Good for voice recorder, great for Skype (only don't put incoming sound through comp speakers), did I mention cheap. The only cons: just a tiny bit tinny sound and a little bckgr noise. All the rest are great qualities: sensitivity, omnidirectional (definitely more versatile than unidirectional), real 300-16000HZ spectrum, small, clip-on, cheap.
So I decided to buy them all these microphones as gifts and save them money on headphones. In addition, being on the monitor, there is less chance of being damaged. My family and friends keep changing headphones because their microphones keep breaking (the ear pieces are still functioning and they still can hear me but I can't hear them). I bought several of these as gifts. Also, you can't go wrong with the excellent price. I've put mine on the monitor and use regular headphones (no microphone) which gives me a lot of options. Although I didn't give out these gifts yet, I will rate them since I owned one for years. I don't have to get a headphone with built-in microphone that is bulkier and prone to damage.
It picks up audio very well. I also train reporters on the software that I use, and I give them one of these with their training. I did a side-by-side test with a $150 Sony mic, and this one was just as good. I am a court reporter and I use this microphone to record proceedings on my computer as I'm writing. I love this microphone.
We used it with a webcam to be able to talk and see our relatives in New England while living in Washington state. The microphone worked great.
It is not the best I ever used, but is a good cost-benefit purchase.
