Best Small Format USB Mic Out There!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.I went to this mic from a Hyper X Quadcast (Gen 1) mic. Reason being is I wanted my mic to stand out less on my desk and give me more space by getting rid of my boom. It is an odd choice to sum but I haven't missed it at all! Also, Rotate the mic 90 degrees as I have it pictured! *You will want to rotate your mic 90 degrees as I have shown in my photo. Reason being is for some weird reason it will pick up keyboard presses as light audible taps through your desk if you don't have it on a boom.. Through some kind of sorcery (or science) rotating it gets rid of this completely!* Pros: - Compact - Great Sound (Friends said they could not tell the difference from my Quadcast to this *take that how you may lol*) - USB-C - Tap to Mute - Plug & Play Cons: - None that come to mind...

Great mic
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.So far so good. It’s easy to plug into my laptop and I can mute on the top of the mic. I use it to stream on twitch and my friends say I sound like a podcaster.

Really high quality mic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Really high quality sounding mic! Only issue is it picks up keyboards and vibrations on the desk, etc.. I would suggest using a boom arm with it but other than that it’s great!

Q: QuestionDoes this have volume/gain controls?
Asked by bigB.
- A:Answer No. Not on the mic itself. It’s pretty much just a plug and play. It picks up a lot of background noise. I started streaming and got this. Had to get a dif mic that did have the gain control right on it. Though there are computer programs you can download to adjust settings for a microphone.

Q: QuestionWhat is the diameter of the mic? I’m trying to find a shock mount to use with the boom arm.
Asked by Adam.
- A:Answer I got a 43mm to 46mm one and it barely fits.

Q: QuestionWill it work on xbox
Asked by Ississososoosssosooss.
- A:Answer This mic is operated via a USB plug; however, xbox one does not allow support for most USB microphones. The port on the Xbox is not one that provides input/output but just power. It can be utilized via a PC operating xbox on windows, but not the console itself

Q: Questioni have a c615 logitech hd webcam on my pc can i install this and would the mic take precedence over the c615 existing mic
Asked by ray.
- A:Answer It very easily could yes. You would go into your settings, click on devices, then on the right side it would say related settings, you would click on sound settings and choose the input device to be the microphone of your choice. Output - what you hear. Input - what they hear. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionDoes this microphone pick up background noise? And does it need a windscreen or microphone wind muff?
Asked by Lyd.
- A:Answer It picks up a pretty good amount of background noise but if you're using an app like discord with a noise suppression setting, it works really good.
Answered by PattyM
Q: QuestionWhat is the power source? Is this powered by USB, 110, or batteries. Microphones are plugged in and thus make zero sense to use additional batteries.
Asked by Bad.
- A:Answer It's USB powered, but the one I got didn't work so I don't know anything else...
Answered by Birdie
Q: QuestionWhile streaming does it pick up keyboard audio and background noise like a fan?
Asked by Cameron.
- A:Answer I haven't experienced problems with fans but the mic will pick up keyboard clicks if close enough. Perhaps installing a noise reduction software will help with that.
