VIAS Desktop / Lavalier USB microphone with tie-clip, base, windscreen and carrying pouch.Compatible with Windows, MAC, Linux. Skype, MSN, videoconferencing, gaming, dictation, vocal recording.

The microphone is much smaller than I expected, and when plugged in, I was able to adjust the volume in the computer settings. But no matter what I tried, the sound of my voice was always "canned" and "far away" sounding. It came with a stand so I thought that you could just let it sit in the stand, but there's no way your voice would be picked up by it if it's on the stand on the a desk. So I tried to use the clip to get right by my mouth and it still was impossible to get any sound that was decent. I usually don't bother returning things if I can get them to work ok, but no matter what I did, this was just not going to work at all. It wasn't worth buying. The quality seemed like something you would find in a store for $5. It certainly wasn't worth even that because it didn't work.

stopped working after a week of use my 6 year old mic works better
