Hey guys

I have the KD-X8005CBU, which doesn't have a microphone built in.

I found it really frustrating that the default search on Android TV is voice search, even if no mic is detected. It isn't always convenient to get my phone out to do a voice search, and I really didn't want to spend £50 on Sony's Touch Remote thing.

So here is my solution:

I plugged this £2.50 USB condenser mic into a USB port, rebooted the TV (that's an important step) and it works great. It picks up almost everything I say from about 2.5m away from the TV.

Hope that's useful for someone! For such a low price it seems like a no-brainer.
