MXL AC-404 Black USB Connector USB-Powered Microphone

1. Sturdy construction, you can probably kill someone with it, if you hit them hard enough ; 2. Great sound ; 3. Automatically detected in Windows 7 ; 4. Long USB cord and foam bottom (stays put on the desk) ; 5. Headphone jack for real-time...

A little big, but not overly so

Amazing sensitivity. Even my whispers were audible. I am teacher and I use it to record podcasts. The logitec mic I had made me sound... well... recorded. The sound with this one is so natural. The recordings sound like my voice, with all of the...

Price. I got it when it was on sale, but if you are looking for something to record your voice, this is fabulous. It is worth paying full price. Don't know how it would sound with music or more complex sounds. Haven't tried

I contacted MXL before purchasing, someone emailed me back right away, so they seem to have good support.

Awesome clarity, picks up low voices, easy install with XP Pro - plug and play ; Bought to replace microphone on Logitech 9000 Pro video cam. Was using this to skype video conference. I was having troubles hearing people talk at times with the Logitech...

none except possibly how to install. Its small, about the size of your palm, and it is heavy for its size. I like that, because it feels solid. If you wanted to mount it somewhere it doesn't have provisions for that, its designed to sit on a flat...

It is worth the MSRP, glad I got it discounted. Do yourself a favor, get rid of your gaming headset with boom mic, and get this and a high quality headphone setup. Check out the manufacturer's website with the recording samples.

Heavy, with foam grip on the entire underside surface prevents it from sliding around ; Rugged construction with acoustically transparent steel mesh protecting all internal circuitry ; Audio jack next to USB to plug in headphones

None

All around a great purchase. I can't remember being so happy/satisfied with a purchase in a long time. Great value.

The sound is fantastic ; Feels solidly built ; Comes with a nice leather case to hold it, and a 6 foot REMOVABLE usb a to b cord. It should say that in the description, as I thought it was important ; It picks up voices very clearly, even from over 20...

Red led in the microphone glows whenever plugged in, although not necessarily while it is capturing sound in a program

While it's not as nice as a Lian-Li, it's definitely on the cheaper side of cases, though not junk like a lot of other cases in this price range.

It's perfectly clear, no feedback and it even picks up me whispering when I'm sitting 3ft away from it. I'd say that's a pretty good mic. I only use it for skype or recording videos, y'know amateur things but I have to say it's one of the best mics...

Make your life easy. Get this thing

This thing is great! I tried Dragon nine years ago and adjusted work. Now I'm using Dragon 11 and this excellent microphone. In fact I'm dictating this review. The problem with Dragon nine may have been an unsatisfactory microphone. So far this thing...

I don't know if this is a problem. There's a headphone jack on this microphone. If you want to listen to something (like a tutorial) you need Jack in. This makes a lot of sense though. I don't know how you would differentiate between a tutorial and...

Good microphone, easy to setup, voice clarity is good as well

When installing this microphone, Windows will think that it should be the default playback device as well as the recording device, even though it doesn't have the ability to playback audio. Its a simple fix, but it can be a little annoying at times

One thing that i missed in the features was that it has a headphone output. This output actually comes up in the Windows Playback Devices. If i could figure out a way to mix multiple USB mics, i'd buy a couple more.

Great PZM. I have a Radio Shack PZM that served me well for many years (it failed due to old age). This USB PZM is top notch. It picks everything up in the room very well. The person who said that it sometimes picks up too much, needs something other...

Comes with a case. Case is a generic faux-leather zipper bag and almost completely pointless.

Video/audio conferencing used to be a chore, either requiring a headset or suffering from poor audio fidelity using the cheap buildin microphone on my laptop. This sound quality of this MIC is far superior. It's heavy, sturdy, and generally well built

The USB cable that came with this was extremely cheap and the end connector was flaky at best. This manifest as bizarre driver errors. Fortunately I've got lots of these handy, and since swapping it out there have been no problems ; The only other real...
