Sorry, but I have to disagree on the Labtec mikes.<br />
<br />
I bought a couple at $7.50 each, shipping included. And the sound quality is commensurate with the price.<br />
<br />
I'll continue to use the $150 mikes I bought through Martel. I use one with my laptop and get good quality --and I do a lot of public hearings where I'm often at some distance from the speakers. I usually have a backup mike plugged into my Mira writer, but I have to admit the quality I get there is not as good.

There are three different Labtec mics out there that I've found. Labtec Verse 303, Verse 333, and Verse 313. I've used the first two and they seem identical. The third one is even cheaper. I'm going to buy it and compare, but does anyone know the difference between them all?<br />

Hi, Kelli, are you selling your mic? If so, I'd like to buy it from you. I've been hesitant to buy the 300 mic bc of the price. But I just bought a Toshiba laptop with Vista, and I can't get my settings right with my mic. I have the one that I bought from Martel that's 149 bucks. I've tried setting the boost and the mic levels, it's still not recording the way I want.<br />

I also use the Labtec microphones. I paid under $10 each for them. They're great. I purchased a microphone from Sound Professionals and am less than pleased with it. I didn't send it back, though. I use it for specific instances in court when we have to go in chambers for motions and sidebars. It manages to pick up voices over the fans in the Daley Center but doesn't do much else well. For depositions, I use the Labtec in my computer and Mira.<br />

My $300 mic from Martel got a short in it after six months. I had purchased the Labtec "cheap" mic for backup. To my utter amazement, it works much better than the $300 malfunctioning rig. I also have used the RadioShack Amplified Listener and it is super!<br />
As far as that annoying BlackBerry interference, RadioShack to the rescue again.<br />
Pkg. of 2 Snap Choke Core, Item Nos. 273-0069 and 273-0067. Obscenely inexpensive. Just snap the slightly larger one on your computer power cord and the other…

Pkg. of 2 Snap Choke Core, Item Nos. 273-0069 and 273-0067. Obscenely inexpensive. Just snap the slightly larger one on your computer power cord and the other two on your headphone cord and amplifier cord. What BlackBerries??!! Very important issue to address. I actually had a witness accept a call right next to my computer (BlackBerry Curve) and the d#*mn thing gave my computer the snowflakes, blue screen, and "dumping physical memory" alert. Everything was okay, but I could have shot her right there, since she did this after I had asked that all BlackBerries be shut down. I understand this problem will only get worse when the new 4Gs hit the market. Hope this helps. I love these forums and have never been much a contributor, but there are much less expensive solutions out there for our needs and we should inform others about it!<br />

I've also used the amplifier from Radio Shack. I went through two of them. It does amplify voices, as well as all other noises. I switched to the USB microphone from Sound Professionals. This company has support for court reporters, too. It works great and is itty bitty. It will plug right into your laptop or you can get cable to attach to it so you can put it in the middle of the table.…

Thanks everybody! I bought a new amplifer today because I have an all day doctor tomorrow and just want to make sure I have a back up. My last one just stopped amplifying, but it could have broken. It's hard to tell because I have a new computer. I'm also going to try the Labtec since it's so cheap and see which works better. I really appreciate the advice. :-)
