USB-Microphone for Computer/PC Gaming - Entry Level Cardioid Condenser Mic with Tripod Stand, Pop Filter, RGB Lighting Perfect for Streaming, Podcasting, Vocal Recording on YouTube, Skype, and PS4

Item works straight away, great quality.

This microphone shows as a mic rather than a headset and mic quality is really good. Recognised as a mic to work alongside headphones on ps4

Comes in a plain retail box with a carrying pouch and usb cable.This an entry level usb desk mic with stand, pop filter and shock mount that illuminates with a breath red green blue colour scheme when its on.The pop filter arm is flexible and cheap so it can be difficult to bend it into the right positionwithout it flopping down, the shock mound is basically some rubber bands that hold the mic and function at a basic level but the mic can still pick up desk taps and vibrations.Doing a test recording with audacity reveals lots of noise below -50db which is well below what you can hear but its there, and the use of a noise gate would be needed to be honest.The price is cheap for a reason and while it works well enough and the recorded audio is passable for general use like zoom calls or as a kids first mic for games etc i would say there are far better options out there versus this but you would need to pay a bit more though.

Purchased this and the thing didn't even work

Value for money. Achieving my dreams with this ✨⭐️💫

The media could not be loaded. I've been having problems with work calls since Microsoft updated Teams and it's inbuilt background noise filter. I have massive widescreen monitors and sometimes when I'm on a call I need to sit back away from my laptop's internal mic, which used to be fine prior to the upgrade.Not any more..!!! This mic is far more sensitive than my internal mic and I think probably clearer too. I sat right back away from the mic (probably about 3-4 feet away) and it picked everything as clear as crystal and played back as demonstrated in the video.It doesn't take up to much space and has a really long USB cable (probably about 1.5 metres), so even if did need to reposition it, there's plenty of cable to spare.It has slow pulsing colour LED lights, which I thought might be distracting, but to be honest I can't see them behind the pop filter and because it's off to the side of my laptop, It can't be seen on video calls either, so won't be a distraction to whoever I'm talking to.I like it... I tried starting a YouTube channel back in 2020 during lockdown and wanted a decent desktop mic, but they were cost prohibitive (The cheapest I could find back then was over fifty quid), so at just under £30 this seems like a bargain, with clear, crisp sound (even playing back through my rubbish laptop speakers).I recommend anyone who needs a cheap but sensitive mic that they can put in a position that's unobtrusive.... Not everyone wants to look like a pilot, gamer or YouTuber LOL.Hope you find this helpful.

I run a recording studio and have a range of condenser mics, so was curious what a really cheap mic was like.Soundwise it's not bad, I certainly wouldn't use it for serious recording, but in all honesty as a basic mic for a Zoom or even to quickly record a bit of guitar for a song idea it would be fine - and in an emergency I'd even use it as a proper - temporary - mic, and clean up the EQ etc afterwards.The sound floor is pretty low, so there is not much discernible hiss or mic noise. The level is fine and the general sound quality isn't bad.The mic stand and shock mount are awfully cheap and I would not have confidence that they would last that long.The cardioid pattern on the mic seems to be entirely missing, doing a 360 degree rotation while recording I could hear absolutely no different in any position - which is probably for the best as there is nothing to tell you which is the front of the mic.It's a very low cost, and it would get you up and running, but the USB mic market is pretty wide and competitive and unless you are on an absolute budget I'd try and pay a bit more, but if your cash is absolutely limited this would do the job.

I really like this microphone. It connects using a single USB-A cable and it plugged and played on my Windows 11 PC. It comes ready build inside its carry bag and all you have to do is open out the tripod legs and adjust the pop filter. I really like the LED lighting which is limited to the microphone end and I snot very bright. The microphone itself is held on the stand using an "elasticated web". This I assume is to avoid any sound being conducted through the desk to the microphone. A pretty good feature. In terms of sound pick up I had it sitting on the desk under the monitor while I was sitting on a chair and it could pick my voice up clearly. The only negative feature is the flexible arm used to hold the pop filter. While flexible it has a tendency to pull away from the position you place it in. I am not sure is it will give over time but it is manageable if you position it slightly past where you want it so it springs back to the desired position.Overall, I think this is a really nice microphone and has all the main features.
