Customers are enthusiastic about the sound quality and ease of use of the Wired Cardioid & Omnidirectional USB Microphone. Many also appreciate its affordability and compatibility with various devices. However, some users noted that the microphone's sensitivity could be improved, requiring close proximity for optimal voice pickup. Overall, the positive feedback on sound quality and value outweighs the concerns about sensitivity.
First I would like to say that I have never used a mic before so this is my first mic experience. I purchased this so I could read the Bible out loud and record it for my children to have when I’m no longer with them here on earth. my six year old son noticed that this lit up different colors so he thought it would be neat to have. The price point for me was perfect. I wasn’t expecting much at this price point but when I got home I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very solid and heavy device looking far more expensive than it was. I have provided pictures below. To me it sounds wonderful but again I’ve never used a mic before. If you set the volume of the mic to around 10 o’clock you get the perfect calming sound for recording the type of recording I will be doing. You just plug it in and do your thing, it’s that simple. I’m going to put a very short sound clip on a site I am working on for school for anyone who would like to hear what it puts out. (Just excuse my voice as I recently had bronchitis and my voice raspy and still coming back. QJCreative with the usual dot com. Don’t forget to check out the photos and have a blessed day.

I had an Insignia NS-PAUBMD8 for years before it got busted during a move and I had to replace it. I tried numerous other mics (which were awful) and all of them felt cheap and sounded hollow compared to the one I had. I was actually looking to replace it with the same mic but I saw this one and decided to give it a try. It's perfect! It works great for gaming and content creating / recording and is the main mic I use now. It has a nice weight to it and isn't made out of cheap plastic but is some sort of heavier metal. It definitely feels more like a high quality microphone. My desk is right next to a window which is usually open and a box fan blowing in, making lots of noise and picking up sounds from the outside and no one has ever complained about not being able to clearly hear me and you can't hear anything but my voice in recordings. If you're on a budget (or not!) you can't go wrong and you can't get a better mic for under $50!

Good microphone for the price. I've had it for a couple months now. Very good build quality; metal stand and base. Noise suppression could be better, but again it's not an expensive microphone. And the background noise can be resolved with some free software anyways. But the audio quality on the mic is very good. I would definitely recommend this product to those in this price range.
