Price is right
Good quality for the price, used for PC and Telephone with never a problem and very comfortable to wear.


Works great for gaming.
I bought these after my kids broke my other headset. I usually use the headset for work (transcription) and gaming. While these don't work for work, they are perfect for gaming, and for the price, you really can't beat it.


headphone's ok
this headphone was not what I expected which was a headphone with 2 ear pieces, but should have read the specs more closely. Because of this, it is a bit uncomfortable with one end pressing into your head and there is only one option to wear this. however, otherwise the sound is clear, the audio is clear and you can just connect it with ease.

Connectland CL-ME-606 Goose Neck Desktop Microphone


the goose neck works very well for me. i'm a gamer and use this for talking over ventrillo.

i've purchased 3 headsets(which hurt my big ears over time) and this is my 2nd mic. the first was a logitech which worked well initially. but later i had problems with people trying to hear me,even after i performed the mic test in windows. friends told me to try a mic that connect to computer via a dedicated line in jack instead of usb.

i haven't had a problem and have used this product since dec 2009

Is cheap, is useful
Good price and work very well. Is not necessary keep press the button while to talk, the button keep on until press again


Great Mike but.............
I just received this microphone and was impressed with the quality of the voice - However, I should have paid more attention to the reviewer who said that you have to hold the button to speak. It's true - This is a great inconvenience for me and that is why I have reduced the rating to a 3 - maybe I should have given it only 2 stars for this inconvenience but the overall quality is very good for a microphone.


TALK ON
GREAT LITTLE MIC THAT I PUT TO USE ON MY DESKTOP FOR MIXING SPECIAL AUDIO TRACKS , WORKS GREAT AND IT'S PRICED TO FIT ALL BUDGETS . AMAZON HAS GREAT PRICES ON MOST ITEMS THEY SELL BUT WHAT MAKES AMAZON A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP IS IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH AN ITEM THEY STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE SATISFIED OR THEY REFUND YOUR MONEY OR HAVE THEIR SELLERS REFUND OR REPLACE THE ITEM . I GIVE AMAZON 10 STARS...


Very functional at a small price.
For the price this microphone exceeded my expectations. I'm using it with a Spanish computer language program I have, and it's working perfectly.

MXL USB.006 Gold Diaphragm Capsule USB Condenser Microphone with Desktop Stand, USB Cable, and Carrying Case

Filed Under (MXL) by admin on 02-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , ,


I've been a home recordist for about 30 years. I've owned a variety of mics, from old Crown PZMs to higher-end Audio Technicas and a few exotic Germans. These days, I don't do as much recording as I did when I had dreams of becoming the next Nils Lofgren, but I occasionally like to doodle with music. These days, I'm a great believer in the ease and rock steady performance of Garageband on the Mac. I honestly much prefer working with it, rather than many "better" programs out there. It's just so solid on the mac. The reason for this long intro is just to introduce my approach to recording. I want stuff that works, and that works with little muss or fuss. When I sold of my last AT stereo mic and E-MU 4040 preamp, I thought I was done with wrestling with wires and recording. Well, I caught the bug again lately and felt guilty about ridding myself of all my equipment. But I wanted ease and convenience and I started researching the USB mics out there. I listened to about every sample available, and I was fairly sure the MXL mic were worth investigating further. They have a rich, full-bodied sound which I like. They also seemed to suffer less from ambient noise than the Snowball and Sansom mics. The MXL sounded a little darker, which some might think meant a bit deader, but I was sure that wouldn't be the case when it came down to recording. And I was right. First of all, the .006 works flawlessly. I plugged it it. My mac recognized it and I was up and rolling without latency. Occasionally you'll get hit with latency in Garageband -- but that usually just requires a restart. Then it's gone. The MXL was up and running in less than a minute. No problem getting enough power from my USB port, something I even had problems with with an old Belkin USB mic adapter. No, the MXL worked great. It's fairly well made, the only "suspect" component being the gain switch, which is pretty inexpensive and felt a little unsure. But it works fine, so I wasn't too worried about it. Plus, look at the price of this mic. The sound? Well, I would rate it an 8.75, which I think is quite flattering. I was able to mic myself singing with my guitar amp about 8 feet way and achieve a nice mix. And it recorded my 5-year old's faint, faint whisper (too shy to talk into the mic) perfectly. Stunningly, actually. So this mic is actually capable of great detail and sensitivity when your hitting it within its working range. Not dead sounding at all. I really like it's balance and design which make for quick and easily recordings without a whole lot of tweaking. As far as vocals, my teenage daughter voice sounded fantastic. Very nice with female vocals. I really like my "voiceover" sound with this mic. Rich and fully, but not over bloated. As far as my singing, it handles dynamics great and, as I said, it will handle a whisper to a shout without blinking. It's not a 100% 3-dimensional and rounded like a great Neuman Old Blues Eyes mic, but it's excellent for male vocals when doing home recording. I think I got my best take (of a male vocal) when I was cranking up my delivery a bit. A little R&B shouting, and it was as good as any mic I've played with for a long time. So consider that my take of it's vocal abilties for the male voice. It's less a Leonard Cohen mic and more of a John Lennon mic. And, as I said, I really think it shines with female vocals. I didn't hear the whine as described by the other reviewer. But my recording room wasn't dead silent and the noisest thing I heard was the fan from my mac. I think you're more likely to be bugged by uncontrolled sound in your environment than any noise inherent to the mic -- if there is any. I wrote MXL and they said poor power supplies and likely user error is probably behind the claimed noise. I just know, recording music, that you just aren't going the hear it in the mix even if it does exist. I did some dead silent voiceoever again tonight, and I still didn't hear a whine. So overall, I'm very happy to recommend this mic. Make sure you get a pop screen, it helped alot. I really, really like this mic for both its performance and especially its fantastic convenience. If you don't feel like dealing with the time (and expense) of rigging up a mic and preamp and just want to "plug and play", well, I don't think you can make a better choice than his MXL .006 mic or one in its USB line. And I look forward to hearing more of the mics in their USB line.

