    Great sounding mic and very easy to setup. Plug and play. Build quality is great.

    I would recommend buying a pop filter as well.

    ***IT COMES WITH A USB WIRE*** don’t know why they would sell you the mic without the power wire lol.

    Je l’utilise pour mon podcast avec Audacity et je suis vraiment satisfait ! Toutefois attention il est relativement lourd si vous voulez le mettre sur un bras articulé, vérifiez d’avoir un bras de bonne qualité et solide ! Mais moi qui l’utilise sur support c’est top !

    Mein erstes richtiges Mikrofon, daher kann ich schlecht mit irgendwelchen Vergleichen oder Fachwissen zu dem Produkt aufwarten. Aber aus der Perspektive eines Laien wirkt das Mikrofon äußerst gut und von der Verarbeitungsqualität voll zufriedenstellend. Ein gewisses Gewicht und die verwendeten Materialien geben das Gefühl etwas hochwertiges zu nutzen. Der Klang wirkt auf mich sehr zufriedenstellend. Ein wenig an den Mikrofon Einstellungen und den richtigen Winkeln zum reinsprechen rumprobieren und schon ist man startklar. Die “Einrichtung” funktioniert also kinderleicht.
    Machen wir uns nichts vor, natürlich ist Klangmäßig immer mehr rauszuholen, wie auch immer bei dieser Art Produkt eine nächsthöhere Preisklasse besteht. Für den Preis im Bereich 100 Euro, ist für mich die Klangqualität aber vollkommen zufriedenstellend und mehr zu erwarten wäre schon irgendwie absurd.
    Auf mich als Laien macht das Mikrofon bisher den Eindruck für normales Sprechen mit Freunden via Discord oder Sykpe, in-Game, sowie für das erstellen von Sprachaufnahmen absolut geeignet zu sein.
    Für Instrumentaufnahmen halt eher weniger, da kommt der Sound nicht so richtig zur Geltung. Und auch für professionelles Live-Streaming oder Gesang sollte man sicherlich ein höherklassiges Modell kaufen.
    Dennoch, für die normalen Zocker und gelegenheits Streamer, als auch für Hobby Synchros oder Aufzeichnen von Sprache für Projekte, sollte das hier absolut geeignet sein und wirkt wertig, robust und vertrauenserweckend.

    I bought this for recording audio for videos and to also record my guitars from my amps. Turns out the microphone has a feature that automatically adjusts the audio which I havent been able to disable so half way through recording any sounds that are somewhat loud are automatically dampened and muffled. I recommend this microphone for talking on skype or discord but for recording music id recommend a different microphone. Dont get me wrong the quality is phenomenal when not auto adjusting then volume that it picks up.

    I’ve had three (going on four, now). They’re good while they work, but don’t buy a warranty for the first one, buy it for the second one and send the first one in as the broken one to get it replaced.

    my headset hurts my ears from time to time and I sometimes just want to take my headset off and just hear everybody through my speakers, but without have to mute my mic. first off, easy plug and play! just from auto adjustments- this mic doesn’t pick up any bg noise when I’m gaming or hardly hearing the mashing of my keyboard and mouse clicks. I’ve tested it plenty of times with the channel and they can automatically tell I got a new mic and even considered buying it themselves. I come out clear and if you’re like me, who gets nervous about it picking up stomach growls or heavy wheezing, look no further because this is the mic bahahaha unless you’re doing asmr because this mic can do that too! sarcastic, but maybe not. this mic has put my mind at ease. also, amazing mic for vocals. I’ve tested it out plenty of times singing and it’s just a beautiful masterpiece. in love!

    Não tem do que reclamar. Muito prático você apenas plugar um microfone como se fosse um pendrive e começar a gravar no seu editor de audio ou participar de reuniões online com mais qualidade e clareza no audio. Um microfone condensador completo e moderno! eu achei que pelo fato de USB teria desvantagens em relação aos de plug XRL’s, mas estão no mesmo nível.

    I use this microphone daily for all of my web meetings. The quality is perfect for what I need. The noise reduction that is built in would be perfect for most people that aren’t in a noisy office space. I recommend krisp ai in conjunction with this mic. With that linked in, no background noise is ever picked up. Very nice usb condenser mic. With extra noise cancellation, sounds just as good as my xlr connected mic with a DAC at home.

    I LOVE this mic. Its fairly inexpensive compared to the competition and the sound quality is pretty great for streaming on twitch like I do. I spend countless hours tweaking mic settings and it sounds perfect! Im sure id prefer an SM7B or an XLR but this mic is perfect for my price right now and I enjoy the quality.

    Il microfono ha un ottima gestione dei rumori, ottima qualità di registrazione, ottimo range e ottimo volume, si puo dire che non richieda nessun tweaking di alcun tipo per essere utilizzato.

    Il microfono é usb e non necessita di alimentatori né schede audio. Nella scatola ci sono anche cavo e treppiedi (tutto sommato di qualità).

    I really like this mic. I bought it to replace a Samson C03 because this one allows no-latency earphone monitoring while I record narration. Works great. But most important is the quality of sound. I’m a former radio professional, an award winning public radio journalist and documentary producer and I’ve worked with a lot of high quality microphones, many of my old associates from back in “the day” swap stories about their favorite mics, mics that they feel made them sound great, mics that today are very expensive. This dang mic may be cheap as dirt but it is very good! If you do voice narration/voice work like I do and like to work a mic close (say, about 3 inches), this mic is Amazing—you simply do not need to spend more. I really think microphone comparisons are mostly subjective (so much depends on the voice or instrument, how the mic is placed, the room, etc.) that it’s quite like the audiophile world where endless reviews compare “subtle” differences. Some mics are horrid of course but this is not among them. I demand high quality sound and this is quite satisfactory.
