Zalman Zm-Mic1 High Sensitivity Headphone Microphone

Great mic. Quality + value is definitely worth it.

This Mic is primarily used with Teamspeak and i just put my headphones on and forget about it (once voice activation was set.)

Others have commented my voice is clearer with this Mic.

An easy product to recommend.

Picked it up from NCIX for $11CAD, was very impressed by how well it works for the price.

It's quite durable (it's gotten snagged on something and been pulled from my headphone cable to the floor many times, still works great).

My only issue with this mic is that it picks up EVERYTHING. Conversations/TV from another room, your cat snoring on your bed, everything. I solved this by duct-taping a folded piece of cloth over the mic (trying to simulate the fuzzy stuff that goes around most microphones to keep P's and S's from being annoyingly crisp) and I've had no complaints since.

A+ would recommend.

Picked this up from Amazon while looking for a cheap mic as it had been recommended to me through many other friends, and what can I say? It works like a charm, clips on and that is that, you may consider using sleeving to keep the wire next to your headphone cable but that is up to you.

I'm running it at 100+ and 30Db boost in options atm and still sounds clear, everyone I talk to using this says it sounds good.

Thats about it.

I use this along with a pair of Audio Technica AD700's and a Xonar DX soundcard. If you set up the mic correctly, then it gives you pretty good quality, but there is a fair bit of background noise so a background filtering feature will help a bit in any programs you use it with (most voip services have an option, I believe). I've tested it with Mumble, Skype, and Steam's voip, and in all cases my friends said it sounded great. The microphone is indeed high sensitivity, so you need to make the volume rather low unless you want even your roommate eating to pick up on it; my settings are microphone boost on, and volume level on 10 (out of 100).

So, here I was, converting to a true PC gamer. Time to get a real mic.
I was recommended the Zalman ZM-MIC1.
It clipped on to my AD700's cable nicely, the Zalman however has a very long and thin cable, keep this in mind. Some cable ties should take care of it though.
There isn't much to go over here, but the three things I will cover are - functionality, recording quality, and value.
Functionality
Okay. Save the very long and thin cable, this is relatively functional. Clips on to your headphones, standard mic plug, and just works.
Recording quality
It's fine. It records on the quiet side, so keep it as close to your mouth (or whatever you're recording) as possible. Quality is above average; overall it does it's job.
Value
This is where the mic shines. It can be had for $9 online and for that price it can not be beat.

Therefore this product merits a 4 star rating.
