Customers are saying

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.

    I use this for voice overs, vocals and dictation. I hace been very pleased. All the ootions work as i hoped. No problem drowning out backround when selected and able to pick up the entire room . I give 5 stars for its price range. The clearest mic with most options under 100 ive found.

    I picked this up for streaming and video editing, and it’s worked great so far! I’ve tried it out with my PC as well as PS5. The only issues I’ve run into were simply because I’m still learning how to tweak the settings to where I need them to be. Since getting that squared away, I’m very pleased with the sound quality. I can’t believe I snagged this on clearance!

    BUYER BEWARE

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    DO NOT BUY THIS MICROPHONE!!! Or if you do, ensure you buy the longest possible warranty. Only used it a couple times before the plastic piece surrounding the headphone jack fell off and can be heard rattling around the hole when it’s shaken. I don’t know how to get it out, let alone fix it. Technically it can still record, but I can’t hear myself while recording anymore, so it’s basically useless. I got it as a gift and my cousin didn’t purchase a warranty. Best Buy says they can’t do anything. I’m glad I didn’t pay for it but my cousin payed $35 for nothing. At least she didn’t pay the $70 original price for 3 uses of a microphone. The microphone is otherwise good, and myself mine is just a fluke, but it’s possible that it’s actually poorly made. Who knows! Going to be contacting Insignia to see if they can do anything for me. If not, I will be warning everyone all the more about their products.

    This has been a nice improvement in my conference calls since my internal laptop pic started picking up a lot of static. With this mic I can listen through my speakers without feedback. I also like having an onboard mute button. Getting it for half price was totally worth it!

    Too early to tell! I've only used it a few times and it's been great in regards to sound quality and firmware upgradable is nice. Using it with Garageband for podcasting and Zoom/Teams virtual meetings. Definitely worth the money paid.

    Definitely impressed by the output on it, it’s my first microphone and I game a lot so I enjoy the quality when streaming, and in discord with friends. Did take some playing with the settings to get it right.

    Its honestly pretty nice. The only problem is that if you connect some headphones on the back and raise the microphone volume, you can start hearing what you say, but other than that its really good and looks awesome

    This microphone is great. Since I got it I have used it extensively for online meetings like webex and Teams. I have never had a complaint on my sound quality, and I have even asked for opinions on my sound quality. Everyone says I sound great. Can’t recommend it enough.
