I bought this mic believing all the great stuff that was advertised on the page, and for way cheaper than I expected. I was very excited when I received it, but only expecting it to work so far as a $20 mic should, and it fell short - on its face. I plugged it into my stereo system and I let it run through it's little testing phase, but I always ended up with the screen telling me that there was an error. Assuming that the stereo system was at fault, because I desperately wanted to believe that my mic was not defective, I plugged it into every other possible place that a microphone is compatible with, and nada - almost. When I hooked it up to my TV's speakers, via various nerdy cord hook-ups, I did manage to get some sound through, but so little that even when I turned up the volume ALL THE WAY, I had to practically scream into the mic just to get a faint echo of my voice through the speakers. Okay, commence complete deflation of hope for this thing to work. Sayonara, dysfunctional-waste-of-money and thank you, Mr. UPS man, yes, I AM returning this. Sometimes cheap really IS just cheap. I would absolutely not recommend this whatsoever - chances are, you could find something that works 150% better for probably a few bucks more. Anything is worth more than this. The only thing that redeems it, is it's simplicity, and ability to imitate a working mic in appearance.Get more detail about
