How does the mic perform? Good enough for skype, google hangout, etc?

This particular pair does not have a mic. Instead, it has a volume control slider in the place where a mic would be. The ones that say "with mic" have one and I love the quality. I use it for phone conversations all the time and no one has ever had a hard time hearing me.

I've never used the mic for chat, but it's quality for audio recording suggests to me it would be fine...especially for the price. I've not used it in videos, but based on my use in audio, it should be fine. Sorry couldn't be more definitive. I'd probably try it for those applications. Hope that helps a little.

I use them primarily for drama presentations and testimonials. I rarely get feedback because each mic has its own frequency. It has been used a couple of times for singing and it was okay. However, I do experience channels going dead intermittently. I've sent back once and the overall response comment was operator error. I will be upgrading as soon as the budget allows.

Yes, my mother uses it for Skype and it works very well. I was suprised by the quality of audio, it was very good.

That's right. I use mine with Skype all the time. Much better than the laptop mic and speakers.

They work great on a variety of VOIP programs like Skype, Ventrillo, Teamspeak, Oovoo, etc. As long as there is enough bandwidth for the connection, this mic works great. I don't, however, think the headphones are comfortable for several back to back hours.

The voice quality from the mic is good. Done a lot of skype calls with no complaints. I've only had it for about 6 months, so it's too soon to say on the durability. It still woks as good as new at this point.

Yes. The mic is good. It does have a bit of a hollow sound to the other end. But it's not bad. The selling points that made my decision were 1. The distance of the connectivity. It's awesome. Easily 50-100 ft straight line. 2. The sound. Hooked to your iphone, iPad or computer. The sound is great. Much better than my friends LG version. Plus, 3. the Motorola Buds are less expensive. 4.Very easy to set up.

I found it doesn't have a lot of distortion. Is it pro-level? Not even close, but for a budget and for most people that might listen to recordings done with it, it will be fine. I've recorded performances with it, and as a shotgun mic, it filters out external noise nicely.

I can't speak to the Google Hangout connection but the mic placement should work. Mic inputs all feed one usb out.

Yes, it works. But I recommend you Hangout from Google is better than Skype.

I would say the Mic is average. Definitely could be better for the money but it gets the job done for phone calls. I have an android phone so the track controls don't work well. Overall its just ok. But sound is what really matters.

It does have a built in mic but it isnt the greatest, however I have only used it once. Functionable but better at receiving than talking.

The sound quality is good, but I use it more for conference calls in which I listen or webinars. I've heard issues with mic quality

It's actually pretty good, I use my camera on a family room where the TV is 20 feet away and when I do Skype the other party has no trouble hearing me and also there's no feedback either, it seems to be a good quality microphone.

The simple answer is yes. I have found, the mic only marginally useful as it picks up not only the wearers voice but also the the surrounding 'noise'. Only useful in a one to one situation.

I have used this with yahoo video and skype video, and it worked just fine. However, I've never used it on Google Hangout, so I couldn't tell you if it does. I would email microsoft tech support to find out for sure.
