I needed a new microphone for my YouTube Channel and I'm really glad I decided to get this one. The sound quality is crystal clear, its super easy to use and the price is unbeatable. I highly recommend this product!

UPDATE: I installed the mic screw mount upside down, so that's why its loose! This mic stand and mic is actually very sturdy.Original:I bought this USB mic so I dont have to be tethered to a lapel mic when narrating videos or presentations. Its an inexpensive improvement over head set mic as you can place it on the desk and be about 12-20 inches from it.I use it in conjunction with my music headphones so there is no feedback issues on my calls. Check out my uploaded video for a comparison test between my gaming headset, laptop mic, and lapel mic.PRO:1. Good clear audio recording from USB connection.2. Simple to setup and light weight3. Gain control knob in front of the mic to increase recording volume.4. Valued pricedCON:1. Gain control does not mute mic - no mute button.2. Included tripod and mount works but the plastic mic holder seems loose. (I INSTALLED IT UPSIDE DOWN - USER ERROR :)3. USB onlyOverall good value for the quality of recording of the mic. You can spend $100+ for other USB mics with more controls, but if you just need a good mic to narrate a Powerpoint or video, and dont want to wear a mic, this may be a good option for you.

This USB microphone is perfect for mic to travel with. It’s very light-weight and sounds very professional.

I'm not a podcaster, vlogger, content creator, or musician and am only reviewing this on one need: a mic for Zoom, Skype, and Hangouts. I needed a better solution than the native Macbook and Surface mics and I recently joined a Kickstarter campaign by Maono on its Maonocaster so I thought i'd try out a mic of theirs while I wait for it. I didnt need a big setup like a pop filter and and arm or a big mount and controls so I purchased this one. And my one line review: exactly what I was looking for.I spent the day trying out this mic vs a Samson Go, the laptop mics, and an old cheap gaming mic from a few years ago. I had a few friends Zoom in and load Hangouts with me and they all said the Maono mic was by far the most crisp and it locks in on the voice. The gain control on the mic is a nice touch. I'm using it about a foot to 16 inches away from the mic so I didn't use the puff that it came with to help with popping.Pros:looks and feels really greatthe stand works well and set up is 2 minutesso far the mic sounds greatlong usb cord is a pluscardioid mics are best for me because I don't have to talk right in front of itCons:would have liked a dedicated volume button, a mic in, and maybe a way to rotate is sideways instead of just 180maybe the only really major thing that is a con to me is that it doesn't have any light indicator to know that it's on or if it's too high or not working. Imagine they have higher priced options but this one was all i could really affordAll in all, this thing likely puts that 40 dollar amazon cardioid to shame and it definitely outshines the Samson Go Mic. I'd put it even better than what I remember my Meteor as a being. Really very very impressed so far and completely recommend it for a dedicated mic for teleconferencing and meetings online during all this Covid stuff.
