Soz for the double post by the way.
I had the zalman clip on a while ago, so I know how it sounds. I might sound fine to you, but to me it doesn't. There is a difference between "work", and quality. Yea, you said that right, it needs to be closer to the mouth to capture the full sound. That is another reason why I don't think it's good. I mean it works ok if you just want ppl to hear you.
Btw, what do you guys think about the 990 Pro vs the Vmoda M-100? I know the M-100 is $300. But I heard a lot of ppl on head-fi here are raving about it. The only downside to those Vmoda headphones are the comfort. I had the Vmoda LP a while ago, and as soon as I put it on my head, it started to hurt my ears + head. Even after trying to stress it out for couple days. My brother also tried it and he said the same thing. So I returned the LP, bought it from amazon. And now the M-100 came out, and from the look of it, it has almost the exact shape and size as the LP, except the more expensive driver inside the earcups.
I heaven't heard anyone say the Zalman mic is a great mic. The reason its recommended a lot is because its super cheap and can be clipped onto the cable of any headphones so its universal without any modding required.
I've listened to my voice through the Zalman but I didn't really notice how accurate it sounded because its not a concern for me. It didn't sound particularly inaccurate in my testing but I don't doubt that it is. It does require some mic boost, as well as noise suppression in my case because I've got a fan in my room, but it works perfectly well. Personally I'm not concerned whatsoever about whether or not my voice sounds accurate, just that I'm being heard and understood, and I think a lot of the people who are looking for a quick and easy mic solution without having to use a crappy gaming headset feel the same way.
