I bought one mic for my daughter and one for myself. She uses it on her laptop and I use it on my desktop. The quality of sound is so realistic that you think the other person is in the room next to you! There is virtually little to no backround noise; no hissing, crackling, nothing. People standing about 10 to 15 feet away have to shout to be heard in the mic. Best mic I have ever owned, and only $10.
