Use Logitech Vantage USB Microphone with Windows Vista
This microphone can also be used to record with a PC. I've used it to record my voice & guitar on a laptop running MS Vista and it has given me surprisingly good results, considering the investment. I just plugged it into a USB port and Vista did its thing installing drivers, etc. and said the device was ready to use. Opened Audacity and started recording. Can't beat it for simplicity and cost economy.

Replacement Mike for Rock Band
This is a quality product that is reasonably priced...especially after your kids wear out the original Rock Band mike!

Works well with Xbox 360 RockBand
I bought this because I did not need the complete instrument set for RockBand. I was worried if the game would recognize the microphone or not. The microphone worked very well and would recommend it to anyone looking for one to purchase to use on RockBand.

Kids love it
I have the American Idol Karaoke game, and my kids were always fighting over the microphone to sing it since it came with only one. Finally I decided to purchase another mic so they can sing together. I chose this one, and it has impressed me so far. It works really well, no problems at all...except reminding them that it is hooked to the xbox360, so they can't run through the house singing with it. :)

Works with Rock Band
I am not a singer but this is fun to use with Rock Band. I bought the game without the instruments and use my GH III wireless Les Paul.

This is a corded microphone. The fifteen foot length is plenty for most situations. It can plug directly in your console if you have a free slot or into a USB hub.

If you prefer black you can get the same Logitech Vantage model that's marked for the PS3 and PS2. That's what I did and it works fine with the 360.

The microphone also works on Windows Vista. Just plug it in and the driver will be installed automatically.
