    • WOW!!! Worth way more than what I paid
Style: Q2U Gray
WOW! This mic is amazing. Literally plug and play, runs off laptop power (no external power required), and the audio quality is FANTASTIC compared to other offerings out there. I also own a $100 Blue Yeti mic and the sound quality is comparabale/the yeti is actually a little bit more annoying to use compared to this mic. Absolutely blown away by the quality for price (paid $70 for this one) -- you can set up filters on your end like compressor, noise suppression, EQ3 etc. to get the best bang for your buck, but this is seriously so high quality and such a good deal for the price. Not sure how it performs for singing but I am extremely satisfied for podcasting/gaming commentary/overall quality. Recently purchased a $26 Bluetooth lav mic set which had absolutely meh sound quality -- spending $44 more on this one was so worth it. The sound quality difference is just so insane. Not as portable as a lav but anywhere you can take your laptop you can take this mic and have wonderful quality audio wherever you need. Highly recommend, especially if you are considering shelling out more for the Yeti. Pick this one instead. ... show more

    • Most versatile microphones
Style: Q2U Gray
After reading several reviews on podcast microphones, I decided to go with this one. I have not yet been disappointed. Well I have many high-end microphones. There are times I like to go back to basics. This is well built. Good quality materials. The versatility of this is what what gives it a five star reading. Fact that I can use simplicity by plugging it already into my USB, it also has a XLR connection and you can even connect headphones to this. Microphone. Works amazingly well, extremely sensitive and has a great quality recording sound ... show more

    • Great Value DYNAMIC Microphone with USB and XLR Compatibility
Style: Q2U Gray
I purchased this in late June 2021 and this review is being written in late May 2023. This microphone was recommended to me by a number of different reviewers, and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend checking out the review of it by Podcastage on YouTube for a nice look into how it sounds with various testing methods. Some things to know: this is a dynamic microphone, so the source of sound needs to be close to it, and the polar pattern and sensitivity of it is such that you only really get clear, crisp audio speaking directly into the front/top of the microphone. It comes with a short tripod stand, but I find it awkward on my desk due to my USB drawing tablet. If not for that it would fit okay, but might still be a bit too low. However, the clamp on the stand (secured with a Phillips head screw) is quite loose on mine. It's a bit of a hassle to get it to stay put outside of its maximum range of motion, and is prone to drooping forwards or backwards depending on how it's positioned (i.e. wherever most of the downwards force is distributed relative to where the clamp is). Inserting the microphone into the stand is simple. USB and XLR connectivity make it extremely convenient for most people while also offering an opportunity to improve the quality alongside of your hardware. Some people cite issues with the device being recognized or detected on their PC. I have not experienced this, but I've heard it from two people that I know personally to some extent, so that's a fair warning. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the product, an incompatibility with the setup, or some other such thing, but I think it's a relevant issue to be concerned about. Honestly, outside of the flimsy stand, I don't really have any issues with this product. In fact, I think it's a superb purchase for anybody looking for a quality microphone so long as they understand what they're getting into with dynamic vs. condenser microphones and all of that jazz. I've had no issues with it that I can remember in the time since I've bought it, and I use it very regularly. I've even dropped it a few times and it still works perfectly fine with no cosmetic damage either. I will say though, if you're willing to go past ~$120.00 or so, your options open up a lot and I think you can get a better product dollar-for-dollar. At its price point though, I think this is an excellent product. ... show more

    • Cheap, Quality Mic
Style: Q2U Gray
I bought this Dec 2022 and now it’s Dec 2023, so I’ve had a whole year with this. Out of the box, the volume was still low for me next to my mouth, so I needed to make some adjustments in OBS. It captures my voice well, but this thing is noisy. IDK if the terminology is correct, but raising the volume raised the noise floor and I have to use filters to cut most of it out. Even then, you can hear slight static when I speak. Before I did any of that, raising the volume in an editor still resulted in noise. May be interference with the wire too. Other than that, I think this is pretty solid. My voice is clear, and that’s all I need since I’m not doing any professional work. I’ve never used it in a live application such as Discord or gaming, so I can’t tell you how it sounds there. Another thing, this mic is sensitive. Keeping it close to your mouth helps with noise rejection, but if you have it pumped up like I do it still picks up keyboard thwocks and mouse clicks. If you position the rear of the mic to the noisiest sound, it should help mitigate that, but my setup doesn’t allow that. This is all on USB as I don’t have an audio interface. I also have it on a boom arm to get it close to my mouth. It sits a couple inches to eight inches away. The mute switch is nice. Overall, I think this is a good mic if you’re looking for something less than $100, and is USB/XLR. For someone that has no idea what they’re doing and is looking for something relatively inexpensive (me), it works. There are alternatives with USB-C connections if you’re looking for something more modern. Like the ATR2100x-USB. If you’re looking at either, both seem to go on sale regularly, so I’d wait for the price to drop before grabbing one. Of course, at $60, this is a fine grab too. ... show more
