It not only has a really upbeat, very attractive design, but also captivates by a very good speech reproduction, even from a distance. We have made, among other things some experiments in which a sitting of us in front of the microphone and the other a little further away, behind the other, the voices (vocal registers alto / tenor / soprano) were always clear and easily recognizable in the recording over , The voice quality is even better if one is closer to the microphone, but here the short USB cable is uncomfortable to wear.
This is a point of very bother me, the cable is clearly too short a length of one meter in order to work properly so that on a desktop can. Otherwise you could micro (here it takes some practice, since it is directly takes in the hand) hold in your hand and so perfectly placed, but this would have to be much longer the USB cable. On a laptop, it should be okay, but you also because not really a lot of leeway.
The speech recognition software in my language is very good, as well as with Skype. Since the lack of compatibility with Skype was mentioned in a review as a shortcoming - we do with Skype on Win 7 and Win 8 no problems.
The microphone is placed on the magnetic holder, the connection keeps very well, so that the micro easily can move back and forth without having to worry that the beautiful and cuddly design becomes a problem, because a rolling good piece through the area ,
I highly recommend this microphone quite clear pros will probably look anyway in a different price range, but the way to have fun to skype, or the like, it is here the sound and the voice detection ago on the safe side.
