Great Entry Streamer Mic

This is a great mic. Sound is much better than I expected for the price paid! It comes with a basic stand and a usb-c cable which I would expect at this price point. The sound quality is great for entry streaming. It also has a mute button on the top, which is handy. The cons that I have are occasional breaks in pickup which I haven't determined to be solely the mic's fault, usb-c cable length, and weight. I feel the cable could be slightly longer, but I also don't have a normal desk setup. I combined this mic with a Rode PSA1 while it fits you do need to pick up a shock mount for added weight. Even with that the Rode wants to shoot back up. For now mine stays put, but if they added weights or some how added more weight to the mic it would make it a much better contender in the entry mic market. Especially for streamers looking for a great product at competitive prices.

I recently made the switch from a headset to IEMs and needed a microphone that was easy to use. I purchased this microphone based off of reviews alone and was not disappointed. I enjoy the simple touch pad on top of the microphone to mute and the ability to rotate/pivot the mic. Friends in discord have mentioned how clear my voice sounds compared to my headset mic. For the price, this is a fantastic mic.

Question your need for an external mic

I was excited to try a mic for the purposes of adding narration to videos. Because I wasn't a keen enthusiast and as I did not want to purchase additional hardware, I had limited my search to budget USB mics, and this one fit the bill - and professional reviews indicated this was an acceptable one.
In actual use, however, I found the mic to be no more effective in picking up the nuances of my voice than the array of mics on my laptop or phone. I am terrible at projecting my voice, so I was hoping a dedicated device would better do the job. Alas, not so. Using basic editing tools, you can make your voice sound good with this mic. But the same is true of my laptop mic.
On the plus side, it's quite sturdy in the hand, and the mute button is handy. It also worked out of the box with my Android phone, which is also handy. On the downside, there is no way to monitor your voice as there is no headphone jack.
Perhaps an XLR mic with more sophisticated components would make more of a difference. As it is, I would question your need to get this style of external mic if you've already got a reasonable quality laptop with its own mics.

It’s really good and I like how it is and it sounds good it just picks up keyboard audio if you have a clicky keyboard.

Son wanted a basic microphone for online gaming purposes. Best Buy matched the price of a local retailer, as I prefer to buy at Best Buy. Microphone has worked well our purposes. I didn't need the 'upgrade' microphone features like LED lighting and Stereo recording. Great purchase!

Great bang for buck microphone. The best part of the mic by far is the tap to mute touch on the top of the microphone. Super easy to mute and unmute by touching the mic and the LED indicator blinks when muted and is solid when it is on. The build quality is really solid on the mic and the stand as well. Very happy for the price and the mic is crisp and clear from personal experience and feedback from friends on discord. Also set up is a breeze with this mic no software needed, just handle all the changes in windows settings.

More than I could have expected for a budget mic.
Pros:
-Quality sound
-Cheaper than most
-Feels quality
-Has a mute button
-Comes with stand
-Plug in play with a included UBC to USB-A cable
Cons:
-Was told it can sound "echoey" at times
-Microphone is heaver than the included stand, so it is easy to knock over, a mic arm or other stand is recommended
-Can pick up bumps from desk and keyboard, a shock mount is also recommended
Overall, this is a very good quality product for the price, just throw a mic arm and a shock mount with a pop filter and it solves all of my problems with it

Excellent mic! I got this for my fiancee and her work. I have the other HyperX model and she just needed something more basic. The noise cancellation is superb, the sound clarity is amazing and the small, compact size makes it a great buy. Easy to set up, adjustable angles, and can also be mounted from a microphone arm. If you need a mic for gaming/streaming or work I would definitely recommend this one!

i recently decided to build a new pc after my awful gaming laptop reached the end of its days, and needed a mic because my headset mic needed an adapter. i went to best buy because i needed to buy one before i went out of town and i was deciding between this one and the razer siren mini. i ultimately decided on this great hyperx mic that works well with anything you might want to use it for. discord, xbox game bar, obs, you name it. i definitely recommend you use nvidia broadcast though. overall, this mic is the perfect starter mic and a great mic in general

Never again am I going back to to headset microphones or gaming headphones… this makes your voice clear and perfect, especially on discord. My friends and new people I talk too who have yet to experience a good mic call say Mr. high definition because of clear and real my voice sounds… I’m sitting like 3-4 feet away from my mic on my desk and it sounds like if I’m right next to it…

Microphone feels very solid, sounds great, and looks quite nice next to a gaming computer. Cable is pretty long in case you want to use a boom. Convenient mute button. Very happy with purchase.

I got this mic on sale and it was a steal. Definitely recommend this over a Blue Snowball mic if you're looking for affordable. Plus, the button on top to mute yourself without needing keybinds is chef's kiss. Minus a star cause getting the audio quality right can be difficult if it's not something you're used to.

I have a new desktop computer (was on a laptop for years), so I needed a simple mic for zoom/skype/teams meetings and classes. This mic works perfectly. Very easy set up --just plug the usb connector into a slot in my hard drive, and all works with no issues. I do not do fancy recordings, so am not able to comment on sound quality.

Best Mic for the Best Price

This device is very easy to set up and the sound quality is amazing for the price. Before this, I just used a headset with a small microphone on it. Many people in my voice chats have said it sounds very clear. There is minimal configuration and it is a little flimsy, but I have not had any trouble while handling it.
