I needed additional one and I did not wanted to spend new higher price of Shure gooseneck that I had bought previously. I am glad I bough this one because sound quality is equal if not better. My only complaint is it says 18" long but when I compared side by side with Shure 18" gooseneck it was longer at least by 2 to 3 inch if not more. So, I am not sure how BOYA measures 18" ? I love the On/Off switch on my model with light indicator; which my Shure does not have. It's an excellent troubleshooting feature to know if mic is getting power or not and the fact that mic is on. I highly recommend this product but make sure to get the correct model, GM18CB There is another model, GM18C; which one of my friend bought and I tried it out and it does not work well. That model had blue color neck just before end of mic. One minor issue I noticed when one specific individual talks there is follow up base hissing sound. Not sure why that is happening. But, same mic another individual uses to lecture and it works perfect. Review: Outstanding podium mic - Simple- Excellent. Wanted an easy to use, flexible, high quality sound mic with a solid base for use on different podiums and the BOYA delivered on all fronts. The condenser mic is one of the very best I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Can't beat it at this price point! I bought and tested several in this price range and this one was hands down the best. It breaks down and stores in its' box easily / nicely. Battery life is good, but be sure to always carry extras! It will not slip off podiums. It has a simple lighted on-off button. I have run with various PA speakers and it works great. I waited to write this review for 6 months and all is still excellent. In fact I think after seeing it in action a number of other people have purchased as well. ## Features - Professional Sound Quality: BY-GM18CB features an excellent cardioid polar pattern that clearly captures the sound in front of the microphone and is designed to provide clear and easy-to-understand voice reproduction for lectures, video conferences, meetings and more - Adjustable Gooseneck Mic: 18 inch bi-fold gooseneck offers more convenience .

The BY-GM18C is powered by XLR 48V Phantom power. **Q: is this Bluetooth?** A: No **Q: Is the on off button supposed to work with AAA? mine isnt lite or turn off.** A: I dint know as i use mine with phatom power from the mixer. I have 2 of these and they work great. **Q: Does this mic have a built-in speaker, or does it need to be paired with another device?** A: these condenser podium mics work really nice, I bought a pair a few months ago and I can't say enough good things about them. that being said, they are very decent condenser mics, that require a phantom power equipped mixer which I have. otherwise without phantom power they work like regular mics that you have to speak right into them being within inches, with phantom power you can be a few feet away it's what they are truly designed for.. they do not come with any speakers built in. Mic to mixer and out to powered speakers , or to an amp then to passive speakers... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as Shure if not better, I definitely recommend it. *by A***I on September 12, 2023* I have used Shure gooseneck mic before.

Wanted an easy to use, flexible, high quality sound mic with a solid base for use on different podiums and the BOYA delivered on all fronts. The condenser mic is one of the very best I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Can't beat it at this price point! I bought and tested several in this price range and this one was hands down the best.

With a little audio processing in the DAW, though, it sounds pretty good. I bought it for a group podcast for the producer mic. The on/off lights gobble up the 48v power from a wireless connection, but hooked up to a regular mixer, it's great. ## Frequently Bought Together - BOYA Desktop Gooseneck Condenser Microphone 18" Podium Microphones with Base LED Indicator XLR Mic for Meetings Video Conferences Streaming Lectures BY-GM18CB - EBXYA XLR Cable 50ft 2 Packs - Premium Balanced Microphone Cable with 3-Pin XLR Male to Female Mic Speaker Cable, Black - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/426601161-boya-desktop-gooseneck-condenser-microphone-18-podium-microphones-with-base](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/426601161-boya-desktop-gooseneck-condenser-microphone-18-podium-microphones-with-base) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
