The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is a piece of essential equipment for anyone from the highly successful businessman to the average student looking to talk to people over the Internet.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is perfect for use with voice over IP applications or instant messaging applications as the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone features background noise technology to filter out background noise. The background noise filtration technology is quite good as it is capable of reducing the amount of background noise such as other voices and machines however from personal experience I find that the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone does pick up music from my Technika TA-05 headphones if I have the music up too loud (which is quite often lol).
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone connects to the pc through the mic port that most pc and laptops have. The microphone is a plug and plug device so it can be used as soon as it is plugged into the computer without the need to install various drivers in order to use the microphone.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone has a built in mute switch on the underside of the microphone. This allows for easy muting during phones calls and other such occasions.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is mounted on a stand when it is first brought however it does come with a smaller adaptation that allows the microphone to be stuck to the side of a desk or computer screen (although with thin screens the adapter is a little too big to fit onto the side without over hanging the edge). Both the stand and the adapter allows the microphone to be moved up and down so that it suits the angle that best suits you.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is quite widely available for less then £10, which is a bargain considering how useful the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone can be.
The Labtec Verse 534 Microphone is perfect for those of you who wish to have free voice calls over messaging clients or for use with voice over IP applications. I would recommend the Labtec Verse 534 Microphone to anyone who likes to talk to other people anywhere in the world through the Internet.
Advantages: One of the cheapest microphone available Disadvantages: Noise reduction is slightly poor
If you're looking for a bargain price microphone for your PC I doubt you'll do better than this. With a little searching its not too difficult to find it for under £10 making it one of the cheapest mics out there.
The microphone isn't that big so it shouldn't be too hard finding a place on your desk to put it and even if you can't find a space there it comes with a handy little accessory that you can use to clip it to the side of your monitor.
... ...be Skype or online gaming, your friends certainly won't find it hard to hear you. You certainly don't need to raise your voice or even be too close to the microphone for it to pick you up.
Where it falls short however is for proper voice recording. If you're looking to do a podcast or perhaps record that demo of you singing you definitely do not want this microphone. While it does come with noise removal built in, it isn't that good and you'll ...

I enjoy laying in bed half asleep listening to music from my PC so a few weeks ago when my speakers started to crackle I was devastated.
I messed around with them for a few days but the crackling just seemed to get worse and so I decided that it was... more
