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.

I was in process of thinking of a setup for online teaching and was looking for microphones that ranged 2X-3X. Then one of my colleague suggested me to buy this. First, the whole point of usb connection was really convenient. It's just plug in and go. No issues with detection or installation.The sound quality by far has been really nice. I have recorded more than 10 lectures, each 45 minutes. But all this was not best of this device. The best part was the stand. It is just so free to use. At first I was scared about moving it, but it's very sturdy.The cons is that the cable attached to the microphone is a little loose. Sometimes I heard humming noise in the beginning but then I figured it out.Finally, the mic is good if you're looking for a usb mic. I believe the ones that connect to a studio or amplifier will obviously sound better.

We are doing everything from home these days so I figured it was time to upgrade my mic set-up.Showed up in the expected amount of time in good condition.Was easy to set up even without reading the instructions. Plug and play USB interface, didn't need to install any drivers.I've been using it for the past week for Discord chat and everyone says it's loud and clear.Just last night I had my first virtual choir rehearsal on Jamulus. There was virtually no noise or distortion (after adjusting my recording volume appropriately, it had been turned way up from previously using a low quality mic)It's easy enough to undo the desk clamp and move it around for different angles.I would definitely recommend this as a good starter mic, it comes with a wind screen and gooseneck pop filter, the robot arm stays where you put it. I am very satisfied, would recommend for anyone looking for a starter condeser mic for gaming or basic recording.

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.

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.

Its easy to assemble and reassemble in any location. Records really well. Very happy
