  • Tap to mute alone is worth getting this

    Really great mic. The tap to mute more useful than anticipated. Really debated whether this higher model was worth it, but the tap to mute alone is worth the higher price.

    Excellent usb based mic. Highly recommend. The voice quality is great. The software makes it perform in a very flexible manner which makes it step a class above its price point.

    The software is awesome, but could add more features. Feature wise, the ability to adjust gain sound and the mix of both is very very nice. I do wish that the usb-c cable was angled so it wouldn't bump into the stand, this is a personal gripe. Overall great quality.

    Very solid microphone, however the software is a little clunky, definitely not for someone who does not know how to use computers.
