Buddy GooseneckMic 7G USB Microphone with Adjustable Clamp, Built-in Filtered Audio Technology, Unidirectional Mic for Skype, Google Talk, Google Voice, Works for People with Mobility Issues-(Black)

Idea = 5 starExecution = 2 star....actually 1star, when you consider the $200 price tag!Very useful form factor, I have one at home and at work, however, the one at work stopped working and when I bought a new one the gooseneck was not nearly as stiff as the previous 2 I had purchased – i.e., it is too limp.

So far in one month of use, it works great, is easy to fit into a backpack, and secures to the counters that I have at work. It connects to the PC or Mac via a USB adapter which is a separate piece but comes with the microphone, and the microphone is the old style analog plug in. The USB adapter can accept any microphone. The neck is quite flexible and takes up no space on the counter, which is very convenient. It is about a 4 foot or so neck so it is quite flexible.Accuracy is fine with decent but not excellent background noise reduction.

That's a lot of money, but it's worth it. Excellent microphone. I use it both at work and at home. I have to use DragonDictate to work because of my lack of dexterity, same with doing stuff on the computer at home, but can use a mouse, so a good microphone is imperative.

Other Buddy microphones have worked very well with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but this version has been a real disappointment. It may be because it's not a true USB product, but rather uses a converter to become USB-capable. In in case, it has been a real disappointment. I am a big fan of the Buddy desktop style microphone, which is truly wired for USB.

Did not work from the manufacturer.

Not as before. Flimsy and do noy stay in place against gravity. I want my money back. Shame on you selling a broken weak gooseneck!

they love this thing... they have tried many alternatives for dragon naturally speaking and this is the only one they like... used in an office with many loud noises without any issues

We got this product to use with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It is so much more accurate than using the headphones and microphone that came with Dragon.

VERY GOOD
