USB Podcast Condenser Microphone Kit 192kHZ/24bit Plug & Play Computer PC Microphone Studio Streaming Cardioid Mic with Professional Sound Chipset for Recording Broadcasting YouTube Gaming

The media could not be loaded. Overall this is a great little mic and setup. Check out the video I posted. The internal mic on my iPad Pro sounds more tinny but the USB mic definitely sounds more professional. This isn’t a $200-$500 mic, but it’s great for the price and as a new YouTuber I think it’s going to be incredibly helpful as I create content for my channel. Overall everything was easy to setup and fairly self explanatory, but there are instructions included if you need any extra help. One thing that was exciting to me in purchasing this mic was the boom arm that can reach out to get the mic closer to your face. If you’re recording from your desk it’s great to setup and get the mic closer to your face without losing desk real estate. Additionally, I have a tripod for my camera and was able to mount this to the stand using the C clamp for the base of the boom arm and I was able to use it while standing to pull the mic closer to my face. General rule of thumb is to try and get the mic no more than 3 feet from your face and this definitely does the trick. One thing that I love that I didn’t show is that the packaging isn’t styrofoam and is a semi translucent plastic material that is kind of like styrofoam but without all the mess and little staticky pieces that come off. This is great because it’s super easy to take the mic apart and then use the original box to store it in if you don’t have any professional equipment boxes. I am overall pretty excited about incorporating this into my work and excited to get some quality content created with the help of this great little mic.

Hooked up and easy installation looks very nice

This thing is 'inexepensive'. it works. One I received was a refurb and had obviously been installed at least once before. Some of it wasn't together quite correct, but was very easy to fix. This is worth what I paid for it! Won't be winning any Tony awards or make'n big bux on the air, but for my use - does the job well.

After over a week of testing I thought I would leave a review. I know a lot of people get this type of setup for podcasting and gaming but my use case was for VOIP calling. Since we have moved back to remote work for the time being, I kept being the person that people would ask to go on mute because all (and there were many) headsets I've used picked up too much background noise during conference calls. Since I've been using this I have had zero complaints and actually quite a few compliments on how well people could hear me now. My setup is leveraging google voice for free calls. This is a trick I learned at the beginning of the pandemic when the cell service in our area seemed to be getting overwhelmed at the top of each hour as lockdown started an more people were doing the same.I've also done some test voice and acoustic guitar recording into my pc (Using audacity as the recorder) and the sound was crystal clear.Can't say enough good stuff about this especially at the price point.The arm is supporting and easily adjustable too. Nothing but win so far with this microphone.

I have used this mic for some time now so I can actually compare and say that the pros and cons are.The mic was good for the price. Although the problem this mic is not meant for recording. I am a professional in the industry and work on game design and development to voice acting to gaming.What I have found is the audio is good for something like discord or talking in-game.In terms of recording, I have tried multiple software: Adobe Audition, Fruity Loops, Aducity, Davinci, etc.The hiss is absolutely terrible, I have soundproof the room, turned off any electronics, turned off the air conditioner anything that could or would make a noise and the problem still is there.I have used the mic through something like VoiceMeter potato and banana, and this did not help.The armbar is not terrible its pretty standard.I went out and bought a metal mesh filter to see if that would help and it proved no luck.I have tried using this mic to record instruments, and my god the quality was terrible.The only pros to this review are really the price and makes you look more professional as it does have a sleek design to it.I have recorded several youtube videos with this and after hours of editing the voice it can come out to halfway decent.I do stream on twitch and my subs and followers always complain about this mic and the hissing noise.That's pretty much it.

Pros:Easy to set up.Sounds good after some EQCons:Noise floor is very loud. You can hear everything if you dont set it up correctlyThe shock mount for holding the microphone was loose from the box. There is no way to tighten it since its riveted in. The stand in my opinion needs to stretch out more. The arm mountable pop filter falls/hangs down. (Use the one that goes over the mic instead)Overall/TLDR: Its an okay mic for just starting out. Just some issues but those can be either eq'd out or by getting a better shock mount for it.

This microphone is great for so many reasons! First off, the sound quality is crystal clear. I bought this mic for making videos and I am extremely impressed with how it can easily picks up vocals without any issues. I am able to hear my voice clearly and without any muffling or background noise. Secondly, the price is a great choice for those looking for a budget friendly starter mic. I would recommend this to anyone interested in streaming or podcast. Third, I absolutely love the mounting equipment that came with the microphone. It stays firm at the base where I mounted to my desk, but I am still able to adjust and pivot at the joints to move the mic in any position I find most comfortable. Overall, I love the professional look and the value from this product as a whole. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!
