Review: By far best mic for the price - This mic works great! Best USB mic I have ever used. Works well as a room mic for drums. I have used it to record vocals, but it isn't the best for that. It sounds a little bit muddy, and cuts out. However, for just talking it sounds good. It also records bass guitar very well. Sounds crisp and has good bass accuracy. However, it isn't quite cut out for electric guitar--just doesn't sound right. Acoustic guitar sounds great though. It's also very easy to use and quite durable, all metal (except for the little stand thing). Overall, I would definitely recommend as an all around mic. I use it all the time in demos or video calls. It's not quite professional quality though.
Review: Reliable microphone that I bought twice. - I've had this mic for about 8 years. Still works just fine even after my cat has dropped it a million times. Granted, I think this one is one I ordered for my brother later, but his still works just fine as well. Audio quality is good, but not the best. But, I used it for gaming, so that was a non-issue.

## Features

A: I use have Windows 10 and it works, so yeah.

**Q: Does it compatiple a Windows system**
A: Yes, it is compatible with a Windows system.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good general mic
*by K***N on May 16, 2024*

It is a mic, that of which it does well enough in that department. The headphone jack right on the front is quite useful and handy, it outputs a bit on the loud side not going to lie, not necessarily a bad thing however, just something to keep in mind. It only has one mode (supercardioid) which is good, but this means that you have to be speaking rather directly in front of it to pick up your voice properly enough, otherwise It'll sound a bit off literally, otherwise it does a stellar job when you are speaking into it at the optimal angle. Overall for only barely over $50 this mic is a good steal imo, I'd recommend if you need something to start out with content creation or whatnot, I dare say it would be good enough for a podcast setting as well, just be sure to get a on mic pop filter cause if you have the input gain set above 85 (on Windows 10 anyhow), if you're loud enough close to the mic or blow into it, it will peak so be aware of that.
