Great little mic for the money. It wasn’t a major improvement over my MacBook’s internal mic, but for the price and form factor it was a welcome addition to my desk.

High quality mic for a great price. I needed to buy 4 for work. I like the footprint and size better than the mini Yeti since these are easier to pack but they are heavier. Simple set up, the magnetic base is a bit funky to position the first time you use it but after that it's super simple.

I can't say enough good things about this mic. I'm not all that familiar with podcasts, and I'm not a singer or anything. I bought this for an interview with the stunt performer Richard Cetrone. I told him about it and he bought one, too, since he does a lot of interviews for fans. It's crisp, clear, no feedback, no static, doesn't pick up on background noises, works perfectly well with my Mac, Quicktime, YouTube, Discord, and so simple to use. Plus, it looks great!

This is a great mic. Quite hefty for the size and folks have said that I sound like a radio host. USB C connection is great and everything worked right out of the box. It has a built in pop filter which helps keep the mic nice and small.

Excellent mic. It's used for everything from online meetings to recording webinars and podcasts. super easy to use and simple. Plugs right into my M1 MacBook Air with no issues in any app I've used.

If you’re between this and some other mic within this price range, stop searching. Buy this one. I was afraid this wouldn’t be the same top notch quality I’m used to from RODE due to this being their cheapest microphone, but man was I wrong. This thing feels, looks, and sounds way more expensive than it is. It honestly has no business being as nice as it is for how affordable it is. Plus, the built in pop filter is a huge bonus and it really truly works. Stop searching. Buy this mic.

My son, a very talkative gamer had a mic that died. That mic was expensive and create a cable and setup mess. This mic just used a usb-c for a clean setup and is fantastic for voice chat. Build quality is great and I have no worry that some plastic part will break as everything important is a nice quality metal. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting a dedicated mic.

I need a mic to start a podcast, and this met my expectation. Easy to use and sound quality is great to me as a beginner! Program is easy to use for me, as i am a beginner in the podcast world

Great sound, small footprint, easy to connect and use.

Has good audio quality and is relatively small in size, which makes it easy to transport.

Love this mic. Great price. I love the compact size. BEWARE of one thing. The mic stand is magnetic. DO NOT place this on top of a laptop. I placed this on top of my laptop which was right over the hard drive. It destroyed it and I had to replace the hard drive. It was my fault but i just want to make people aware of this.

After going through 4 microphones from companies like razer, hyperx and fifine, this is probably my favourite one as it is very compact while maintaining a very high sound quality. The build quality is superb and you can really notice the heft the microphone has to it. The only downside is that on setup it is a bit quiet and i would reccomend tuning the microphone with some equalizer program. Even though the mount is magnetic it probably wont ever fall off unless you purposely remove it. The connector is usb-c and not micro-b so it is more durable (in my opinion, my last microphone broke because of the connector). If you can spare some extra money for this microphone, it is a good deal.

While this mic is terrific in terms of quality, not having the ability to mute the mic when you don’t need it, you’ll hear every sound it picks up like your keyboard. That makes it difficult to enjoy music from your computer. You will hear your hiss and the keyboard and your music at the same time. If you don’t intend to use the auxiliary port through this mic, this is a terrific mic. It has a small profile and picks up your voice perfectly.

Excellent mic, people on calls with me compliment the audio quality a lot. Its really simple to use and easy to setup.

This microphone is a great choice to improve audio quality for video meetings or podcasts. Compact size, easy to use, excellent sound quality!

I really like most of the things with this mic but I dont like that it doesn't have a true gain knob and the sound comes out pretty weak even with adjustments at times but it does a solid job of blocking out background noises and pop sounds with a pop filter or a sock. Having used a lot of usb mics this one is ip there among the better ones I've tried.

Great microphone and value for the price!!! Good for everyday task (ie. Zoom meetings, etc.) as well as podcasts or things of that nature.

Bought it for mt wife to podcast she lovea it.super portable and its a rode.
