So, after reading mixed reviews about this Mic I decided to get it anyways. I mean 10 bucks, that's a steal right? Well, after finally hooking it up to my laptop (not USB btw, but the traditional green+pink setup) I decided to give it a shot. For the first three weeks I owned the headset, it worked great. Great sound through the headphones, and others I spoke with reported great microphone quality. But after 3 weeks, the people I would talk to reported funny sounds ranging from "sounds like you're in a barber shop" to "sounds like a bad DUB Step song." So yeah, it hurts their ears so much that I just stopped using it. This happened 3 weeks after purchasing it. Despite the fact the sound coming in through the headphones is great, the sound coming out through the microphone is not. Anyways, I would suggest paying some more cash and investing in something that will last you more than 3 weeks.
