By 'eck that'll be Beyerdynamic

Advantages: excellent sound, comfort and durability
Disadvantages: none at all it even blocks outside noise

...Wanting a pair of in ear headphones in a bud like shape to help remove background noise when working out in the gym and jogging along main roads the Beyerdynamic DTX 50 were recommended to me by a friend who has used them without problems for some time. Having had the opportunity to experience the sound quality prior to purchase I had no problems parting with £47 for the wired headphones that have now for over 12 months kept my tunes pumped into my head and the outside world out. The buds sit easily in the ear and the rubber coating is really soft and acts as a barrier between the ear and the plastic sections that are really well made and rock solid which means the ultimate in comfort even when pounding away on the treadmill. The rubber also acts like a form of insulation from outside noise so even when drum and bass if banging away...

Review of beyerdynamic DTX 50

A good reliable microphone.

Advantages: Good quality, no drivers, universal, long, durable.
Disadvantages: Not great for sophisticated recording.

...A very fine computer microphone that has lasted me seven years so far with no issues of compatibility, control, volume or quality. It is light, with a very sleek design. The microphone stick itself can be detached from its base and used as a hand held device but whilst it can be entirely dismantled with ease (so that it is just a mic on the end of a wire,) the stick itself is solid and cannot be manipulated, so should the user wish to physically attach it to their computer, they would probably find it necessary to manoevre themselves so that they are speaking directly into it, as well as using the provided pad for doing so,. -- Due to its lack of malleability, and absence of an earphone, it is not possible to use this product as a headset. For what it is, it is an outstandingly reliable and durable piece of equipment which is...

Review of Logitech Dialog 320 Microphone

Lets talk microphones.

Advantages: High quality mic with background noise reduction.
Disadvantages: The screen adapter is not suited for thin screens.

...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...

Review of Labtec Verse 534 Microphone

Great microphone

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, on/off button. Plug and play
Disadvantages: Picks up speaker echo slightly

...An excellent little pc microphone. I picked up one of these from ebay after reading reviews about it and it's definetly the best microphone i've ever used so far. Very crisp sound quality, excellent for the voice acting work i do, and also voice chats. Only downside is it slightly picks up my speakers sound on voice chat. Overall though i'd high recommend this thing. The design of it is a little weird shaped, but it does the job. It definetly stays put in one spot even if you accidentally knock it. No drives are required for it, just plug in and go. Features a little on / off switch on it too, which is a nice touch as desktop microphones rarely have this feature on them....

Review of Logitech USB Desktop Microphone Microphone

Logitech USB microphone

Advantages: looks nice, Works well, easy to install
Disadvantages: i found none

...I got this microphone recently. My old Creative Labs microphone broke awhile ago. I primarily use this microphone for gaming. I use this usually when i play Counter-Strike. This microphone is clear and works well. Installation was a breeze and was quick. I have to admit this is the best product that i've purchased in months. Most of the products i purchase I'm not happy with. I have to say i was quite pleased with this one. The reason why i went with logitech is because i've owned logitech products in the past. I've owned a logitech mouse and keyboard which i've been using for years. To this date, The keyboard and move still work. That proves logitech has quality in their products. They last long without breaking like other companies out there. Logitech mouses are also the best mouses in my opinion. Another thing thats...

Trust Microphone Is A Winner

Advantages: Sylish Sleek Microphone
Disadvantages: Dont No

...Trust Microphone Is A Winner! This microphone is of a very high quality, it has a wide frequency range sensitivity. This product is made espicailly for chat rooms such as msn messenger, where you can chat using the keyboard , you can go on webcam, and you can send instant audio messesgers through this microphone. If you are keen on MSN or another chat software you should purchase this. If you have this its basically like having a telephone call for free while seeing a live picture also of your friend or friends. Looks This is a sleek microphone and you can get it in silver , grey and black. There is a base which sits well on a flat surface and then there is a stem going up for the microphone piece. All this is very stylish and thin. The wire is also very small which could be good and could be a bad thing. In my opinion its bad as...

Review of Trust DeLuxe MC220G Silverline Microphone

TOPCOM VoIP Microphone Headset 400.

Advantages: Good sound quality.
Disadvantages: None.

...This is a cheap and cheerful set of headphones which I bought at the local market recently, The reason I bought them was the fact that when the younger family members visit they nearly always play games or music on the computer and the only headphones I had was my rather expensive Sony set. So rather than worry about anything happening to them I picked up the Topcom 400 Headset at the very cheap price of £4.99! At that price they sound pretty rubbish but after reading the specs on the package they sounded not bad and I thought I'd give them a go anyway. The Topcom 400 is a headset with a microphone attached and works as microphone & earphone with Skype, MSN Messenger and other communications over the internet, They are also designed to be used with online gaming where you can chat and listen with other gamers or simply...

Pros and cons - Genius MIC 01A microphone

Advantages: Compact
Disadvantages: Very simple

...I bought this microphone years ago to use with my old computer. I stumbled across it again recently and have started using it again. Heres what I found: INSTALLATION So easy its unbelievable. The plug is colour co-ordinated, so all you have to do is look for the wee hole in the back of your computer with red around it, plug it in, and hey presto, you have a working microphone. APPEARANCE Its small, compact, sleek, will fit on your desk no problem. The wire is very long so you're not restricted to where on your desk you can put it. FEATURES Its a very simple microphone, nothing special. Like all mics, you can adjust the volume via the control panel on your computer. This mic is on a stand with a swivel base. It turns 360 degrees which is handy. You can also take the mic out of the stand and hold it while you talk if...

Review of Genius MIC 01A Microphone

If you want sound quality, look no further

Advantages: Excellent sound quality, loud, good background noise reduction, long cable, comfortable
Disadvantages: Ugly, a little on the expensive side

...The Beyerdynamic DT100 headphones have for a long time been the industry standard headphones in sound engineering, so the DT150s, a new improved model, have much to live up to. First off, these are not small, and they aren't particularly light either. That is not to say they are not comfortable, the soft cushions fit nicely over your ears and are excellent at reducing background noise. The headband is also nice and tight, but not too much so, obviously dependant upon your head. Neither are they the most sylish, in my opinion, in fact I would say they are positively ulgy, but I choose my equipment for performance rather than style and performance they have in spades. The bass production is by far the deepest and clearest I have heard from any headphone - it blows the competition away, simple as that. The mids and highs are also crisp...

Only Sweep With Gold On Ya Wrist

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

...The Grime artist and Boy Better Know member Skepta followed-up his ?Greatest Hits? debut in 2007 with ?Microphone Champion? as his second album in 2009 to keep the flow going for the BBK camp and all the artists (such as JME, Jammer and Wiley) who at the time were carrying on the trend of experimentation as they move back towards the club scene for influence from the UK Funky, Bassline and general House fields to come out with more varied material from the Londoner. 1. ?Reflecting? (Intro) 2. ?Are You Ready?? After some fresh rhymes where he sets the scene for things, you find that he gets into more of the sorts of big beats which were used in Wiley?s 2009 album ?Race Against Time?. Wiley is also seen to join him on the hook to assist as he lets people know what he?s about to do on this album and why he can?t be doing with any beef...
