Good mic for gamers, zoomers and general recordings.
By April L. on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021
I bought this for my son to replace a dying microphone. He loves it for the recording capabilities and weight. His old microphone was too heavy to use with a microphone arm. This one was fairly light. It goes with a short stand to use on a tabletop or desk. The stand is easily removable so you can use other types of stands. Unfortunately his computer did not recognize this plug n play mic. There's nothing to download to make it work. I decided to replace his usb wire that came in the box with another one and "wallah", it worked! It's an older computer, so perhaps that played into it not working out of the box. It worked on newer laptops and computers in my home. There are rgb lights that might be nice for gamers. My son felt distracted by it. We eventually taped up all lights with black wiring tape because it's constantly on for mute and direction types. The mute button is an important feature. No need to unplug the mic or hassle with the computer to do it. All controls are on the mic itself. My son uses his mic for gaming and zooming for school. He has used it to do recordings for school projects and finds that it does it's job superbly. He's picky so that says a lot. And he takes a long time researching his electronics. We've had this mic for awhile already and it's still going. He uses it for about 12 to 16 hours a day, everyday.

Don't be like me...listen to ALL reviews!!

I got this microphone for the purposes of streaming and entertaining. I had selected this with the help of a friend after seeing videos of the product having a great quality I was willing to pay for. I read the reviews and noticed even the top ones mention how the microphone did not, in fact, WORK OUT OF THE BOX!! The folks who DID manage to get it working had to use other USB-C Cables than the one that was INCLUDED WITH THE MICROPHONE to get it to work! After searching on the internet, switching out the cable was the only solid solution I could find. After **4** cables (not including the USB C cable that didn't even fit into the port.) I could get nothing more than silence broken up by the occasional completely incoherent and utterly worthless robotic wail. Admittedly I haven't contacted customer support, but now that I've learned my lesson to pay heed to the less favorable reviews, something tells me that they won't be much help at all, let alone timely. Maybe it would work if I went out and purchased another cable but it's not my responsibility as the consumer to seek out hardware from external sources because the stuff you include in the box just flat out doesn't work! I'd even recommend a webcam microphone before this. At least you could hear something! I feel like a fool and my friend cannot stop apologizing for vouching with a brand she has trusted for years. Embarrassed and disappointed, I have already started my return process and look forward to literally any other microphone arriving in its place so I can move on from this. I'd say I'd like to forget this microphone, but I will do my darndest to do just the opposite if only so that I can warn any poor schmuck like myself who dare lay eyes on this to steer clear.
