    Clear voice and well built.

    Really nice USB mic. Came with a type C USB cable. The mic itself has heft to it and can sit just over a gaming table (its how I have it) and has a soft bottom and doesn't slip away. It does support a 3/8 and 5/8 thread size at the bottom so it can be mounted on a mic arm (per their leaflet quick guide, better with the top facing down), but its not needed. The mic itself can tilt a bit so you can tweak the angle of how it you speak to it. Its super easy to use, just plug and play and will show as a USB mic on windows (and does Hi-Res audio 24 bit 96khz), however if you install Hyperx's Ngenuity software (they have two versions, the standard and the beta, this one uses their beta one) you can unlock more features like filters and compressors. Its super easy to use and I love the feature to just tap the top to mute it, no pressing any buttons or flipping any mics, simple as that. There is a red status light at front that glows red when working and off when the mic is muted. I was using the mic on my headset (those flip up to mute types) and I though it was good, boy, how wrong was I. After listening to recordings using these one, the upgrade in voice clarity is noticeable. My friends on discord also could tell the difference. I did not tell them I was using this mic, and they were saying "noo there is something different, I can hear you way clearer and natural", I finally told them I got this mic, then it made sense to them. I think they are going to upgrade too, I recommended them this guy, for the price, it is a significant upgrade over those little mic capsules included on gaming headsets!
