The sound is inferior to the cheaper, desktop mic by Logitech. Opinion: audio quality is adequate but is typically a little harsh (scratchy, spikey s's, and an over-crisp, digital edge). Some models are surprisingly uncomfortable to wear (the 250), but some folks like the headset convenience for keeping the mic location consistent and the hands free. The Logitech headsets are very widely used (especially the 250 for ~$40US and the 350 for ~$50US the models are proliferating). Headset microphone: Headset microphones combine headphones with a mounted microphone and can be wired (with a USB plug) or wireless.(Blue Yeti mic from Amazon US for ~$115 or Amazon UK for ~£95.) It is big and solid, has virtually no background noise and great sound quality. The Blue Yeti mic is another popular "upgrade" among Librivox volunteers. (Samson Q1U USB mic from Amazon US for ~$40 or Amazon UK for ~£44, or Samson CO1U studio condenser mic from Amazon US for ~$75 or Amazon UK for ~£60.) The Samson mic is a popular "upgrade" among volunteers who love recording. Opinion: the sound is more digital and not so rich as the Samson or Blue Yeti mics, but it's not so edgy or harsh as the headset models. Perhaps the cheapest mic widely used at LV is the Logitech USB desktop microphone (available from Amazon US for ~$25 - very satisfactory for the price!) Desktop microphone: A desktop mic sits on your desk.A digital mic plugs into the USB port and bypasses the sound card, which will give you much better sound quality. An analog mic will plug into the soundcard (plug goes into the pink round jack), the performance of the mic will be affected by the quality of your sound card. Microphones: Microphones can be analog or digital.Use Audacity's excellent noise removal features instead. It is very good for purposes such as Skype calls or gaming, but as it removes all the frequencies of the background noise (including those which your voice uses) you will never get the best quality for audiobook recording with noise-cancelling enabled. If you have a noise-cancelling microphone, or the sound on your computer has a noise-cancelling or noise suppression option, please disable this function. In order to record, you will need a computer and a recording device, which can either be a microphone that plugs into your computer or a digital recorder. 2.4 Recording with a Video Camera or Camcorder.
