No problems experienced here. Maybe they aren't holding their mouth right.....LOL.
I use a cheapy computer mic, with a foot switch in the shack that everybody likes best.
It was hard to get used to not having the remote control when I switched to this set-up.

Audio performance is pretty much the same as the MH-31 microphone that comes with the FT-857/897.
The advantage is that almost all functions of the radio can be controlled from the microphone. Direct entry frequency, mode changes, memory/vfo, and even power on/off. There is even a small thumbwheel on the side. The only issue is remembering how to use all the different buttons to get what you want. And the DTMF tones as an added bonus.
