I was looking for an inexpensive lapel mic to help capture better audio for some voice recordings for weekly videos. So, tried this one out based on the good reviews. Well, it didn't disappoint. For under $20, this is a great mic.Upon opening the box, there is a velvet bag containing the mic, two clips, 5 wind screens (various colors), and an audio jack for connecting to a PC.I have an iPhone 8+ and so I had my 1/8" to lightning convertor ready. Plugged it in and used the voice memo app to test. Worked like a charm. The clip holds well to clothing and there are several colors of wind screens to suit your preference.I tried plugging it directly into my MacBook Pro audio jack, and you know what - it worked!This mic is very good for spoken word. But, I tried singing, and that was a bit too much volume for this microphone to handle. It's best suited purpose is spoken word - and it does that very well.No regrets. Great purchase.

This mic was more then what I expected and works great and also has an adapter that comes with it and extra foams.

They did what they were meant to do but they not good to hop otp with

Came in near and tidy packaging.This mic is great for a beginner YouTuber/ film producer. Great sound quality after setting up Mic with computer. No external software needed.Looks great and VERY stable, so there's no risk of it falling. Non-extendable legs (I'd prefer off legs could extend)Works best with a pop filter over it.Must buy if you can manage the budget.

I brought the "Blue Microphones Snowball iCE" for live-streaming and recording with game footage.This mic sounds astounding, especially for the price it's a bargain.However I would suggest buying a "boom arm" to get it closer to your mouth, otherwise it sounds a little quite on it's tripod.This is hands down one of my best purchases, the quality is amazing and the voice sounds so smooth and crisp.It's a hit with my viewers both on YouTube and Twitch, so if you're looking for a microphone that sounds amazing then this is the one for you.TL;DRBest microphone for it's price, quality is amazing, great for Twitch, YouTube or podcasting if you do that.(If this review was helpful click "Yes" I'd really appreciate it!)

I purchased this as a compliment to a new pair of headphones that are mic-less and to use on my gaming PC. I have this mic attached to a NEEWER suspension boom scissor arm (using the trick in that one YouTube video) and a cheap pop-filter for all those P's. The sound quality is great and being a condenser mic it doesn't pick up too much background noise. It will pick up the clicking on my mechanical keyboard but isn't noticeable when speaking (i.e., call-outs in-game, Discord, etc.). For the price this is a fantastic microphone and you'll have a hard time beating the quality of this product for the price.

 The FDUCE SL40 is a dynamic microphone with both USB and XLR outputs, which is rare especially at this price range. This is a good sounding microphone, especially if you like the slightly more darker more bass heavy sound, and having both interfaces is great for flexibility, but this has a touch too much self noise over USB for me to give it 5 stars.AUDIOYou should listen to the video attached to this review, as hearing is believing. I recorded myself speaking using Audacity, with no processing (not even volume adjustment). Both microphones were 4-6 inches from my mouth, and I was speaking across the top of both mics. Both microphones were connected via USB. Note that I have a slight lisp when you're listening to the audio.Both microphones I tested sound good, but to my ears, the FDUCE SL40 sounds a bit better than the Samson Q2u -- it's a bit less harsh and I think my voice sounds "better". On the downside, the FDUCE has a slight bit more noise, and it sounds like it's doing some boosting of the lower frequencies.LOOKS/BUILD QUALITYThe FDUCE is all metal and looks pretty good -- it's clearly inspired by the Shure MV7. It has a mute button, gain adjustment, and headphone volume adjustment (all 3 only work when connected via USB). This comes with mount that should work on typical boom arms or mic stands. The included USB C to USB C cable was OK quality, with an included USB C to A converter, and the included XLR cable was also OK. The included foam for the microphone fits well.This also has a 3.5 mm headphone jack for monitoring and playback from your computer.CONCLUSIONIf you're looking for a dynamic microphone with both USB and XLR output, for under $100, you have 3 options: the FDUCE SL40, Samson Q2U, and Audio Technica AT2100x, all of which are within $10 of each other here on Amazon. The FDUCE has a much more bass forward sound which may be more suitable for some voices compared to the other 2, but honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the microphones. I'm taking a star off this one because it has a little bit more noise over USB compared to the Samson Q2U.

Very good quality for normal everyday use, planned to use for recording but ended up using for communication instead. Because of this I had to re-adjust it's distance from me on my desk i.e. had to move it closer to I was clear to other individuals. However overall sound quality is great for the price range.
