JLab Talk Go USB Microphone, USB-C Output, Cardioid or Omnidirectional, 96k Sample Rate, 20Hz, 20kHz Frequency Response, Volume Control and Quick Mute, Plug and Play

the mic quality blows away my yetti snowball. the omi vs directional setting can be pretty useful depending what you are doing. the mic monitoring feature works very well with 0 delay at all. the only hiccup in that feature is that windows treats the mic like another speaker output but I think its probably the best way it can be handled without additional software, and if you know your way around windows audio options you can make everything work great.The mic also has a built in foam pop filter that so far seems to have worked great (though admittingly I use it indoors and tend not to sit super close to the mic)Also, I was honestly surprised at how nice the included stand is, in the sense that it seems to be SOLID extruded (maybe?) aluminum, anodized a nice black.

I spend a lot of time on Zoom calls, plus do some podcasts, so I want to make sure my audio is good. This thing has been a great purchase. Solidly built.

This microphone used to be my go-to before I upgraded. It was super easy and simple to use, and sounded great as well. The features it has pair super well with streaming, namely being able to mute on a dime, and it's very versatile. Only needing USB-C to work, I feel like this is the best of the plug-and-play mics that you can get. While not the cream of the crop in terms of sound quality, it still is a good sounding microphone, and definitely top of its class in the sub-$30 or even sub-$50 price range. If you need a microphone on a budget get it. If you have a friend who needs a microphone on a budget, point them to it. It's well worth the money compared to other competitors.

absolutely love this microphone! The sound quality is exceptional, and the ease of connection and setup is a huge plus. It seamlessly integrates with my MacBook Pro, making it a fantastic choice for recording vocals in FL Studio. Moreover, its versatility extends to gaming, as it performs flawlessly on my PS5 during streaming sessions and party chats. A definite thumbs up for its impressive performance across different platforms!

EDIT: Original review below, but I've change it to 5 stars as my previous tests were not good. I re-tested the Mic by doing a screen recording in quicktime and the difference between this Mic and just using my AirPod Pros is fairly significant. It sounds better than the airpods from 18" away (normal video call distance), blows them out of the water at 6" away (great for screen recording), and at 3" away... well, even better than that.I paid $30 for this but I would've gladly paid $60.---I got the Mic for $30 and I think it's a good deal at that price. However, I expected this thing to sound better than my AirPod Pros on video calls but they don't. To be clear, they COULD sound better than my airpods if I spoke directly into them 2" away from the mic, but that's simply not how people take calls.I gave it 4 stars because it's a great deal at $30 and i'll be using it to record things like Product Demos where it isn't odd that I'm close to the mic.

Not having gain control on the microphone makes it substandard for gaming. When I plug my headphones into the microphone there is severe audio distortions making it painful to try to use. The microphone has decent sound quality. The little stand is pretty darn cute. The annoying LED ring is not as blindingly bright as other brands, so I actually count that as more of a positive than a demerit.

Works as well as the professional ones,

I use this to record narration in my YouTube videos. It sounds great! It does tend to pick up background noise pretty well so I always have to make sure the AC isn't running, because if it is, the mic will pick up the sound of the blowing air and it will be in the recording.
