Horrible with Windows 7
Date:October 17, 2012
Windows 7: 64bit
Windows wont' recognize this as anything but a generic microphone and is utilizing ZERO noise canceling. Not usable at all due to crazy background noise.

Solid Performer on Windows 7
Date:September 10, 2012
I don't understand why anyone would have problems in Windows 7. You do need to adjust your audio settings in Windows, as the default settings are very low, but you should be checking those anyway. This mike records crisp, clear tones. Don't put it too close, or you may peak it out, but set it back a little with the barrel pointing at your mouth. Great simple mike!

I Loved It!
Date:July 15, 2012
This microphone is by far the best I've ever had. It doesn't require any disc-based software, so you don't worry about losing the disc for re-installing in case of a crash, or something. The only downside is, that the default recording volume is 9, and the maximum recording volume is 100. So if you don't know how to turn up your volume you may think it is a bad product.
Here's how you turn up your recording volume:
Go to, control panel\sounds\recording\click on the icon that has the green checkmark\properties\under this window there should be a slider that adjusts the recording volume of the device. (by the way, I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit and it works just fine!)

FABULOUS Microphone (Windows 7 64 bit
Date:June 29, 2012
I"ve had several other microphones (all of them fall short in either the performance or ergonomics region) This mike is used from 2 to 10 foot areas (walking around the room) on Skype and can be heard without any loss of sound. Ergonomically I can swivel the base to any position and if I wish I can carry the mike anywhere I wish employing the LONG cord, as well as moving the boom either up or down to enable better reception. By this time I guess you know that I LOVE this Logitech product. I repeat, I'm using it without problem on a Windows 7 64 bit Lenovo Thinkpad laptop.

Doesn't Work on Windows 7
Date:April 9, 2012
I bought this for various voice applications on a couple of Windows 7 machines we have. This microphone doesn't work with this operating system. The recording volume is so low, that you have to yell or keep the microphone about 1 inch from your mouth.
Do not buy if you have Windows 7.

Excellent Microphone
Date:November 24, 2011
I have owned this microphone for the past 4 1/2 years and have never had any problem at all with it. It's a great reflection of "Logitech" quality. I definitely highly recommend it to others. (Chase)

Terrible volume on Windows 7 64b
Date:September 9, 2011
Although I have adjusted the volume all the way up (in the appropriate dialog box accessible from the control panel), every attempt that I make to record using this microphone requires me to speak unnaturally loud. I need to set the playback volume very loud in order to hear what I have recorded.
I have tried this on 2 different machines. I am a sophisticated user of computers and am confident that I have done everything correctly. I gather from the support forums that others have had similar experiences with the 64b versions of Windows.
Very disappointed. Do not buy.

Worked as expected, and then some.
Date:September 9, 2011
I got this very recently, and I'm extremely happy with it. Installation was as difficult as plugging in the USB, and I got it working immediately. The base keeps it steady, the lighted mute button has already proved useful, the sound quality is much better than my previous microphone's and the noise reduction is surprisingly good, even filtering out a TV in the next room. So far, it's definitely worth the money for me.

Best microphone I ever used with Dragon
Date:November 27, 2010
I am handicapped with multiple sclerosis and I thank God for Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition. I have to tell my fellow Dragon users that must use a desktop microphone you must give a try to Logitech's UBS Desktop Microphone. Logitech's UBS Desktop Microphone is absolutely the best microphone I have used with Dragon. I have tried them all and Logitech's UBS Desktop Microphone is a step above.

Low cost, high quality.
Date:November 20, 2010
I bought mine for just under $9.00 and although the price is low the quality is not cheap. The microphone works outstandingly well but certainly isn't comparable to the $60.00 headset I had to replace it with.
Needless to say I am happy with this product and would recommend it for possibly being the best buy for your dollar.

Another Good Logitech Item
Date:November 12, 2010
I have read all the previous reviews, both good and bad. My experience is simple. I bought it because is was USB and the brand. My computer has Win 7 and it took less than 5 seconds for the system to accept it. Although the package does not list Windows 7, and I was a little concerned, there were no problems. No other problems.

Opened the packeage, plugged right into the usb port, and was up in seconds. I connected to my ooVoo call immediately and had no problems. It took me longer to open the plastic packaging than it did to set up and test. Thank you Logitech!

A very nice desktop microphone!
Date:October 2, 2010
This is probably the best desktop microphone you can find. Voice chat is clear. What I like is the On/Off button and the pivoting weighted base. It is very easy to use and convient because this is plug-and-play which means you just plug the USB into your computer and it works right away, the drivers install by itself.
