The main advantage being the computer generated noise level that some internal audio devices suffer from, with the Imic this is absolutely nill and the quality of audio is absolutely first class. I'm toying with the idea of getting a few more of these things and ditching all my sound cards and onboard internal audio devices of all my computers entirely.
