This mic system is amazing only con no headphone monitoring port
Color: Black Set name: A04
Review Image by Let's Be Honest! REVIEWS
I have the white version of this mic and it’s amazing. I got this black version and it had some issues with it. But it happened in shipping so it wasn’t the mic. Because the white version is the identical microphone just different color. And I absolutely love it. I had to return the black version but the white version is spectacular I own a ton of their microphones along with some of their other accessories like audio interfaces and headphones, and I absolutely love this company. So when I saw this microphone, it was one I had not tried before and one I genuinely wanted to test out. I’m also kind of going through a white setup era right now, so the look of this mic immediately caught my attention. When I got it in person, it looked just as good as I hoped. Of course, as always with this brand, the sound quality was absolutely on point. Chef’s kiss. The audio coming out of this mic sounds amazing. It has that rich condenser microphone sound with great detail and warmth, and the 192kHz/24bit recording capability gives you really clean, professional sounding audio. The build quality was phenomenal too, which has honestly been my experience with this brands products overall. Everything feels durable and well made. The microphone has a premium all metal feel and does not feel cheap at all. I also love how versatile this setup is because you get both USB and XLR connectivity. You can literally plug it directly into your computer and start recording right away, or connect it to an audio interface or mixer if you want to build out a more advanced setup later. Setup was super easy and honestly took almost no time. You are getting so much in this kit too. It comes with the boom arm, shock mount, pop filter, foam windscreen, USB cable, and everything you need to get started. I especially like that they included multiple layers of noise reduction between the cardioid pickup pattern, the accessories, and the software controls in USB mode. The software options are another nice touch because you can adjust gain, noise reduction, EQ settings, and dial in your sound more depending on what you are recording. For the price, this is an amazing value. You are getting professional level sound quality, a durable setup, easy plug and play use, and a complete package right out of the box. You can literally plug this in and boom, you are ready to go. This is just another reason why I love MAONO. ... show more

This is a GREAT Beginner to Semi-Pro Mic!

Review Image by Jim Burau
I wish there were more than 5 stars! A little background: I was in radio for many years and have done voiceover work for many more. My usual studio mics have often been a Neumann U87 or similar. But for my day to day in my office, I just needed a solid performing, USB condenser mic with the best sound I could get. And preferably one that didn’t constantly remind me that it’s NOT a Neumann U87. This mic was EXACTLY what I was looking for! The sound is clear and having the windscreen and pop filter does a great job of minimizing plosives. It’s easy to set up. I didn’t need a single tool and I was up and running in under ten minutes. As for sound volume, a few CONS to note: 1. The first is a clarification on the plosives. The mic and accessories do a great job of minimizing that frayed out volume overload that can render a cut useless. But it doesn’t eliminate it altogether. There are still definite volume spikes, so be aware. 2. The input volume is QUITE hot. Even if you follow the instructions to place the pop filter roughly six inches from the mic, the levels are very high. I looked for a way to adjust the input volume, but didn’t have any luck. PRO TIP: I’ve been recording from about a foot or so away from the pop filter which means ambient room noise is also captured. But I’ve found that if I bring the recorded audio into Adobe Audtion and run noise reduction, the final result is almost TOTAL dead room sound! Overall, take it from a pro, this mic is worth every penny! And then some! And the price makes it a no-brainer. Hope that helps! ... show more

For the money, it's unbeatable
Color: Black Set name: A04
Like many people, I've entertained the idea of a simple social media channel. Just getting my feet wet, I know I needed to get used to talking into a microphone while allowing my ideas to flow. Without spending $300+ for a high end mic, this one has been a fantastic option to see how I acclimate to this, without spending a lot. For me, it assembled fairly easy, seems pretty durable (though definitely not pro-grade). My computer (Windows 10) recognized it without any trouble, and I was able to use Windows Recorder right away. Sound quality is very high, I noticed nothing indicating any restrictions in frequency response. Voice is natural and smooth. About the only drawback is the gooseneck for the wind screen could have been a little more robust, but with a little finagling, you should be able to find a mounting spot where it will stay put directly in front of the mic, without sagging too much. Had this been a little more durable, especially the wind screen install, for the price it would have been an easy 5 stars. ... show more

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I will always end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items, just let me know! When purchasing electronic gadgetry, I rarely go the 'cheap' route. I started my research with the expectation of purchasing the Blue Yeti combo which includes the mic, shock mount and scissor arm. But at $300 I wasn't sure if I really needed to go all-in for it. After thoroughly searching reviews and comparing products I decided I'd give this Maono combo pack a go. It comes with the condenser mic, scissor arm, shock mount, and pop filter. The price point of about $60 left me wondering just what I'd be getting but figured if it was terrible, I'd return it, use it somewhere else or simply replace it with a better unit. I'm not a BIG podcaster but have multiple online meetings, participate in events and want to get more into podcast hosting in the future but mostly just wanted a unit I could keep on hand, ready to go and push it out of the way when not needed. Perhaps my bar for expectation was too low given the price point but I'm VERY impressed with this set up for the price. The installation was an absolute breeze. In fact, it was so easy, I didn't even look at the instructions until the end as I thought I had to have missed something. I was able to get it set up in probably 5 minutes and it is truly plug and play with your PC (Windows 10). I plugged it into my USB hub, the PC immediately recognized it and I was ready to go. I did a quick test of mic volume and level and it sounds awesome. All the attachments are intuitive, easy to adjust and attach. As you can see on the one picture, I have the arm attached to the back side of my stand-up desk. It's secure and very easy to swing out of the way. The arm is plenty adjustable, swings easily and I can position the mic in any number of positions based on what I'm needing. I have yet to use the pop filter and probably won't unless I'm on a very important podcast/show. As far as the mic itself, couldn't ask for more. Levels appear good. Volume is good. The only thing to be aware of is that it is a directional mic and, therefore, you need to make sure the "Maono" name and logo on the mic are facing you when mounting it. If you don't, it's going to sound like you are in a closet or under your desk when talking. I tested it in a number of different distances and angles and it has great sensitivity and volume. It has only been two days since I've been using it so I can speak to the durability of the parts, pieces or electronics but everything appears well made, solid and durable. The others on my meeting said I sounded great. I would, without a doubt, purchase this product again and am very glad I saved the $250 to go this route first. Two big thumbs up for this Maono product at this price point. ... show more

Whether I’m gaming, on calls, or recording, it makes everything sound more professional. Setup was super easy—plug and play with no hassle—and it works perfectly right out of the box.
