really wanted to like it but it just didn't fit the bill

definitely disappointed with this mic. The main reason I bought it was that it had a mute button. back then i had a laptop with a built in microphone on the keyboard and you could hear the fan running through it and it was making a loud noise so i needed an external microphone. The mute button was the most important for me because I would have long Skype sessions with someone I loved far away and often she would fall asleep at some point during the late night talks and we sort of just napped…

Pros
  • finally bought it
Cons
  • slightly dented

Works great with Dragon Speak 12

I bought this for my 12 year old daughter who uses Dragon Speak at school because she has dysgraphia. She is thrilled that she has a microphone that helps Dragon Speak pronounce most words correctly. She was very upset with her old microphone that we had lying around because Dragon made a lot of mistakes with it. I'm glad it has a USB cable that's thicker than cables on 3.5mm mics. My daughter ruined more than one mic/headphone cable because they were too flimsy. This works great for them and…

Pros
  • Best niche
Cons
  • Protection

Uncomfortable in a professional environment.

1. The noise level is too low. I had nothing but complaints from everyone on the other end. It provides excellent noise cancellation, but at the same time reduces and does not increase the sound level. Not applicable in a professional environment. You will make a fool of yourself.2. Bought a few months ago and just started installing it. We tried to return it but we were refused. Terrible product, terrible business practice.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • May cause injury

Good directivity, terrible sound quality

Good things first. The microphone is very directional. It has good sensitivity to the mic, but as the sound source moves away from the front of the mic, the sensitivity decreases until you hear almost nothing when the source is at a 90 degree angle to the front of the mic. . There seems to be a slight sensitivity jump in the opposite direction (meaning it's a hypercardioid mic, I think). Now for the bad: the sound quality is terrible. The internal sample rate is just 22.5kHz right off the bat…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Very good product!: Audio and video accessories

When I opened the package, I was very surprised at the high quality. I have bought many desktop mics and have been very disappointed but the Amigo Cobra is very slim and sturdy and I was very happy to read that it works with Dragon Naturally Speaking - I didn't know that when I placed my order and I did was very satisfied satisfied. I will definitely buy from this seller again! Thanks for a well made product.

Pros
  • Don't waste your time
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

The best microphone ever!

My wife has a disability and the computer is her lifeline. We've tried many different microphones with Dragon Speak, with limited success. This microphone certainly puts the others to shame. It integrates with Dragon Speak and perfectly mimics their speech and typing. There are far fewer problems and errors. Dragon Speak should state that this is best used with their product. To be honest it has vastly improved my wife's interactions with her computer, her friends, social media and her life. We

Works great with Dragon NaturallySpeaking!

I have been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking dictation software for several years now. Since I never use a headset, I've experimented with different brands of microphones and still haven't found one that works perfectly with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The problem is that most microphones are omnidirectional, so they pick up a lot of background noise. The Amigo microphone, on the other hand, is unidirectional. It's also small and has an attractive style. I just plugged it into a USB port on my…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Useless features

Increased range by 2 feet - good mic for the price

For about $15 I increased it by 2 feet. It works great with this phone holder: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J3NO3FS I also contacted customer service to ask about this and it seems this mic has the same tone filtering technology as the other mics in the Buddy - and flamingo line. Given that this mic is probably about half the price of the others, or even less, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. The only downside is that this is a fairly short mic so placement can be an issue. I used to…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some cons
