Zalman Zm-Mic1 with 3.5mm Gold Plated Splitter Cable

Purchased this microphone to replace a usb microphone that was too low for my teammates to hear me.A standard microphone allows you to plug into your sound card, and then adjust the microphone boost inside Windows (not available on usb microphones)Pros-very sensitive. I can clip this to my shirt at neck level and people can hear me fine-long cord, its about 6 feet long. I had no problem reaching the rear jacks of my computerCons-the clip isn't really a clip. Its supposed to slide onto a headphone cord. The clip was too small to attach to my headphone cord. (My headphone cord is similar to a usb cord in thickness) I also considered clipping it to my xbox controller cord, but again the cord was too thick for the clip. I ended up attaching a 3rd party alligator clip to the microphone cord, and I clip the microphone cord to my shirt collar.

This is a solid choice for a budget (it was $9 when I purchased it) microphone to add on to existing headphones. The sound quality isn't superb and requires some boosting to pick up properly, but it does the job. I did get quite a bit of background noise and feedback due to the nature of the microphone (it clips onto the headphone wire and so isn't very close to the mouth).It also had some weird interactions with one of my microphone jacks, but worked fine in another (another microphone had no problem with it though, so it's probably a really weird niche issue).For <$10, I was pleased with the product I received here. I think it's definitely worth upgrading to a nicer one if you're not strapped for cash, but this one is a clear win for the price.

I've been reading around on the internet after receiving this microphone and it seems to be a complete crapshoot on whether or not you will get one that will work perfectly or one that will be completely unusable unless directly in-front of your mouth.I seem to have been one of the unlucky bunch that has one that you have to directly in-front of your mouth about 3 inches away in order for it to even pick up your voice loud and clearly enough, otherwise you can barely hear anything due to the amount of white noise and background noise it will pick up. Even about 6 inches away, you will be extremely quite.Not worth it unless you're taking a gamble and hoping you get one that works perfectly fine, otherwise not really worth gambling a few dollars, unless you like having frustration per dollar.

Bought this to use for gaming with some Audio Technica M50's. Although the 3 mini clips are too small for the wire, the actual mic clips onto the wire nicely. I don't need the extra clips so that's not an issue for me. The voice quality is clear, much clearer than the mic on my friends $100 Razer headset and my old Turtle Beaches. Also, I usually game with a fan blowing on me the entire time. At first, the mic picked up the wind pretty considerably, but after a few level adjustments in the control panel the fan wasn't being picked up on the mic any longer and my voice cuts through at a nice volume. Overall, i'm satisfied.

The mic isnt loud at all, its not sensitive and i literally have to hold it next to my mouth pretty much a stupid inconvenience, but it is cheap so u get what u pay for, although i still believe if u can afford it, put ur money elsewhere to more quality.

Great microphone, but be ready to turn down the sensitivity in Windows settings just in case the people you're talking to complain about you being too loud. It's a REALLY sensitive mic, but the quality can't be beat, especially not at this price.P.S:Don't get the splitter, it won't allow for pairing a microphone and headset connection, as it only has the two bands on the driver tip (meaning audio-only input.output) instead of three (audio and microphone).

This is my first Amazon purchase and I'm pretty disappointed. While the mic is correct, the Y adapter that comes with it is not for the mic. It's only to split two pairs of headphones together.It would be nice to use this with my Sennheiser HD598's before the Destiny beta is over but unfortunately I'm now stuck with my crappy Astro A40's until I can get another adapter shipped.

Cheap and just what I needed. Used for PS4, but will warn to connect this mic and a pair of headphones to the control you need a splitter with 3 rings on the male side. The one that came with this only has 2 rings and does not work with the PS4.

You get what you pay for with this, $15 isn't a whole lot to spend on a mic. Audio isn't super clear, picks up a ton of background noise, and there's a lot of whining/hissing when you speak. It's also very quiet if you don't boost the mic, and it sounds like you're talking through a pillow.

Useless for me, don't work on my laptop. I don't know is product is useless or seller had send me crap !

Didn't work on my laptop with the supplied splitter cable. Couldn't talk on discord with a friend.
