Basically works. line noise. The driver is not good. The software will not work.

Good: Works on all operating systems I've tried. Bad: - I needed an external USB isolator to reduce static noise. - Both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Pro did not install Andrea drivers. - In connection with the above, Andrea's AudioCommander software was not working because it did not recognize the device as belonging to Andreas. So either it's not that good overall, I got a bad one, or the seller doesn't actually ship Andrea. Mechanism. I can't say which. Andrea's support was useless. They…

Hardware quality has gone down as others have said.

after about 10 uses, which can only mean inferior components in this area. Unfortunately, very few USB audio devices support the stereo mic inputs I need, so there aren't many options. To avoid this problem, just expect the connectors to die, so don't repeatedly plug or unplug anything, leave the cables plugged in and instead unplug the other end if you can.

Pros
  • Small form factor, about the size of a flash drive, easy to carry with audio peripherals. The USB adapter allows you to use an audio device driver platform that supports Andrea PureAudio noise reduction technology and Andrea hardware peripherals.

Best of several brands tested

Record instructional videos on your laptop for work. I've tried similar devices including those from Sabrent (the loudest and doesn't work at all on some laptops), Turtle Beach (worked on my old laptops, useless on new ones), Audio-Technica (an improvement but still noisy), and Plantronics (OK). This is best for noise reduction when recording - the noise is still there, but so little that it can be easily removed in Audacity or just ignored. My son also has one that he uses as a headphone amp…

Pros
  • Eliminates the uncertainty associated with older PC sound quality and compatibility, Hi-Fidelity external sound card with CD quality sample rates
Cons
