## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid sound!
*by T***. on September 5, 2025*

I purchased this mic while training to teach classes at my gym. Satisfied with the product!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for speech recognition, most voice communication type applications, but requires care in connecting to a device
*by R***I on March 26, 2018*

This microphone is performing very well for Dragon speech recognition software. One tricky part is being a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphones do not require a bias, do not include an amplifier inside, and produce small amplitude signals. Majority of consumer electronic products have a microphone input that expects an electric condenser microphone, which includes a tiny preamp built into the microphone capsule and produces 10 to 50 times larger amplitude signals compared to this product. So, if you just buy this microphone and plug into whatever equipment you have without paying attention, you may be disappointed. But if your equipment is designed to work well with a dynamic microphone, you will be very happy.Regarding sound quality, compared within the class of dynamic microphones, the voice lacks the warm quality of a vocal microphone, which uses a larger diaphragm and is not as sharply directional. You might want to use an equalizer to adjust the sound quality to your taste; a flat output from this microphone is thinner than what people expect from an excellent vocal microphone.One reason to use a dynamic microphone for speech recognition, podcast, voiceover, and other speech communication applications, in spite that most electronic devices expect an electric condenser microphone, is much better suppression of the ambient noise. In particular, this hyper cardioid microphone is sharply directive in its sensitivity. I am very happy with this aspect of this microphone for my application.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good mic, a bit awkward design.
*by J***. on January 12, 2025*

The microphone itself a quality hypercardioid (highly directional) passive (does not require power) mic. It's essentially the same thing as the wand type mics you see singers use all the time. However, it's not the most comfortable. Having a band pressed against your temples is not ideal anyway, but the foam pads are thin, and it's not quite big enough for my melon. Either the band is too narrow and/or the mic stem is too short because it's impossible to place the mic directly in front of my mouth. If the mic is hot enough, it doesn't really matter, but the chance of it feeding back then increases. Overall, for ~$100 it's a good buy that has lasted me 5 years and many gigs (I'm a drummer, btw) so it's durable and reliable.
