Zalman ZM-MIC1 Microphone

Zalman ZM--MIC1 review

Strengths: Very cheap, Small, Long chord, Clips on easily to headphone chord, clear sound, good dynamic range especially for the price

Weakness: for price... none

I use the mic for skype mostly during fps gaming. Works very well! I use a pair of sannheiser 280 pro studio headphones with it. I was pleased that I was able to easily add a good mic to my existing headphones that works well and is cheap.

Good mic

Strengths: Small, Unobtrusive, good mic for the price!!

Weakness: Clip is useless if you're attaching to thin earbud/earphone cable

The Zalman ZM-MIC1 was nearly a perfect mic to pair with my preferred earphones. It clips on to your headset cable and is out of the way unlike a boom desk mic sticking in your face. And since you clip it near your mouth on your headset cable it won't pick up everything else...

I can not find a headset/microphone unit that I like, I prefer using my Shure E3c earphones for PC gaming/audio anyway. The Zalman ZM-MIC1 was nearly a perfect mic to pair with my preferred earphones. It clips on to your headset cable and is out of the way unlike a boom desk mic sticking in your face. And since you clip it near your mouth on your headset cable it won't pick up everything else making noise in the room like a monitor mounted omnidirectional mic will. The only negative I have with this item is that the clip is not adjustable for small cables such as ones found on earbuds. Despite that, it works just fine for my online gaming needs and have had no complaints from my guildies with clarity or noise. Certainly gets my reccomendation!

Zalman ZM-MIC1 High End Gaming Microphone

Strengths: Best clarity of any computer microphone I've ever seen. Great attachment design, inobtrusive, functional.

Weakness: Volume control and on/off switch might be nice, but not necessary.
