Customer Review: The wrong microphone was sent
I ordered two of the C03UCW microphones and I was sent two of the C01U's - it is a different microphone. I wanted the one shown here. The vendor offered to refund my money and said that it was a mistake made by Amazon. I needed the microphones for a project and did not have time to return them. They worked fine - but they were not the ones I ordered. I still want the other microphones. Amazon - how can you make this one right?
Customer Review: Looks, sounds, feels good!
I don't have too much experience on this type of microphone to make extensive/professional review. I just started playing with Garageband/pod cast and use Skype and wanted to improve the sound input. Compare to the other mini microphones I've used, this is HUGE and heavy, solidly built. Connection is easy, just plug in the USB and the Mac recognizes it. To my not so experienced ears, it sounds better than iSight, built-in mics, and the Sony mic that requires an AA battery and a pre-amp. Well-made, good sound, easy to use. 5-star for the prize/package/performance.
