 Dependable and CHEAP!Nov 07, 2005
By William Hardin
So you must be in the market for a microphone if you are reading this. Depending on what you want out of a mic, this might be a great bargain choice. I recently tested 30+ of these Sony F-V100 Mics and every single one worked--nice and clean sounding in a streamlined lightweight package.
Pros:
Price (Under $10)
Dependable--very durable
Good audio quality
No on/off switch (less to break)
Lightweight (easy for kids to hold)
9.8 foot cord
Cons:
No on/off switch
Low volume for some uses
Mostly plastic build instead of metal
So if you are looking for an easy to use and durable mic on a budget, this should be exactly what you need. If you have requirements that do not amp the mic much, then you will need a more expensive mic.

 Good for the $$Apr 13, 2010

Purchased one of these for use with students and inexpensive DV camcorders. Works fine - sounds ok. What do you want for $10?! Is it a pro-quality mic? No, of course not - but it sure sounds much better than the on-camera microphone. Works like a charm and for my wallet.

 poor quality, not even good to use as a toy!Jun 16, 2010
By Simpson
I bought this to use as a second microphone for the kids' karaoke machine so two could sing together. I thought the "quality" of the sound wouldn't matter since I was just buying it to use it with my kids toy. Boy was I wrong. The kids fight over using the other one that came with the karaoke singing machine, which is far superior. This one is really a piece of crap and they can barely hear themselves singing when they use it. Don't buy it for any reason. It stinks!

This is an OK mic for the priceMar 08, 2010

I bought this mic about 5 years ago to use on my 4-track recorder. It works fine. On vocals, it sounds a bit muddy, but what do you expect from a sub $[...] mic. Close mic'ing a guitar amp sounds decent. I actually got great sound, but that's my opinion.
As far as the other reviews, I'm not sure about the low gain problems. It could be their system. Since I used mine through a 4-track recorder, I had a different setting where I had to turn a knob in order for me to use a microphone. So really the main culprit could be the system where you plug in the mic.
The problem is the thing doesn't come with a manual so one would think it's plug and play. Clearly it's not.
If you're wondering how it sounds, you can listen to a few songs I did back in 2005 using this little mic. The guitars were mic'ed through the amplifier at about an inch away from the speakers. The amplifier volume was at 45% because I had neighbors and I was recording at night.
Here's the link:

Four of the songs used the Sony mic:
- Won't Go Away
- Homesick
- Make Me Crawl
- Spit In Your Lemon Lime
UPDATE: 03/16/10
Amazon did not allow my link so just go to [...] and look up artist Mario Gozum
