For my testing, I installed the Samson Sound Deck Software for Mac OS X (available free here) so I could get a feel for how well the noise cancellation worked. The writeup of the app on the Samson website is a bit misleading, showing the Windows version and a full color interface with equalizers, etc. The microphone rotates as needed to face the sound source.

This little speaker is perfect for Skype, FaceTime, YouTube, Messages, voice recognition software, and more.

I really like this product and am using it frequently. The Meteorite The second microphone is also from Samson. It is the USB Condenser Mic, Meteorite. It has an MSRP of $59.99 but is available from for $39.99.

Samson’s Meteorite Microphone The microphone rests in a magnetic base and tilts and swivels as needed to achieve the best sound. It is quite small, less than three inches tall when sitting in the base, but has the look and quality of larger microphones. The surface is chrome, providing a sturdy foundation. Like the other, it includes a one year warranty. The first time you use it, your Mac will recognize the device and automatically install a universal driver.

To select it as the microphone of choice select Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound. Select it as the microphone of choice for both input and output.

This little microphone is quite nice.

It has professional quality sound and a very small footprint – important to those have desks that look like mine. One of these days I will stop and figure out where all the cords go.