MXL USB.006 Gold Diaphragm Capsule USB Condenser Microphone with Desktop Stand, USB Cable, and Carrying Case

Product Description:
Designed with ease-of-use in mind, the new MXL.006 features a large gold diaphragm that delivers a big, rich sound characteristic of studio and broadcast microphones. Unlike most studio condenser microphones, however, the MXL.006 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) instrument that connects directly to a computer without the need for external mic preamps. Now, anyone requiring high quality, professional sound on their computer can record music or dialog by simply connecting to a standard USB port. Featuring support for USB 1.1 and 2.0, this exceptionally easy-to-use microphone even includes gain adjustment settings via the built-in three position attenuation switch.

Working with the new MXL.006 is a pleasure. As a plug and play device for both Windows and Macintosh, it requires no special drivers whatsoever. Simply connect the microphone’s USB cable to a computer’s USB port, and installation is quick and effortless. In addition to recording instruments or voice for home recording applications, the new MXL.006 is the perfect microphone for podcasting or adding dialog to presentations and other multimedia projects. It is also the perfect solution capable of opening new possibilities for radio and news broadcasters and for location recording.

Unlike electrets or dynamic microphones typically used for computer work, the MXL.006 has an extremely smooth, natural sound typical of what one would hear on a professionally produced CD or radio show. The analog section of the new MXL.006 microphone features a 20 Hz-20 kHz frequency response, a large gold diaphragm, pressure-gradient condenser capsule, and a 3-position, switchable attenuation pad with settings for Hi (0 dB), Medium (-5 dB), and Lo (-10 dB), making it easy to configure the microphone to virtually any sound source. The digital section features a 16-bit Delta Sigma A/D converter with a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. Protecting the instrument’s capsule is a heavy-duty wire mesh grill with an integrated pop filter.

To make recording a trouble-free process, the new MXL.006 features a red LED behind the protective grill. This LED informs the user that the microphone is active and correctly oriented toward the user. To complete this terrific package, the new MXL.006 ships with a travel case, a desktop microphone stand, a 10-foot USB cable, windscreen, an owner’s manual, and an applications guide.

Zalman Microphone Zm-Mic1 High Sensitivity Headphone Microphone Retail

Filed Under (Zalman) by admin on 28-02-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , ,


Zalman mic + decent headphones = better overall experience/quality than most gaming headsets.

My purpose for this microphone is fps gaming, specifically bf2. I've had numerous gaming headsets with mics that fail due to one of the audio channels dropping out or the mic being intermittent or both. They tend to be low audio quality with poor fit unless you spend a lot of money.

This mic allows me to use headphones that are far superior for audio and comfort. It's designed to piggyback parallel to your headphone cable. A little unsure as to where to put the mic if I use my speakers. I've tried resting it on the desk between the keyboard and monitor, even draped over the monitor on top (not covering any screen output) and it worked fine. Doesn't seem to matter what direction the mic is pointing. I just wish it had a clip to grip your shirt.

Audio is great for this purpose. No issues with anyone understanding me or not hearing. A note to any audio quality detractors; you don't spend this little on a mic (or buy a mic with an 1/8" jack) if you are anal-retentive about audio quality. This does what it claims to do.

Great microphone
This microphone is great for turning a headphone into a headset. I put these on my Sennheiser HD555's and it works great. The only downside is that the clips don't always stay on, but that's not much of a problem as you can just wrap electrical tape around several points of the two wires.


Great replacement mic
I had a nice sennheiser headset but the mic died one day - I didn't want to buy another expensive headset, so I grabbed this mic on the advice of some other gamers, and clipped it onto my existing headset.

The mic picks up voice very clearly and is better than any headset mic that I've owned. The price is excellent, too. No issues.


Not as good as I would hope
I purchased this mic expecting amazing performance but was let down when all my friends said I sounded garbled. After some fiddling around I found they understood me better when I actually flipped the mic in the opposite direction of my mouth. They come with clips running all the length of the mic's cable but where WAY too small to fit my headphones cable proving pointless and a nuisance when I used a sleeve to bind my cables together because they do not detach and create a unnecessary bulge.

Give me a boom mic over zalman's any day of the week.

USB Webcam
I bought this web cam for chat. It's average web cam and worth for money. Picture quality is nice, sometimes, it may give you white effect on video, but over all works fine. no problem yet. easy to use, plug n play.


For the price its a fair deal
But the cam itself isn't the best. The lights tend to dim a lot for some reason, it doesn't seem to have enough power to last very long, specially with the lights. It works, it does work... just not for very long.
