Which Webcam has the Best Audio?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
When you record videos, you need good audio in addition to good video. Ideally, you want something that will give you a good experience, especially if you’re on the go. I now have two of these little Eyeball webcams, and the audio quality is great!
The video quality is good, but not excellent. For my needs, I have to have high quality video. However, the audio quality is excellent. The Eyeball is perfect for instant messaging, video conferencing and more. The Eyball contains Blue’s famous professional-quality condenser capsule, which gives it better sound than any other webcam you’ll find.
The Eyeball has several different designs, so that you can find one to match your computer or office decor. It has a retractable lens, and even will turn itself off if you forget to. If you’re me, then you never seem to be able to turn off the camera. However, I’d say that most people do want their cameras turned off when they aren’t intentionally using them.
What’s really nice about the Eyeball is that it connects via mini-USB, and it collapses for easier portability. If you have enough light, I think you’ll be very happy with the video quality. Just like with most webcams, it doesn’t do well in low light. However, I’ve yet to find any cam that does!
If you’re looking for a good portable solution, or even something on your desktop, check out the Eyeball by the folks over at Blue Microphones.

Hey Chris,
I know of a webcam that does pretty well in low-light situations too, does a pretty good video quality and framerate (23fps all the time!) and isn’t expensive. I own it myself. The name:
Logitech QuickCam Chat for Skype
I’m not sure if it will work with Mac, but it certainly works very good with Windows 2000, XP and Vista. I don’t know about Windows 7 yet. It could work.
Hope I’ve helped you, and that you will do a review on it somewhere in the future ;)
Have a nice day!
- Daan.

A Webcam from Hue has vary good audio and has very good video. If you go in to the Hue options you can see the amount of light so that when there is dim light it look like in is day. hope this helps anyone who need a webcam.

Hi Chris,
What kind of camera did you use to record this video? I’m looking for reasonably-priced camera for this kind of recording.
Thanks,
Sam
