How good is the noise cancelling mic on this? I'm stuck between buying this and the H360. I need this for work in a noisy home environment.

I've never been on the other end of this mic. I don't know if they would be very good in a noisy environment. I've been told that the sound quality coming through the mic is really clear though, no complaints from other people of it cutting in and out or static like other headsets I've had in the past. These are by far my favorite headset I've ever owned. Very comfortable!

It works pretty good.. I have used the H360 in the past but I like this one better because of better accuracy and much more comfortable to wear.

I personally can't tell you whether it's a noise cancelling mic but it appears to be from my use of it. I have found this to be the best headset out of the many I've tried. The price seems to fluctuate a LOT from time to time. I've seen this model for 29.95 but as much as over $100. Be careful.

Definitely not I use mine for Pro level gaming and it sits to the left of my monitors pointed toward me and when using it in directional mode it does a fantastic job of canceling out game noises allowing me to talk to my teammates without echo or any interference. That said I am a musician and this is also excellent for recording different instruments and mixing them in editing. one of the best mics I have used to date and I have spent everything from $60 to $500 on mics and to date none have been as good for mixed use scenarios, and still function far above the norm in each usage area.

Very good. Highly recommended. You will need to experiment with the level settings, it's not a "plug in and go" mic. But if you read the manual (maybe a google search too) and take your time you will be rewarded.

It's got to be the frequency range. It's a nice mike... good distance, good clarity. Only bad thing is that there is not enough mechanical isolation between the microphone body and the mic itself. It seems to pick up my wedding ring rather loudly.

My friends seem to have no problem with my mic. If you'd heard some of their headset mics you'd probably be quite satisfied with it too. For example, the Alienware headset doesn't have any noise cancellation and picks up a great amount of background noise, and the Razer Kraken Pro has great sound quality but a poor quality mic. Those 2 are the main ones everyone i've seen is buying, I have seen a great many other mics and this one so far beats them all.=)In my opinion, if you have the black shark's mic the correct distance away from your mouth, its sound quality is unbeatable next to a singing mic or something...

There is some slight wind noise through the mic but I installed the Vega speaker pads I found on Amazon from Orange Choppers in Florida and it helped tremendously. There is a noise cancellation setting in the Sena that you can also use and it helps.

Works very well. I couldn't believe it. But the software and dual mic microphone cancels out all background noise. Nothing else i tried could do this. (the software it comes with is the key) don't just buy the mic, but the USB interface with software as a kit with the mic.

Recording quality for me has been excellent. I use an external mic for voice work for audio-books. Haven't used the internal, built-in mics much, so I can't speak to their recording quality.

They're actually very accurate mics, in my opinion. In that low of a price range I think you'll find them to be better, however they are pretty susceptible to noise, whether it's from interference, wind (even just from moving them), or the rumbling of handling the unit while you're recording. If you use external mics you don't get the handling noise, but the wind can be protected against with a wind screen.Despite all that noise stuff, I'm very happy with the internal mics! You just have to be careful while handling the unit when it's recording with them.

I agree. I found the G4ME One to be uncomfortable and therefore returned them. I am using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's and find them to be extremely comfortable and superior sound quality. They are also open as that is what you really need for an expansive sound stage. I would try the HD 598 and see how they fit and perform. Other than the mic, looking for a quality headset is imperative, not only for gaming, but especially for music, movies, etc. Good Luck

Guys I just bought the zi6 and realized that the sound qualify wasn't very good so thinking about returning it and buying the zi8. What would you be the best microphone to buy if I'm doing some recordings for youtube and sound qualify is pretty important? Something that allows you to be 8 feet from the camera and still have good sound quality. Maybe a lapel mic?What do you recommend?

Actually, I'd say it doesn't do that great of a job blocking outside noise. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 4. Mostly it only lets louder noises in, but when nothing is going on ingame or if there is no music, you can hear others talking quite clearly. That being said, it runs pretty much silent when on someone's head. When my ears get a bit achy, I'll set them on the table next to me, and I can listen to whatever pretty easily. HOWEVER, as soon as it is on a person's head, nobody but the wearer (or people really really close, when at high volumes) can hear the content. Also, in case you wanted to know, the directional mic does a great job at reducing accidental noise traffic transmission. Hop this all helps.

It's decent. Superior to the Gh2 for sure, but I still use a Rode shotgun mic.

I use the soundblaster ZxR sound card and I use the noise cancellation feature that is built into the sound card. I run an extremely loud fan right next to my computer and I have been told that my mic sounds better than everybody else's. The mic is very good quality.

On the Noise Cancelling, not that I can see. I will say its very high quality. you will not be disappointed. This is a pro mic.

If someone could help with a solution, would be awesome.. when i plug the mic on my H4N using the XLR cable, it gives a lot of noise for me too, but when i use it with USB on my pc, it's perfect.
