. Hope this helps a bit. It is a pretty decent mic for the price. Enjoy.

I did not test the microphone extensively, it was good for Skype and taking calls while driving, but it doesn't work for voice recognition on some software such add language learning

Boy, I don't know. I've only used it for voice over. I would say a capsule mic would probably suite you better, the GXL2200 picks up everything and with a drum mic you don't necessarily want that.

Absolutely. I use it with Skype, iChat, Messages, and FaceTime. I have no other microphones attached to my computer and the sound is clear and loud.
