    Does what a microphone should do, capture audio, but not much noise cancellation. It’s bulky though.

    I bought this Mic on Octerber 2020 for work. At first it worked great after 3 months people tell me all they hear is static. this is garbage if it breaks down before the 6 month mark. Waste of money!

    Bought this to do a super simple voiceover, figured it’d be better sounding quality than the microphone built in to my MacBook Pro. Quality sounded terrible, the built in mic on my computer ended up being far better. Not worth the purchase.

    It doesn't really pick up your voice very well. Purchased so that my older dad could do talk to text on his computer, and it mishears everything. I'm sure its partly due to the software, but it also seems that the mic isn't great quality.
