Reviews for Labtec LVA-7330 CLEARVOICE Microphone NCAT2 8 Shielded Cord 3.5mm Plug

A Total Steal!

Awsome. Great noise rejection for a non-throat microphone. Excellent clarity and frequency balance. Needs microphone boost in soundcard software, but so do all my mics. The preamp volume is then set to about 50%, much less than Firefox's throat mic or even the Griffen. Even fits over my headphones when I need. Cheap and zero shipping! Can't beat that.

Needs to be stretched a little, but using it over my headphone is doing the trick just fine. Very little pressure on my temples without a headphone under it, now. I use it at its least extended setting, and it seems a perfect fit. Should be fine for people with huge heads.

I just bought another 3 pair.

Good Microphone

Strengths: Lightweight, comfortable in either position, 8' cable. The quality is good and sturdy enough.

Weakness: The unadjustable part of the mic shaft could stand to be offset just a little more It's too close to face, but doesn't touch my cheek.

Voice is picked up easily, but not overly sensitive. Works very well in Teamspeak using Voice Activated chat. Voice is played back clearly and cleanly.
As mentioned in weakness above, the shaft is not ideal. When I need to move the mic away from my face, I have to be careful or it will rub my neck if moving it down. Moving it up to get it out of the way works well if not wearing a hat (like for the hatclip reflector for TrackIR). Moving the microphone up I either have to pull it out and around the hat bill, or carefully place it under it, if you can picture what I mean. Minor annoyance is all.
Wearing the mic over a hat is fine as well as wearing it with eyeglasses.
The adjustable part of the mic shaft is quite flexable giving ample positioning options. It is firm enough to retain your adjustments very well too.
The mic can rotate so you can use it on either the right or left side.
It's a simple, comfortable, robustly built yet lightweight, clean signal headset mic with a 8ft cable. Excellent buy, imo. I am very pleased with it.

Super Bargain and Quality

Strengths: Sound quality, Light weight and can be used over or behind head

Weakness: A bit small for my usual over head use but I quickly got used to the behind head fit.

This mic is great. I bought it to play online games, plain and simple. When I need a break from the office I can don these and my team can perfectly coordinate our battles online. I found the best pick-up was with the boom just touching my lower lip, similar to wearing an aviation headset.
