Model:
Martel Conference Grabber Omni-directional Microphone
General Comments:
Affordable "Conference" microphone for your laptop: This Martel microphone seems to be a good value. It appears to have a longer cord and a really obvious on-off switch. Money back guarantee!

Model:
Crown Sound-Grabber-II Conference Microphone
General Comments:
It uses an internal AA battery and the newest version has a two-piece (paddle + handle) design which snaps together. About $75. However, we are told the battery life is not as good on the new version as was the old model, and we're concerned about the longevity of the snap-together design. No power switch, ugh.
