Its Pretty Good
This action is camera is honestly the best bang for your buck. Compared to the GoPro in price...this is unbeatable! Pick one up if you are looking to record but still save some money as well.

OUTSTANDING podcast/gaming mic!
The media could not be loaded.
I have used every kind of microphone you can name over the last 40 years. I have been using a Movo LV8 cardioid condenser mic plugged into a Focusrite Scarlett Solo USB preamp with OBS Studio to do my podcasts/Youtube streams. I ordered this Soontrans mic mostly to use as a "prop" in my Youtube studio. But it sounds GREAT!!! And it was truly Windows 11 Plug n Play (but remember--there is an On/Off touch switch on the top, and a very smooth and comfortable gain knob with fine adjustment on the bottom.) Remember, this is a "cardioid" pattern mic, so it does not pick up as much area noise as the more common Omnidirectional condenser mics you find. I'm a baritone, FWIW, and this mic is PERFECT for capturing my voice for podcast/Youtube. (14mm diaphragm condenser.) And yes, the cycling LED colors look kind of cool (my set colors are neon primary colors.) VERY pleasantly surprised! Great value for the money!

Nice webcam and no fuss to work on Linux
As a Linux enthusiast I get used to having to sometimes mess around a bit to get things to work. Not the case with this Angetube webcam. Just plugged it in and it was detected and working right out of the box. It was tested using guvcview, Teams and Zoom and it just worked.The optical zoom, auto-focus and auto-exposure work very well and are most convenient. I tried the auto-white balance and that worked fine although in my home office it was a bit too red. A simple hue adjustment took care of that. The microphone sounded very good and it has the right frequency response (a slight hi end kick) that seems to help speech intelligibility. The default level was a bit low but easily adjusted in the sound device control panel.The sliding privacy cover is a lot more professional than a piece of masking tape. ;-)I have had other Angetube cameras and they are still working without a hitch. This is a good purchase given the quality, performance and exceptional customer support. And, if you run Linux, this is a no-fuss device.

Great performance for a low price but volume defau
Pro: These can be used with a headphone jack or wirelessly. A great option to conserve battery life.Con: Microphone can only be used wirelessly.Pro: Battery life is great. I wear these while working and even after 12 hrs of continuous use, I haven't had a low battery.Con: These power on at 100% volume when using wirelessly.Pro: 100% volume is VERY loud.Pro: The over the ear padding blocks out a lot of background noise.Con: Going from a noiseless environment to 100 % volume is a jump scare and possible hearing risk. I've actually thrown off the headphones when I've forgetten to pause my music first.Pro: The construction is sturdy enough that thowing them has not impacted their performance.PS - I thought it could be my computer, but I've checeked all the settings and don't have this volume problem with other devices. Anyone else have this problem and know how to fix?

Perfect sound and connectivity
There's no denying the sound on these Bose earbuds is beyond good, with just the right amount of bass they really are superb. I also find the winged tips sit nicely in my ear making them both comfortable and secure when moving around. They come in USB-C charging case that when fully charged will recharge them twice.The bluetooth connectivity is also good and I haven't had any problems with it dropping out or failing to connect. The touch controls are responsive though limited in functionality when compared to some other makes and not having volume control on them is a bit of a negative for me. Its also worth noting that the right one is the master and whilst it can be used either with or without the left, the left can't be used on its own and doesn't have a microphone.The Bose Music app doesn't provide much in the way of settings adjustment but is worth downloading as future updates will be provided via it.

Fantastic little device if your headphones don't h
Razer really knew their audience with this one. A great pairing for mid/hi-fi headphones that often don't include a microphone. Ultimately cheaper than offerings like the HyperX Solocast and Blue Snowball as the increased clarity, integrated shock-absorption, and supercardoid recording pattern effectively eliminate the need for additional accessories like a boom arm (because really, if you're doing professional recording or streaming work, you're probably not going to be looking at this price bracket).Pros:- Incredible value/price, practically a must-buy when on sale for $35- Very compact compared to similar competitors- No additional accessories (shock mount, boom arm, pop filter) required to use properly (though I do recommend noise-cancelling for loud keyboards).Cons:- No mute button- Clearly prioritizes vocal clarity over natural tone. Fantastic for gamers and basic chat usage, but almost definitely not desirable for anything that necessitates better vocal fidelity.

Just works out of the box but is also configurable
Bought this when my existing webcam (same model but about 10 years old) failed. The video on the old one started strobing then failed - audio continued to work. The new one is identical apart from 'logi' badging as opposed to 'Logitech'. For the user it is simply plug and play - I'm using Windows 10 on a desktop and it just sits on my Dell monitor. It comes with 'Logitech Camera Settings' software. I have not needed to alter the defaults but have played with the software which gives you control over contrast, brightness and 'colour' (as in temperature - default is 4000K).The camera is slightly warm in use. My main use is Zoom and I also use the microphone when not using video, for example with Duolingo for language learning - for which the sound quality appears to be adequate.It is well designed (just check that it will sit on your monitor - if you have a VERY thin bezel then it might not sit comfortably!) and is, in my opinion, really good value for money

The Snowball Ice Has Received Some Updates!
I originally bought the Snowball Ice in 2016, and managed to break it on accident in 2017. When that happened, I bought the older Snowball with the 3 settings. And now here in 2019, I bought another Snowball ice.The mic quality is still the same, however, there are some minimal changes to the Ice model.First, the newer Snowball Ice's now use a micro usb cable instead a USB type B cable, commonly used for printers. So no more bulky printer cables, we now get a standard micro usb cable for this microphone. It's also more flexible, thinner and a bit longer.Secondly, the red led is much more subtle and not as bright. On the older Snowball Ice the red LED was very bright and was distracting, in fact I had to put duck tape over the LED so it wasn't shining in my face. This new LED however is more dim and easy on the eyes.Otherwise, this is the same snowball ice. Highly recommend it.

Great value earbud with good sound quality and ver
Really like the sound quality on these buds. For somewhere in the range of $20 the sound quality you get from these competes with much more expensive options on the market. The water resistance rating is great and I haven't had any issues despite sweating all over them a few times per week as I wear them for workouts. The internal microphone is decent and I only get infrequent complaints of not being to hear me the best if I'm in a loud place or out in the strong wind. My only complaint is the capacitive buttons can be a bit finicky and sometimes don't respond to the first touch or two, almost like they need to "wake up" to the touches before they respond. But eventually I'm always able to get them to work. Also I love the wireless charging capability of the case...one less thing to have to plug in, especially since the case has the old micro-USB standard which is finicky. Overall, very good buds for a great value!
