5 out of 5 Stars (5)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐[TL;DR]✅ Compact design✅ Built in privacy cover✅ No mic to manage✅ Can fold flat for desktop✅ Has monitor stand✅ Has tripod mount capability✅ Excellent video Quality✅ Plug and Play✅ Would recommend and would order again.[QUALITY] (5/5)[VALUE] (5/5)[EASE OF USE] (5/5)[MET EXPECTATIONS] (5/5)[PACKAGING] (5/5)[REVIEW REMARKS]My laptop does not have a built in webcam and when I ordered this webcam I was not sure what to expect. I was looking for a webcam that has a built in privacy cover. I have another external camera that has a privacy cover, but it always falls off.This camera was $49.99 at the time of order. This is a reasonable price for a versatile camera. This camera sits on top of both my laptop and monitor without any issues. It can also mount to a tripod and it can fold flat to sit on a desktop or shelf.The video quality is pretty good and the fact it does not have a microphone built in made it a solid option for me. I use an external mic or headset for sound, so having a built-in microphone is one less thing to disable.The camera itself can articulate down, up, and side to side. This is great to be able to frame the shot for your video, be it a video call, recorded video, or a vlog.The camera has a light to tell you it is on and the privacy cover has a red dot to indicate that the camera is not broadcasting. This camera checked a lot of boxes for me and I am quite happy with this tiny compact and versatile webcam.In the event that experiences change or evolve, updates may be made to this review to address such developments.

I really like this video monitor a lot. It's very good (more on the monitor below). But this review is more about the customer service/support than the product itself.I had an issue arise with my monitor not long ago. I called customer service and within a week I had a brand new unit delivered to my home. The representative I spoke with could not have been more professional or understanding. She was lovely. I wish all support calls were like this.The monitor has very good color contrast during daytime and "light" conditions. At night and during "low light" conditions, the resolution of the night camera is good, but not perfect. That's okay really because the microphone on the camera picks up even the slightest of noises -- so we are always aware of how our baby is doing. I also like the function that allows us to talk to our child from the monitor so that he can hear us on the built-in microphone on the camera. That way we can often calm him down without going into the room.My only "complaint" about this unit is that the battery life is not what I would have expected. I usually have to charge the monitor twice a week (for a few hours at a time). That's not a lot, but for as little of time as it is actually being used, I would have thought that battery life would have been a bit better. No big deal.I recommend this unit.

I bought 4 of them. The first one was in a drawer for long time, then COVID come and this USB sound card come in handy. Zoom or Microsoft Teams meetings worked great with this card. Our old computer builtin sound card gave a lot of hard time giving tons of noise at meetings. And plugging this USB card to the same computer saved the day. All noise is gone. Sound quality and microphone is clear. Manual sound volume adjusting knob is very handy and smooth. Device takes either 3.5mm 1 TRRS (4 "pins" ) cable connector (headset) or 2 TRS (3 "pins") mic and headphones connectors. No problems with driver setup. Win 10 installs it in no time. It worked with MACbook Pro (Big Sur) and MAC mini (High Sierra). No drivers required, but you need USB A to USB C adapter. Otherwise it's plug and play. Just don't forget to change computer default sound settings to this USB Audio Card and you are set. Type Sound in Win Start search bar, open sound settings, change to default Playback to USB Audio from the list, Select Recording Tab, change to default Microphone settings to this USB Audio. This card is also good for voice recording. Noise cancellation is pretty good. There is mute MIC and headphones buttons that work great when you need them. LED on this unit indicate that it in work. The sound card was used for about a year. No problems so far.

Let's start with audio. There are no complaints here. It's not the very very best given its price but it is not bad at all. The mics are exceptionally good, and since they are directional, they reject external sounds very well. If microphone quality is important to you, I highly recommend thisThe headphone is very light weight and very comfortable. This might be one of the lightest circum-aural headphone that I have ever owned. The ear pads feel great as well. I have no problem wearing this all day.I do have a complain. The build quality is not that great. The plastic creaks every time you handle it. It will not creak once it is on your head so it doesn't affect actual usage, but still, I think HyperX could have chosen slightly better material. But on the other hand, if they upgrade the material while keeping it at the same price point, it might increase the weight which takes out the comfort factor.I own another two pairs of gaming headsets. The Steel Series Arctics 1 and the Hyper X Cloud Alpha S. The Cloud Stinger is similar in price to the Steel Series, but it out performs in both audio quality and mic quality compared to the Steel Series. The Cloud Alpha S is quite a bit higher in price, but it actually is not better. Certainly the build quality in the Cloud Alpha S is better, but a lot heavier as well, so not as comfortable as this. In terms of audio, they are only similar, but the Alpha S actually has a worse microphone. Overall the Cloud Stinger is a winner.

