I have heard several 7300's on the air with the stock mic and the sound great,, I have a 7300 mic I use on my 7200 and 7410 and they have plenty of audio punch to run the radios at full power out with the mic gain below 50%

new ones are made in china and not as good as the older made in japan ones, (watch out some of the clone ones also say made in japan on the back),, also the new hm-219 mic that comes with the icom 7300 is a great mic, better than the hm-36 japan ones and is about $55 new
