The delivery was fast and I was happily surprised. I plugged the mic on my windows laptop it worked. I was afraid that it might not work with my linux laptop that I use to make my video conferences for my work since I now work from home because of the covid19. But to my amazement as soon as I plugged it it work. I didn't need to install any app or to use the terminal to sudo apt get anything to make it work.

I bought this to help with online communication with more than one person participating at the home screen, and it works fine when an external speaker can be used at the same time. The problem is that plugging the microphone in (either the socket or the USB port) automatically switches the audio to that port, so any speaker sound is potentially lost. To overcome this an external speaker needs to be plugged into the USB port. Fortunately I had one of those already, and the setup works well.

I bought this a month ago, hoping to be able to use it as a mircrophone during a powerpoint presentation. Unfortunately it would not connect to my PC. I tried downloading software to get it to work but it just didn't connect. I gave it to my son for his PS5 and he wasn't that impressed with it either, saying he gets just as good sound through his machine so it's been 'abandoned'. Prior to purchasing, I asked for some advice at the counter and staff thought it should work for my purpose but I appreciate they didn't really know for sure. When I asked if I could return it if it didn't work, they said only if it was in the same condition as new, including the packaging. Obviously I needed to open it and plug it in to see if it worked and so I wasn't able to return it. A waste of money. ... More

This microphone is exactly what I needed to finish my home office set up! I tested it on video calls over number of types of software, as well as making audio recordings for my daughter’s GCSE Drama work. The sound is clear and crisp, the tripod supplied provided adequate support with no slippage. The set up was simple, my laptop has 3.5mm ports for both headphones and microphone, but a usb adapter was supplied for users with only one port. Great product, especially for occasional users like me!

Works well and captures sound from a decent distance. Sound quality isn’t going to be studio standard and isn’t crystal clear but it’s good enough as a starter mic for Vlogging, podcasting or creating content for YouTube etc. Would also work well as a mic for video calls etc Good value for money, sturdy construction (although quite lightweight), only marked down for sound quality. Overall performance is good.

A good starter microphone

Purchased this so my Son can stream online. It’s good as a started microphone which fits nicely onto the side of his gaming desk. Comes with a USB adapter as well as a 3.5mm jack for varied connections. One point to make is that there fitting to a PS4 Is a bit tricky, due to the size of a to socket on the console.

Seems like a reasonable microphone. I have only had it two weeks so cannot comment on the durability of the product. It works well for what i use it for. Wire could have been a little longer, but thats just a personal thing.

Great microphone for the price, very easy to set up and get working. It is a little on the quite side but couple this with the windows boost function then it works great. I was wary given other reviews of it being too quite but, as I said above, using the windows boost sorts this problem out without issue

Great sound in a small package. This mic is compact and portable, great space saver or on the move. Perfect for online conference calls or gaming. Has 3.5mm or USB connection. 3.5mm gave better sound on my laptop, which has awful sound on its own and needs a mic to pick up my voice for calls. This worked perfectly. Adjustable tripod allows best reach and great 1,80m cable reach. Easy plug in and go!

Bought for xbox one, works great and stable, plug and play.. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a splitter cable for the xbox pad and headset.. I would defo buy again as its cheaper than buying multiple mics for my headset.

We bought this micro USB microphone for our daughter to attend her college's Zoom classes, as the microphone in her computer wasn't working and would be much more expensive to repair it. It's very easy to use and she loves the function that writes what you speak on the microphone. We are very pleased with our purchase!

The microphone quality is okay but it definitely looks more professional than it sounds. It is easy to pack away and store as it folds up neatly. The design is nice and I would recommend this mic to anyone who wants a cheap standalone mic for simple video calls or gaming comms but would not recommend this mic for people who want to create more professional content.

I bought this based on the good reviews, but they must have bought a different microphone to me! It is ridiculously quiet and has no volume or gain buttons. Windows has a boost option but it depends on the software of the microphone and this doesn't have the software, so there is absolutely no way of making the sound louder. No-one could hear me in my Zoom meeting. I sent it back and bought a Logitech Blue Yeti instead which is superb if much more expensive. You get what you pay for.
