I was blown away by the sound quality of this! For the price point this is fantastic. I love how you can bop the top of it to mute yourself. I use it for everything from streaming to recording songs and it works extremely well for everything. It is really simple to set up top, just plug and go.

This is a pretty good option for a USB mic that works with computers and works pretty well. The mic is plug and play for windows. The build quality is all plastic but still pretty good plastic but is lightweight. The stand, shock mount and pop filter is really nice additions and make this a more complete setup and everything is nice and compact to make this work for you. This is a cardioid mic pattern so that means it will pick up sounds around you but to a lot of people as long as your in a quiet space sounds very full and clear. The mic gain at the bottom and mute at the top is very helpful and really nice to see that the mic not light up means its muted which helps know when its muted. I do wish this also worked on mobile for USB C devices like tablets and the like but had no success running it on my Samsung S8FE or Lenovo Y700 tablets.

Mediocre mic audio reception along side very shoddy build quality.

Unlike many of the things that I get online, I actually got this one for me. I usually help co-host a podcast and also as a manager of a team I'm constantly on teams and zoom hosting meetings and coordinating Affairs for my company. For this reason I really want to get a better quality Mike and the Logitech Headset that I have. This one came up a day after I was talking with someone about recommendations for one that is blue and in the shape of a ball. I didn't seek this one out it actually sought me out. I have another boom mic which I used once before, but the quality would catch everything from a sound perspective including the creek of my chair. That would be great if I had control of the gain but I don't and I don't want to go through the process of buying a soundboard to better control my spatial environment. My small desk necessitated a simple solution, and this was definitely it.So let's talk about what I like:1. One of the nice things I like about this is that it has an automatic gain at the hardware level and doesn't require me to go through Windows to control the ups and downs in my voice that may cause me to sometimes it seem louder than others. This is best when it's done at the hardware level as opposed to the software application Level.2. I really like the configurable lighting options on it, I thought I was just going to turn it off when I got it here because number one I don't normally like that kind of thing on my desktop. But the more I got to use it to remember it became and it was something that I would look at from a distance, and after you've done as many meetings as I have there are times when your equipment isn't what makes you want to be in a meeting. I like being able to configure the color to get it to match my mood.Things that I don't like:1. this is most definitely not an out-of-the-box solution unless you know what you're doing with microphone gains and an understanding of changing the configuration of your inputs in between multiple devices on your workstation. It can be a learning curve.2. I hated magnus, but I had to read the manual to learn how to change the colors and I am not an rtfm kind of guyWould I buy this again absolutely if an event that I ever end up creating that studio of my own I will end up buying at least something similar to this. The one thing I didn't notice in the downs was the fact that it is also a special Mike and sometimes it picks up more things that I would like to have it too, for instance, my male Shih Tzus snoring in the background in the middle of meetings. For that reason I probably am going to be buying one of those egg crate foam booth to put in front of the microphone to prevent this from happening again. I'm keeping it I really do like it.

I have a full Audio Interface and I tend to prefer using good old XLR microphones as a result as they just generally sound better, but I am always interested in giving budget-minded mics a try. This one from Fifine is a USB microphone so no audio interface is needed.It's pretty barebones in terms of features: it just has a gain knob on the bottom for turning yourself up or down and a mute button. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you are looking for. In my opinion, I actually appreciate the simplicity here. You plug it in, your computer automatically recognizes it as a USB microphone, so no software or driver installations are required (at least not on my Windows 11 system) and away you go. Set it as your default communication device and it is set up.This is a condenser mic, so if you are used to a dynamic mic, this is quite a bit more sensitive than that. It will pick up all of the little noises in your room. On the plus side though, you don't have to get right on top of it for it to pick you up either. Sound quality is surprisingly good. For a sub-50 dollar mic, it actually sounds really great. To combat the background noise, I installed Nvidia's Broadcast software. It's free, simple to set up, and the noisegate works brilliantly to remove background noise without messing with the sound of your voice. Once you have set it up, it creates a separate "device" that you would use instead for communications.I LOVE the mute button on top. It's so easy to press. And the RGB lighting turns off when the mic is muted, so there is never any question of whether or not you are muted. Very nice. My one complaint is the same as all the others: I wish I had some way to control the RGB. I would like for it to just be a static color, but it just kind of slowly cycles through different colors and I have not found a way to control it in any way yet.It also comes pre-attached to a shock mount with a stand, a built-in pop filter, and an adapter so you can mount it to a boom arm if you want. This is how I have been using mine for testing.All in all, it's a good looking little mic that punches way above it's weight. There are definitely better mics out there, but in terms of cost vs performance, this thing is pretty amazing. It's definitely going to be a huge improvement over your webcam mic for online meetings, and it also sounds much better than any mic on a gaming headset.
