Reviewed by Eric H. on B&H Photo Video

We had nothing and we needed to start recording audio to overdub on our in-house video productions. We bought this kit in conjunction with the Auray RFMS-580 Reflection Filter Tripod Mic Stand. While I think you can utilize the small desktop stand for the sound reflector, it is quite easy to tip over. The microphone works beautifully with our Macbook Pro and with Adobe Audition CC 2015 and Audacity. I do like that I can plug our mixing headphones into the mic. Very handy and nice.

Great mic at a great price.

While I know USB mics might not be as great quality as XLR's, this USB mic has definitely upped the quality of my narration projects. Great sound quality, and the mic monitoring ability with the headphone jack is great. If you're starting out in the voice acting/narration business and don't have a ton of money for equipment, this is a fantastic middle ground between cheap microphones and high end expensive ones. Love this and would def purchase again.

This is the mic to get if you want clean, crisp voice recording for the low cost. I'm creating animated characters and I needed a better way to get quality recording for my characters. Using the cheap computer mics didn't cut it...

Perfect for anyone just breaking into the professional voice over world, as I am. The AT2020USB Condenser Microphone from Audio-Technica came highly recommended as a cut above lower end usb connection mics because of its absence of electronic distortion. I sound crystal clear. I approve!

I bought this microphone to make training videos for college instructors. I wanted something inexpensive but still produced a quality sound. I am not disappointed. The sound is fantastic, set up is easy and the quality exceeds my expectations. It's heavier than I though but I don't carry it around when using it, it sits on my desk.

Ive had this mic in my classroom for years, still works like new. Ive lent a few out to similar classes and decided to get another for my video class. The mic stand it comes with could be a bit stronger we've had two break in the past but the mic itself is a great build.

For the voiceover artist working from the plug-n-play ground up, this mic is a must! You can optimize it with the shock mounts, pop filters, elongated mic stand, but this is a great piece of equipment all on its own!

This mic really is really something! I've been trying many different USB mics in this price point with some success, but nothing compares to the quality of this one. I can't believe how great it sounds even on Zoom meetings. If you are starting out podcasting and need a basic setup then look no further than this mic.

I bought the AT2020 for commentary in YouTube videos of videogames and It works great. Plugged it in and worked right away. Definitely sounds much better than the regular desktop mic I had before and picks up much less background noise. The main problem for me is putting it in a proper spot because I don't have much space for stands and the like.

This is a really great mic for a beginner and someone who just likes to have fun with garageband (or a similar program). Straight out the box I plugged it into my computer, the program recognized it and asked if it was the mic I wanted to use, and I was good to go! I'm sure for a professional the quality of recording is not top of the line, but it suits me just fine.

Wow.

I use this product for recording singing, live streaming, and recording commentary over video games. I use it with my M-Audio Fast Track. It is a really great microphone for the price. It has an extremely solid build, comes with a nice little leather pouch, and is a very very very clear-sounding microphone.

I bought 9 of these for a podcast project. The Microphone and pop filter are fine. But the microphone stands are AWEFUL! The threading is probably the worst I've every seen on a microphone stand. Unfortunately I HAD to ship these out to clients. I was able to assist the clients to make the stand functional, but it was very very shoddy. I do not recommend this microphone stand/reflection filter.

I sound better than ever!

Great quality product, both fit and finish and sound quality. The included tripod is nice, but for my setup I ended up purchasing a boom. Installation and setup was very easy. I am using it mainly for conferencing while working from home, and it was a massive upgrade in voice quality over my old headset mic.

I'm not sure I (or anyone) would use this for pro-caliber recordings, particularly for music, given both the USB situation and the medium+ quality of the mic. But this is the only mic I've used for quick-but-decent voiceover recording for several years. There is not an easier way to get the characteristic clean sound of a large-diaphragm condenser for computer-based voiceover recording.

Wow! Very nice mic

This is a very nice mic for recording audio right into my computer. I use it mainly to create instructional videos and for Zoom conference calls. I love the warm quality it gives my voice. The pick up pattern is decent and I don't need to have it so hot that it picks up a lot of room noise. I believe it was money well spent.

The microphone and headphone are very well build and have nice quality to it. As the headline mentions the microphone mount is very flimsy and cheaply build, it can barely hold the microphone in mounted position.

I don't use a microphone much but I was using a logitech headset to record, which wasn't working. I saw this and since B&H had such a great discount (and return policy), I figured it was worth a try. I'm not sure how it fairs for professionals but for someone who just does recording for fun or needs a basic microphone with great quality, this is the one.

This is the perfect mic or me. It records My instrument (French Horn) very well right into my laptop or my iPad, I had to get a new cord for that but that was no problem. (USB 2.0 to lightning) no phantom power needed, which means no external power needed, just plug it right into your equipment. A little blue light tells you it's got power.
