a desktop mic stand was supplied wit this microphone that looks good but I use a floor standing boom microphone stand.

Ease of operation is the main calling card for this mic.

Looks good and professional like a far more expensive mic.

"Great mic for the price"

This is a great mic for the price. I gave the sound only 4 stars because it's not top quality sound, but it does sound good. it will pick up every sound. I have a ticking clock next to my computer and it picks it up LOL and you can't move your hand that is holding it because it will make alot of noise lol But overall it is a GREAT mic!!! The stand is kinna short, but the clip will fit any larger mic stand, so not a problem.

"Very good with voice recognition."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
No need to use any other mic.
Sound
I am using it for Dragon Voice dictation. It performs better than many over the head mics that I have used over the past few years. I dictate in between seeing patients and it is cumbersome to put on over the head mic each time I need to dictate. I am very satisfied with the recognition accuracy. A small inconvenience is that turning the mic on and off with the built in switch causes the voice dictation program to type one or two letters due to the sound produced by the on off switch.
The Wow Factor
Does not matter.

"Good Choice"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
It might be amazingly loud, but the sound is amazingly clear and that's what I needed.
Sound
The sound is very good, but I keep getting a lot of feedback. Also, it is very loud, so I have to have all of the volumes down.
Features
The desktop stand is very secure and the clip fits regular stands, so that was a $ save.
Ease of Use
Seriously, plug and play.Mac and Windows.
Quality
I just got it, but it doesn't seem like it will go fast.
Value
I'ts worth the price.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't called.
