This is really cool except the mouse farts, and other normally quiet ambient noises, were well amplified

Instead, when there is silence it boosts the sound until the ambient noise is incredibly loud

and I can hear the ambient noise of my refrigerator in the kitchen

It willl pick up ambient noise, and background conversations, which may be a problem in some environments.

The mic has different setting allowing you to pick up ambient noise or just one side of the mic, for when you are recording by yourself

Tried to use it for voice-recognition software but pickes up too much ambient noise.

The mic is pretty sensitive and will pick up any ambient noise, like a computer fan or keyboard typing.

They say I sound like a completely different person!(in a GOOD way)The clarity is superb no matter which setting its on, though I normally leave it on -10DB to cancel out the ambient noise

And the -10 db pad is for when you need to get up close to the mic for voice-overs, narration or any other application in which you need to cancel out ambient noise

I was worried that it would pick up too much ambient noise, but I have not had any problems so far

I can't hear any audible pops during playback and it does a great job of minimizing ambient noise even when I had an air conditioner running behind me

I use the -10db setting to eliminate ambient noise, and also purchased a pop filter (required) and a stand.

Room noise was not an issue at all (any good mic requires attention to ambient noise), and I experienced no popping (for voice work, I place all mics to the side and don't speak directly into them).The only negative for my day-to-day use is the need for cord storage

No pops, hisses, nor ambient noise worth concern

The sound quality is amazing, it does pick up some minor ambient noise or white noise what ever it is called but that is very simple to remove in audacity

Poor audio quality, and picks up too much ambient noise, furthermore the build quality is rather low, however for the price this is expected

It's a condenser mic, and doesn't filter out ambient noise as well as I'd like, however for an under forty dollar purchase

Instead, when there is silence it boosts the sound until the ambient noise is incredibly loud

Very clear and crisp A++

Works as I expected

My uses for this mic include voip applications like skype, mumble, ventrillo, and others, as well as for blog posts and even amateur voice recording
