Customers say
Customers find the microphone’s sound quality excellent, with crystal clear voice reproduction, and appreciate its effectiveness for various uses including gaming and guitar/violin recording. Moreover, the microphone offers good value for money and effectively reduces noise during meetings. However, durability is a concern as customers report the plastic base breaking easily. Additionally, the pick-up speed receives mixed feedback, with some saying it picks up voices well while others mention it picks up radio frequencies, and the mute button functionality is also mixed, with some appreciating it while others report it getting stuck.

Best Price/Quality I’ve Ever Used!
I’ve tried several mics before including ones attached to headphones and most have varying degrees of quality. I am either unimpressed with the quality despite what kind of deal I got on it, or I’m impressed with it but disappointed in the price point. But if you’re looking for a mic with outstanding quality for how much it retails for then this is definitely a great contender.The mic itself has a fantastic sound quality to the point where when I was talking to a friend over Discord, they found it disconcerting because they thought I was standing right next to them. The stand is sturdy and high quality but only includes one fixed standing angle. The mute button is appreciated but people have told me that they can hear the actual button press being picked up over the recording. It is also fairly small which means I can keep it close to my face without it being obstructive to my view.I managed to snag it on sale for $18 and with a $15 gift card, $3 for a microphone with the quality of a $75 dollar mic is a great deal for anyone.

Great for Gamers
I got this for my son for his gaming computer. He loves it and uses it when he goes live for better sound quality.

Great Mic – But the Stand Broke
This microphone has worked great for me. Unfortunately the weak link appears to me to be the stand. One of the three legs of the stand has broken off – the collar where the leg is inserted broke and continues to crumble. Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be a replacement stand avaible. Going to see if I can find some sort of generic stand that will work.

Nice inexpensive desktop mic for remote work
I have anywhere between 4-10 phone calls every day at work, and frequently record tutorial videos or other audio clips for marketing purposes, so the quality of my audio is pretty important. I’ve gone through a couple headsets with mics, but either had the mic fail or the quality just not live up to my expectations, long-term.I was looking at springing for either a Blue Snowball or Yeti, but decided to start with the Amazon mic here to first make sure that my desk and headphone setup would work with a small desktop mic. I’m pleasantly surprised with the quality of this thing, though, and don’t think I’ll be moving onto a Blue unless this suddenly fails.Pros:- Easily accessible mute button on top- Very light and easy to move when you want to- Rubber tipped legs make it difficult to accidentally knock over- Sound is clear- Long cableCons:- There’s not a lot of flexibility with the legs – you can’t position the mic really higher or lower, it’s just kind of where it is. It might be too low for some folks if you don’t mount it on an arm. I have it on my desktop in front of my keyboard, though, and my natural speaking/sitting distance works well.- The cable isn’t a standard micro USB or USB C cable, so if it’s too long for you (as it was for me) you have to deal with it. This was a weird one – I was planning to swap in a short micro USB cable, because the distance between the mic and my laptop is very short, but I ended up having to cable tie it all together and hide it under a laptop stand.- On that same note, that non-standard cable is REALLY long, so if you AREN’T putting it on an arm, you’re going to be annoyed.All in all, a good purchase and I’m looking forward to using this for many months to come.

Have to keep close to have consistent volume
If I moved away the recording volume changed. Afterwards, I got a Shure, and it eliminated that problem and I was able to talk more normally, without concentrating on keeping my face in the right position relative to the mic. Otherwise, if you’re on more of a budget and it you keep close to it, I thought the quality was ok. Just a newbie with mics though.

Great All-purpose Microphone
I purchased this microphone because I wanted a replacement microphone to my old Turtlebeach microphone headset, and wanted to have a microphone that sat on the desk over one that is worn as a headset. I originally was looking to buy a Blueyetti microphone which all my friends (gamers) recommend for voice-chat, but did not want to spend $100+ dollars at the time.I have found the sound quality and sensitivity of the microphone to be amazing! At the time I purchased this, it was just under ~$30 and I was expecting poor sound quality, but it has been a huge improvement over my old Turtlebeach headset. My friends have also mentioned that I sound clearer and crisper when I speak.The microphone is adjustable within 180 degrees of upward rotation (see pictures). A nice and unexpected feature of it, is that it only uses a USB port from your computer whereas other microphones would require a USB port for power along with a “microphone in” port. It also features a mute button that changes from blue to red for un-muted and muted settings respectively.I gave this product 5 stars because it was relatively cheap and provided higher quality sound than I had expected for its price. It is also very sensitive to my voice (I tend to speak low) so I do not need to raise my voice too loud if others are sleeping to be heard. Overall, it exceeded my expectations!

I ordered this because I am now teaching online and the quality of the microphone on my computer and my headset isn’t great. I read great reviews about this one but was somewhat sceptical because of the reasonable price. It’s lightweight, adjustable and has excellent sound quality. Go for it.

Bought this to replace the lame microphone on the webcam. It’s very compact and VERY light. The desk stand is a little flimsy, but you may well be using a proper boom stand, which it will fit with no problem. For the price paid there are 0 complaints with sound quality – check YouTube reviews for a better idea of this. Unidirectional, so will reduce unwanted noise.There may be better mics, but you’ll have to spend at least twice as much as this for the privilege. For most people in need of a decent mic for online chat, steaming, or gaming, this will do the job very well.

I originally bought the Amazon Basics Desktop Mini Condenser Microphone as a gift for a friend. After hearing how clear it sounded, I was impressed enough to get one for myself—to use when I’m away from home and can’t rely on my usual Blue Yeti setup.For such a small and inexpensive microphone, the sound quality is excellent. In most situations, there’s hardly any noticeable difference between this and the much larger (and pricier) Blue Yeti. Voices come through clearly, with minimal background noise, and it’s perfectly suitable for video calls, recordings, or dictation.It’s compact, easy to set up, and does the job without fuss. A very useful piece of kit to have on hand, whether as a travel option or a daily microphone for basic needs.

1999円の時に購入。ノートPCを閉じてスタンドに立てて利用しているため口元にマイクが欲しくて購入しました。音質はノートPCのマイクを少し良くしたくらいですが（録音して比較した）まあ安いので買ってよかったです。残念な点を書いておきます。・ミュートボタンがマイクの横にあるため、マイクを顔に向けているとボタンが見えず現在の状態（LEDの色）がわからない。・ミュートボタンを押すと「カチッ！」と大きな音が鳴るのでその音がマイクに入る。以上です。

Für gute Tischmikrofone darf man in der Regel viel Geld auf den Tisch legen. Folglich sind billige Mikrofone auch nicht so gut, nicht wahr? Falsch! Das Tischmikrofon von Amazon ist unglaublich gut und das für einen kleinen Preis. Absolute Kaufempfehlung von meiner Seite!Kleiner Hinweis: das Mikrofon nimmt so ziemlich jedes Hintergrundgeräusch auf, das es finden kann. Wer also z. B. nicht möchte, das seine Tastaturgeräusche mitaufgenommen werden, der sollte eine externe Software zur Geräuschunterdrückung verwenden. Ich verwende z. B. die kostenlose Software Nvidia Broadcast. Das kreide ich jedoch nicht dem Mikrofon an, das ist Standard (zumindest in der Preisklasse).
