 Mic works fantastic! |
| Review Date: December 11, 2009 |
| Assessor: Jake H, Salt Lake City, UT |
This wireless mic works very well. I bought it with the original Lips bundle to use with manifold music games. So far I am very pleased with the normal in all the games that I own. I have tested it with Lips, The Beatles Rock Band and Rock Band 2.
I was concerned after conception some reviews on here saying that the microphone has lag issues with Rock Band 2. When I first together I noticed that there is a bit of an echo and there did seem to be a bit of a lag that was affecting gameplay. I calibrated my system and tried again. Once I had calibrated it to my TV I no longer had any lag issues. There is still a bit of a delay when playing your voice over the soundtrack. I turned down the mic volume and it works just fine.
I resolute to take it another step to see if there was any noticeable lag as compared to the wired usb mic that comes with Rock Band 2. I signed in under two uncommon profiles and together both mics. I started playing a score duel with myself singing into both mics simultaneously. The result was surprising. I scored nearly exactly the same on both mics. The wireless microphone didn't show any noteworthy lag and provided nearly the exact same result.
All in all I would recommend this Mic if you are wanting to take your whole set up wireless even if I would recommend shopping around to but it in the original bundle with the Lips game and an additional Mic. I was able to find it for 49.99 and I plot on ultimately promotion the game and one of mics online. |
Best Microphone on the market

| Ignore the previous reviews on this manufactured goods. Harmonix released a patch on 9/25 which allows the microphone to be well-matched with Rock Band 2. This is now the best microphone on the market for the 360. |
Excellent mic that could have been Fantastic.....

The wireless 360 LIPS microhpone mics are exceptionally well made. Alot fancier then the ordinary USB microphones used in Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Karaoke Revolution games. They sound better as well. Less distortion then the USB mics. The mics are comfortable and have periodic lights to give them a small bit of flare. Thats personal taste. But I thought it was nice.
So why are these mics excellent and not fantastic...well they have flaws. The system of rotary the mic on and off is honestly rediculous and confusing. The system of involving your mic with the xbox 360 is equally rediculous and confusing. They use LED light indicators to show when a mic is on or off, when the batteries are in succession low. Things of that nature. But I'll be darned if I could really figure it out. They did it this way to avoid putting buttons on the Mic. I can be with you that...but it makes it a royal pain to get it up and started.
The next flaw is of course game compatibility. Most games that this works with, it works with impeccably. LIPS of course, flawless. The Beatles Rock Band, flawless. Guitar Hero 5 and Band Hero nearly flawless, but sometimes they have distress recognizing the mic. You may have to go into the options and make sure the mic has been selected or it won't work. Not hard but it sometimes happens. Then we come to Rock Band 2....ok...heres the thing. They added the online patch for Rock Band 2, as reviewers have noted, you need that patch. If you can't connect to Xbox Live to update. You won't be able to play these on Rock Band 2 right out the box. The next thing is...the lag...the lag is not necessarily as terrible as I thought it would be. In fact it doesn't really sound as much like a lag, more like a background echo. It depends on what type of person you are...I can tolerate it. But if your a perfectionist. It could be annoying. You can try some fixes, lowering your mic volume will reduce the echo. You'll barely be able to hear yourself. But you should still perform well on the game.
Overall I found the mic worth it. But I delight in LIPS alot...which is what its made for. If you want to buy this just for Rock Band 2 for an all wireless setup. Wait awhile. Because its not perfect. If you want to buy this for several music based games but. I saw go for it. Its a excellent mic, but it does have flaws which prevent it from being fantastic. |
Working Fantastic but not with Rock Band 1 or 2 yet...

I really like this Mic and if it weren't for some key features I would of returned since it now has not been patched to work in Rock Band 1 or 2. With a bit of luck by the time the Beatles Rock Band comes out this will be working.
Pros:
Array Life lasted about 3 weeks and has a sleep mode when not being used.
Notes is nice to feel and it's pretty durable.
Wireless works fine and it's range is a lot more then I ever needed.
Looks fantastic with the lights but they only really come into play with the game "Lips" by Microsoft.
A lot better then the ordinary Mics that ship with most Rhythm games.
Has a motion sensor in it which some games take financial help of.
Cons:
A small tough to sync at first but after that I never had a conundrum.
Does not work with Rock Band yet. (rumor has it that this shouldn't be an issue by mid-late September.)
The top of the microphone twists off so you can place in the batteries. It locks in but always feels loose.
The base is small thick. If you use a Mic stand make sure you have a Microphone clamp to hold it.
Pleased with my buy overall but I really want to test this thing out in Rock Band. |
Better than wires.

| Works fantastic. Slight delay initially, but was adjusted within the game. I Use two for Lips, Rock Band 2, and RB2 Beatles. |
