    • Best microphone under 250!
Style: XLR / USB
To put it simply, this might be the best microphone under 250 dollars. I will begin with the features, this mic offers USB and XLR connection along with zero-latency auto monitoring and audio passthrough from your computer. It has has a physical mute switch and two switches on the back to alter the sound. One switch is a mid presence boost and the other is a low cut filter. Next I want to talk about the build quality, this microphone feels excellent and is made of very high quality materials, everything on this mic is either metal or very high quality plastic. Finally the sound produced by this microphone is very very good, I personally use this microphone over USB and have the mid presence boost switch engaged. This microphone has a very warm and deep sound profile that sets it apart from other dynamic microphones, I personally love how this microphone sounds and I would easily choose this over something like the shure mv7 or even the sm7b. I have found that if you want the microphone to sound more like other "podcast" microphones you should enable the low cut filter and mid presence boost, I highly recommend you view the video created by Podcastage in which he reviewed this microphone and compared it to several other microphone in the same category. ... show more

    • Universal microphone for meetings/podcasts
Style: XLR / USB
This mic is very agile and can save you tons of money because of USB. So if you want to have more professional setup you can spend money on audio interface, maybe preamp, xlr cables etc, but if you're not ready for this yet, USB allows you to just plug and play with it. Included items are great, you have usb-c and usb-a cables, pop filter. Physical mute button on the mic is very great feature, and it has two frequencies tune switches on it; it works both with USB and XLR connection. Frequencies are tuned for speech, the sound not so crisp for vocals, but really good for talking. The are only two minor cons: 1. Internal USB preamp is slightly noisier than what you can get from standalone audio interfaces like focusright, native instruments or behringer or more expensive options. It is fixable with noise reduction plugins for recording. When talking in meetings it is impossible to notice when you talk, and many meetings software has built-in noise reduction... 2. Mic is pretty good at capturing sound in front of it, and not catching on sides and back side, however, it easily catches vibrations or bumps, probably because of full metal construction and some internals... so if you have a table stand or table mic arm stand and if you hit the table or touch the arm or pressing keyboard buttons too loud - the mic will catch it. To eliminate it you can use floor stand or be more careful with movements. ... show more

    • Heavy Mic that Sounds Great
Style: XLR / USB
I bought two of these mics for a weekly podcast I was doing with my Mom. We wanted to upgrade and I was looking for a dynamic mic because I didn't want to mess with phantom power and I love the sound quality of dynamic mics. It's surprising how heavy these mics are. They are built with super high quality metal and the sound is excellent. We literally plugged them in straight out of the box 2 minutes before hitting record for an episode. There is not setup. Just plug and go. They are coupled to a Zoom H5 recorder. I don't plan on ever needing to upgrade. The other reason I went with a dynamic mic is to cut out background noise. We have forced air heating that is very loud. When we record the air vent noise never shows up in the recording so there is no post editing needed. These are perfect for podcasting, singing, and doing interviews. Great product for the price! ... show more

    • Amazing mic but…
Style: XLR / USB
Review Image by Israel Israel
The mic itself is perfect! sound quality is amazing as well! sadly the same can’t be said for the physical mute button it has, it fell out a few times before i finally lost it. I will try contacting support to see if I can get a replacement button. if i am able to do so smoothly I will definitely be upping the review to 5 stars. if you don’t care about the physical mute this mic is perfect! ... show more

    • Buy it.
Style: XLR / USB
I've had my fair share of cheap mics, and a couple "cheap" mics; ranging from cheap gaming headsets to a Blue Yeti (the best of the worst). This mic slaps them up and down the schoolyard. It's less than $200, so it's definitely still in the budget range. But for what you pay, this thing kicks ass. It comes with a sturdy, well-constructed device, a solid pop filter, and a USB-C cable. Right off the bat, the fact that you can pick either XLR or USB-C as your connection method is awesome. I don't have to take my interface with me if I want to go mobile! However, it *is* pretty hefty, and my mic arm struggles to keep it up. It manages, but it's crying. However, I have it hooked up to my Scarlett 2i2 v3, and they're a match made in heaven. The Scarlett gives me the basic control I need over the mic, and the gain knob allows me to make up for how quiet the mic's output is. The mic itself has a couple basic tuning options on the rear, but it's better off being tweaked in software, especially for your gain. Even with an interface that can boost output, anyone paying for this mic should already know to tweak in software anyway (whether it's in a DAW, video editing, or streaming live). I think it's a solid value for the price, and after just a few weeks with it, everyone I usually talk to online, be it for gaming or my podcast, have noticed a considerable leap in the quality of my voice online since it arrived. I don't think I'll need another mic for a good, long while. ... show more
