Good but little poor mic sounding and no mute button

I used this microphone for more than 2 years, up until recently as i needed to switch to XLR instead of USB. But for the time i had using this microphone, it was amazing. The fan in the background of my old microphone was gone with this new one. Voice is very clear, and crisp. I'd go as far to say its better than the one i have now. if this was XLR, id still be using it. Reasons not to buy: literally none Reasons to buy: Crisp and clear output, sounds amazing! Plug and play, no special drivers needed! Cheap and affordable! Blocks out mostly all noise, such as mouse movements, or keyboard clacks, and fans. I had no one complain about the quality of my microphone while using this. When i say crystal clear, it really is, And for the price, totally worth it. 10/10 Also I just bought my little brother one of these for his birthday a couple days ago, he loves it. And its mostly because of how crisp it is, and how his friends don't hear his fan or keyboard anymore, lol. Thanks MAONO! I will always be supporting what you lads do, love it!

This is the first USB microphone I’ve ever purchased and I am not at all disappointed with my selection. The stand was incredibly easy to set up and the mic worked seamlessly, totally plug and play. It’s been great for video conferences and recording podcasts. I even had the A/V Specialist at my work listen to me speak during a meeting over Google Hangout and he said it sounded great, miles ahead of the built in mic on my laptop. Long story short, this is a great mic for the price. It’s not studio quality but it’s as close as you can get for the price.

Easy to set up and really good sound quality. Play around with your mic settings if it’s not the best. My sound is so crisp. I find that I don’t even need the sound filter they provide. The arm has a good swing. Although the actual microphone basket is sort of finicky with these weird bands to suspend the mic.

For the price I got what I paid for and I am for the most part satisfied. I upgraded from apple earbuds to this microphone due to my earbuds always eventually dying. I would say the sound of my voice is quite similar between the two, they are very comparable (apple earbuds - $20). The boom arm is convenient but I found that mounting it to the back of the desk is the best option, because if you mount it to the side it gets in the way of my second monitor, but when mounted to the back it is not a nuisance at all. My boom arm does swivel easily/move in ways I don’t want it to when I try to move it closer or to the side or further, etc. but I just have to adjust it a bit more when that happens. I found that the microphone cover accessory muffles my voice too much so I don’t use it. The other circular accessory (I forgot the name) doesn’t change much to sound quality, but I think it is supposed to protect the microphone from your mouths moisture? But for me it is very large and annoys me so I just don’t use that accessory.

I picked up this microphone to improve the audio quality of my recordings, and overall it offers a solid experience for anyone starting to work with digital audio. The setup is very simple thanks to the USB connection, which makes it easy to plug in and start using right away. The included pop filter and adjustable stand are practical additions; once the stand is properly positioned, it feels stable and comfortable to use on a desk. In terms of sound, the quality is noticeably better than basic built-in or low-end microphones. Voices come through clearer and fuller, especially in a controlled environment. However, the improvement is not as significant as I initially expected. Over time, I noticed that it can pick up extra background noises, including keyboard typing, even after adjusting the settings. The microphone feels well built, with materials that seem durable and reliable. The packaging was tidy, and assembly was very straightforward. Overall, this is a good introductory option for users looking to upgrade from basic audio equipment. It provides clear sound and useful features, though there is still some room for refinement in noise isolation and consistency.
