Logitech Wireless Microphone

I've been waiting for this microphone patiently since it was first announced by Logitech ever so long ago. While the $80 price tag seemed a bit steep, the desire of having a completely wireless RockBand set and $40 in Amazon.com gift cards I earned doing internet surveys made the cost a little more reasonable.

I decided to use Amazon's trade-in service to take care of the remaining $40, and free shipping ultimately made it free, other than the time I used to do the surveys and 5 games that I could care less about. The trade-in service is pretty hassle-free. You select the games that you want to trade, print out the invoice and the paid postage-slip, pack it up, and send it off to process. I took care of all that on Thursday (June 11). They were received, processed, and my account was credited on the following Monday (June 15). I purchased through a Marketplace seller, which saved a little more cash at the cost of a slightly longer time to ship it. The total (with...Read more

Pros:

+ Works on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and Wii games I tried.
+ Also works as a wireless PC microphone.
+ Comes with 2 hand straps.
+ Simple setup.
+ Hollow base allows for cord storage.

Cons:

- Not rechargeable, runs off two AA batteries.
- Sensitive on "Star Power" during Guitar Hero games.
- Wrist strap is not adjustable.
- No support for Singstar games
- The box doesn't mention it supports Wii games?

Well, it's rare these days to find a peripheral that works on multiple game systems, and I'm glad that Logitech has strived to please gamers for the Xbox, Wii, and PlayStation.

To start with, this is a very simple microphone to set up. I uploaded the 4-part instruction booklet that came with the microphone (you can see them under "customer images") and within no time at all I had the batteries in, the wrist strap attached, and was playing several different games...Read more

I received this Microphone in the mail and was eager to try it out on my 360 and laptop. Visually there is nothing special about the microphone; its looks almost identical to the Microphone that was included with Rock Band without the wire of course. However, even though its basic looking it does not look (or feel) cheap. It appears to be sturdy enough to take the occasional drop without it falling apart. From past experiences, I have never had any issues with Logitech products and I suspect this one will be no different. I have tested this with both Rock Band and GH:World tour and no problems with either game. In addition, I have no issues with the microphone cutting out due to interference or being out of range. Range is excellent and I'm able to go to my son's room and still have the mic function just fine.

Other than the steep price, I can't find anything wrong with this microphone. It works flawlessly with my XBOX games (no games to test it on with my PS3) and...Read more