These aren't the best headphones I've used, and I've had a couple of sets that look and feel more premium than these. Those sets have also had a replaceable cable so that if it gets snagged the cable unplugs rather than yanking the headset off. Sound-wise, these are better than the cheaper Sennheisers and Philips headsets I've used, but not a match for a £300 headset. However, for gaming the microphone is great, and a significant improvement over most cheaper sets - not only in the clarity of the sound pick-up, but in the sturdiness of the boom and its smoothness of movement.The sound is nice and clear, with a strong bass - if anything slightly over-emphasising this, so it's not a completely neutral sound, but this is likely what you want for most games. There's a useful volume knob on one side, so that you can easily adjust the volume at the headset, too. It's not crisp enough for individual guitar plucks, but it's probably as good as anything you'd get for £100 or less. The foam surrounds are fairly comfortable, helped by the light weight of the headset. It's a bit plastic-y, but this helps keep the weight down for those long sessions.Unlike some of the other reviews, I don't think this is that stylish a headset - there's much nicer looking ones on the market, but compared to most specifically gaming headsets, this has an excellent microphone, very good sound, decent sound isolation and a light weight. The cable is also very long, so not suitable for general outside use, but handy for use a fair way across a room.

I've been hearing good things about this SL40 mic but it's for good reason. I have been so impressed with this microphone for recording voiceovers, as a gaming mic, and for podcasting. It has a nice metal body and has seems well built. There's an XLR output as well as a little headphone jack on the bottom for monitoring your audio with no latency. A USB-C cable provides power to the mic and acts as a USB interface for Windows and Mac computers, no XLR connection is needed. The USB connection also allows you to easily mute the mic from the microphone itself, as well as adjust the gain and headphone volume levels.I'm using this with a small mixer that has a USB interface to my computer so I tried both the XLR output as well as the built in interface. The audio quality is great with both methods and I didn't have to do much EQing at all to get a nice tone I was happy with. Mounts to any standard mic arm or mic stand. There really isn't any setup involved, once you plug it in, your computer will detect the mic, and you may have to select it as your input device but that's about it.Really good sounding, good quality mic for the price. I love that you have the XLR option but it also has the built in USB interface. It's a lot nicer than I was expecting and I don't think there's a better podcasting type mic at this price point.

I got these microphones for my young niece to record her presentations and music more easily on her iPad. She enters story/speech competitions and also sings and plays piano, so having a hands-free wireless microphone frees her up to be expressive and also improves the recording quality compared to using the built-in microphone on the iPad/computer which is usually further away.The sound quality on these microphones is nice and clear and it's pretty much plug and play. It's nice that they include small foam filters for each mic as well since those could otherwise be hard to source. The battery life is good so recharging with a cable instead of having a charging battery case isn't that big of a deal.The only annoying thing is that it would have been nice if you could charge the microphones with a lightning cable instead of USB-C cable since the version I got has the receiver that connects with a lightning plug. Clearly, if I intend to use it with a lightning port device, I'm more likely to have lightning charging cables already at hand. But they do at least come with two short USB-C cables in the event you don't already have some. USB-C is pretty ubiquitous these days so most people will probably have them, but it still seems like a bit of an oversight/lazy design choice given they offer a lightning port specific model.

 We bought this mic to improve the sound of our YouTube unboxing reviews. I've now used it both on an Android phone and with a Cannon SLR camera. With the Android phone I was able to plug it in directly to the headphone jack and it worked great. With the Cannon camera, I had to use the included adapter to get it to work correctly.The only suggestion that I would make is that the cord was longer. It was just barely long enough for what we needed. If it had been longer it would have been easier to hide the cord under clothing and make sure it stayed out of the camera view.The picture shows that we put the microphone behind her hair and under her clothes but because the cord was just a tad bit to short, it kept popping into view.The video is a good example of the audio which picks up everything in the room really well. We had to redo some things because of folks talking in another room and it picked up their voice really well. This short clip is from the first unboxing video we did on a product called the Womb Music Belly Speaker which we also got from Amazon. You can hear the box noise a bit to much so it didn't fully remove "noise" but to be fair we had the settings optimized for her voice.Overall, we really like the microphone and we'll be using it other videos that we need to do in the future.
