I recently downloaded Skype and so needed a microphone so I could talk to people. I did not want to spend a lot of money and this one was only about £3 including postage from a seller on Amazon.

I thought that given the price, the voice quality would not be very good but I was wrong, the voice quality is excellent and it is very easy for other people to understand exactly what I am saying.

The microphone does feel cheap and plasticy but the angle of the microphone can be adjusted and it does not require charging or any batteries, it just runs off your computer. It has a 3.5mm connector so will fit all computers, laptops and most other devices which can use a microphone. The connector is on a 1.8m cable which is plenty big enough for you to place it where you want to.

An instruction manual is included which tells you how to set it up, but for a computer all you have to do is plug it in.

I suppose the only downside to it is the plasticy feel and the sense that if you applied a little force you could snap it.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cheap, good quality microphone for Skype or a similar voice chat program or for online gaming.

I have not seen them available in high street shops, so I suggest that you buy it off either Amazon or ebay.
