This review is not a critique of the Logitech mike, since I have not even received the item yet. Rather this is a critique of Amazon itself. I purchased this item on a Wednesday and it shipped on a Friday (not bad). I paid $49.97. On Sunday I logged in to Amazon to see the status of my order. I find that the price has been dropped to $37.49. Since I’m used to stores refunding the price difference in an item within 30 days, I called Amazon to request this price adjustment. Want to guess what they told me? They could not do it (mind you the item is still in transit). The Amazon representative suggested that I return the item when it arrives and re-order the microphone at the new lower price. Can you believe that logic! Anyway is not the $12 difference that bothers me, it is the ridiculousness of the policy. Amazon just lost a good customer that has spent a few thousand dollars with them. I’m even going to retire my Kindle.

This wireless microphone with USB stand and receiver makes singing in your favorite music game almost 2x the fun. The included 2AA batteries will run the unit for 20 + hours according to the manual and the 2.4 GHz wireless will read at a range of 30 feet away from the unit. The hook up is a very simple USB connection and power on mic button that is discreetly flattened to prevent any accidental press. First off I tried this unit with GH World Tour on PS2 worked great 5 stars on 2 songs that I had only 4 starred previously. Next up the PS3 and a SINGSTAR title NO GO as these games only work with SONYS mics/adapters, this is not a surprise but I thought I would give it a try. The mic worked great on AC/DC rock band,RB track pack 2 as expected. Next up the XBOX360 and GH Metallica, 2 songs later and I am scoring better on that game as a vocalist as well. Very clear reception is offered on this mic and there are no CRACKS or POPS as I sometimes experienced with the old wired LOGITECH mics, also it feels lighter even with batteries but that is probably from the weight drag of the old cord. If you want to sing and play guitar the little mic stand allows for this but you probably are gonna have to sit down and that defeats the wirelss aspect. The price tag should have included a rechargable battery so 1 star off. Now the singer can have the same wireless joy as the rest of the band the next time you fire up your favorite USB MIC supported music game. Recommended heartily.

I love Rock Band and Guitar Hero but the one thing that really annoyed me was the microphone that came with the first Rock Band. I understand how much came with that first set but the microphone was small and didn’t feel anything like a real microphone. I enjoy wireless equipment and I was hoping to find an upgrade for the lousy microphone that was included in the set and Logitech provides an excellent alternative for those who share my disdain for it.

The microphone is fairly easy to use and set up. It’s very light which is odd since its much bigger than the normal microphone that they give you. It’s about the same size as my real microphone but much lighter. The microphone doesn’t miss a note and is great for people who love to play and sing at the same time. I have a stand for normal microphones and this one works with that quite well. The receiver it comes with doubles as a stand but it’s wobbly and isn’t really meant for that (or it is and isn’t very good). I don’t have a headset for my playstation 3 and was hoping to use this as a communication microphone as well. It can be done but the wobbly receiver stand makes that more annoying and tedious than it should be. Despite that small negative this is still a great purchase.

it’s a shame the games don’t all come with wireless equipment but this is a top of the line microphone for those looking to upgrade their level of game. It’s pricey but it’s worth it if you’re really into Rock Band or Guitar Hero. There isn’t a better microphone that emulates the real thing on the market.

What else is there to say about a wireless microphone? Well, it doesn’t suffer from interference problems with the (large number of) other beaming devices around our house. It lets me know exactly how good a singer I am on Guitar Hero (not very). I don’t blame the mic, though, it works fine.

One thing that happens constantly at my place is Rock Band parties. One thing that hampers these fun parties are cords. I can’t stand them and what inadvertently happens is a web or cords that (sometimes drunk) people have to manuever around. It’s not exactly the best experience at times. When I heard that Logitech was bringing a cordless mic to the party, I got excited for a couple reasons. Of course there’s the aforementioned cord issue but also that Logitech makes some great (albeit usually expensive) products. The Wireless Microphone fits right in that same area.

Setup is a breeze. The package comes with two main pieces, the microphone and the holder/USB receiver. Plugging the USB receiver into the Xbox 360 provides you with the wireless capabilities but also doubles as a place to hold your microphone when not being used. It takes AA batteries which is good and bad. I really enjoy products that have a built in rechargable battery, but this also allows quick and easy replacement if you’re in the middle of a party and don’t have time to recharge.

The microphone works very well. It’s more like a full-sized microphone that I’m used to at Karaoke bars and has a nice, heavy heft to it. It picks up your voice a lot better than the mics that come with either Rock Band or Guitar Hero and the sound quality it picks up is also much clearer. I even used it on my PC and recorded some voice tracks to test the quality and it works wonderfully. Ultimately, you get what you pay for and the Logitech microphone excels at both a more maneuverable option and as a great quality microphone. Very much recommended.
