Mic is "roboty" - Steelseries V2 Siberia Frost Blue

[suprst4r]

My old mic didn't make me sound like this. It was also 3.5mm versus this headset being USB but I sound like crap. Any idea how to make this sound better? Is this a defective product?

Just sounds like a cheap mic to me. What are your sound settings set to? If any gain is being applied, removing it might help.
