It’s plug and play on my windows, Mac and iphone the mic feels solid, the base is very heavy.The microphone is sensitive and clear, That green light is the mute button,works as a USB sound card too, I can plug the speaker and headphone into the headphone jack.Overall is a great buy for the bucks

How do Behringer produce such a great sounding microphone for such a low price, its not faultless by any means, but fixed on a stand, and a bit of work with the EQ, and wow what an incredible microphone, I now have two of these microphones and will buy a third soon, they do the business, that's what counts, it feels solid and so far so good, no problems. Its well worth a try, I've had mics stolen in the past and replacing an SM58 is sore on the wallet, but no such worries with this mic. Try it, you will be pleasantly surprised.

Good solid metal rail. I started to making movies with my dslr. But I have to attached with a lot of tool. Such as microphone. Flash light, remote control receiver. This rail really solve the problems.it,s easy to slide to the flashlight slot. It,s handy ,can bring it to any location. I will recommend to eveyone.

I mainly use this for vocals through a Motu unit into my computer.Thus far it has worked great.Like many others have said, this is a very solid feeling microphone. It also comes in its own nice little case, which makes it easy to move around and store safely.

Very solid microphone I don't know how they do it for the price as the build quality is really impressive and it sounds good too! I would recommend this to friends and would definitely buy again but I doubt I will need to for some time. I use it for beatboxing and recording lyrics.

I record music for a living. I've used my fair share of microphones and know what I want in a mic. This mic is primarily used for voice chatting on my computer through discord or Skype or zoom. As a result, I wanted something with no frills and minimal wires. This fits the bill to a T and also gas great features. On the rare chance I use it to record acoustic guitar and voice at the same time, the omni polar pattern will be great.The settings are very straight forward and easy to use and I can't recommend this mic enough.

I purchased the Maono PM401 a in 2020 and have used it for podcasting, twitch streaming, discord, and others. I was very satisfied with that product, so I requested a Maono PM471 through the Amazon Vine program. I pulled both microphones into Audacity (free audio recording software) and recorded a few phases with each one. The PM471 is significantly louder and has a bit more clarity. The plosives ("p" sounds) are pretty profoundly pronounced, even when using the included pop screen. For the low price of this microphone, you can't do much better.In terms of frequency response, the PM401 (which is also available on Amazon) has a pretty even frequency response that rolls off at the high end. This PM471 rolls off at the low end (around 50 Hz), bumps up around the upper-mid range (between 5k and 15k Hz), and rolls off again at the high end (above 15k Hz). In my opinion, this PM471 will be better for vocals, but it it will take some post processing to give it that warm, buttery podcast sound.The body of the microphone is plastic.The microphone comes with a shock mount, pop screen, mini-tripod, and a 6-foot USB-C cable. The shock mount is a made of a hard plastic and nice rubber bands. I think it will hold up as long as you aren't throwing it around. The bands will probably become brittle over the course of several years, but that's unavoidable. In front of this whole mechanism is a low-profile pop screen that looks really cool and looks much less agressive on video chat than a full size pop screen. At the bottom of the shock mount is the female end of a standard 5/8-inch mic stand. The threads appear to be plastic, so I wouldn't recommend frequently unscrewing it.Speaking of mic stands, this comes with a small tripod stand. I've had a few of these over the years, but the one that comes with the PM471 has heavy metal feet. The feet are so heavy, in fact, that they will fold in on their own as soon as you pick it up. This might be a little annoying if you move it around while you're recording, but otherwise it's nice and sturdy.For the record, I think the Maono PM401 is a better microphone, but it's $15 more.

Pro:Solid build and good looking .Sound quality.Good microphone.Worked as advertised and meet my expectations .Reasonable price .Con:Bulky for kid under 13 years old . But OK for adult .USB light needed adapter not included .But I don't use it so not a big deal.
