    Is it heavy? Then it must be expensive....

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 26, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All the good things everyone says is true, i got around the sensitivity my keyboard and desk make by using a shock mount and a pop filter. I set the volume to 25 on Windows and i get the perfect amount of volume with out getting too much background keyboard sound. For gaming i adjusted the threshold in game and no sound can be heard but my voice. For the shock mount i got a 48-52mm on amazon, and the "Eggsnow Adjustable Desktop Microphone Holder" for the final look you see in my picture. The pop filter was some generic cheap one, and i cut out the top for the touch mute. FIRMWARE UPDATE: RED -> ON, NO LED - MUTE

    Great cheaper mic

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 17, 2023

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what i was looking for in a cheaper mic. Plug nd play and doesn’t sound too bad. It’s not the absolute clearest mic ever, but my friends and teammates never have a problem hearing me. I use it for valorant and discord and both only pick up my voice, no tapping on my keyboard or anything. However, when i first got it, i was using playback with open mic just to see how clear it sounded (amazing for the price range) but open mic did pick up my keyboard and mouse.

    This + Wireless Earbuds Instead of Gaming Headset!

    Reviewed by Nathan - April 17, 2021

    Just what I needed because I use wireless earbuds for sound and this for a mic when buddies are playing. Not a fan of gaming headsets because they make my ears hurt or sweat plus the weight. This is great with Discord. Had to set the input to sound on the earbuds and output mic to this and adjusted the sensitivity for what worked for me and for friends not hearing my membrane kb. I'm not sure if it will pickup on a clacky mechanical kb. Mute makes the light flash red, just tap the top. I don't need a pop filter. Really great sturdy build quality. Turn it around and tighten the knob. Like ppl said it slides a bit so just put something under it perhaps. I set it behind my monitor when not in use.

    Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

    Easy To Use & Great Sound

    Reviewed by - June 19, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microphone works perfectly during my zoom meetings. I like that it easily connects to my laptop with a usb cord. I can use the microphone right away when I have it plugged in, no extra apps/software is needed to operate the microphone. When I use this microphone during my zoom meetings, I can easily tap the mute button on top. The status light is either steady red or blinking red which lets you know if the microphone is muted or not. Also the microphone can tilt and be adjusted, plus the stand is very secure. After my last zoom meeting, others gave me so much positive feedback regarding the sound quality. Crisp/clean sound, no interference coming from this microphone. So much easier to use this microphone, plus much better sound vs the one built into my laptop. I highly recommend this microphone.

    Horrible build quality

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - June 19, 2022

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Horrible build quality. Microphone stand plastic broke like a breadstick. I tried to adjust the tilt and the plastic broke at the joint. Then soon the whole thing came apart due to the weight of the main mic.

    Great Budget Microphone

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - September 8, 2022

    This is an excellent microphone that picks up your voice accurately and can be adjusted in recording software like OBS. However, make sure you buy a shock mount for this if you are gaming

    Really high quality mic!

    Verified BuyerReviewed by - January 8, 2021

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really high quality sounding mic! Only issue is it picks up keyboards and vibrations on the desk, etc.. I would suggest using a boom arm with it but other than that it’s great!
