How does the mic perform? Good enough for skype, google hangout, etc?

This particular pair does not have a mic. Instead, it has a volume control slider in the place where a mic would be. The ones that say "with mic" have one and I love the quality. I use it for phone conversations all the time and no one has ever had a hard time hearing me.

Yes, it will do just fine for Internet chat with Skype or other video chat software. It includes both a camera and a microphone so you will need no other equipment.

I don't know the quality of mic or webcam. The Start menu has a button for getting started on Skype.

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!

The built-in mike is fine for what it's designed for: Family get-togethers, reunions, your kid's sporting event, graduations, and the like. Loud, steady noise (like what you'd get at a concert) can get kind of mushy, and trying to shoot speaking people in a noisy environment is a dice throw. It does have a stereo mini-jack for using an external mike--and there are some pretty decent mini-jack mikes out there to choose from. To be fair, however, using such a device takes away from the portability and "run and gun" aspects of a camera such as this. I haven't used an M500, but from what I've read on them, I would be surprised if the microphone is set up any differently. I would imagine the experience would be the same.

Yes. Very much. and it is very comfortable using it. it's just sad that it does not have a microphone with it. then it would be perfect. but with this price, I cannot complain!!

We use the MXL AC404 for exactly this purpose, with about 30 people. The main factors to consider are the positioning and reverberation. This mic does an excellent job with either Skype, Hangouts, Flash Media Encoder, whatever.

Its not as good as a studio mic but magnitudes better than the phone mic. I would not trust it to get a live gig without input gain controls. Use good software to record with that has eq and gain controls. I use the paid version of Hi-Q MP3 rec for Android and its decent. Then run it through Audacity.

I have skype on mine, but you will need ear buds or something. The internal speakers are not strong

The mic is totally fine - no complaints there. I use Mumble/Vent regularly and my clanmates have had no complaints. I also don't have to use mic boost or anything like that.

I purchased it about a year and a half ago. I used it for a while and it was adequate however I primarily used it on Ventrilo and Teamspeak and my friends would complain about it not being loud enough. If I turned on mic boost the volume would be fine but then the mic would pick up a lot of background and white noise. I'm sure it can be tweaked and work with whatever program you are going to use it for but it just proved to be more hassle than it was worth. I replaced it with a different mic about three months ago.

No. Yes the mic is fine. I don't know but the quality is low, and this model is outdated. It should work with almost all computers.

It sounds pretty good. The mic input is only stereo though so if you are looking for 5.1 the built in mic is your only option.

Yes, it works. But I recommend you Hangout from Google is better than Skype.

The mic is fine. No one has ever complained about not being able to hear or understand me. My only issue was w the ear pieces and the volume automatically changing

The voice quality from the mic is good. Done a lot of skype calls with no complaints. I've only had it for about 6 months, so it's too soon to say on the durability. It still woks as good as new at this point.
