MAONO Gaming Microphone with Noise Cancellation, USB Condenser Mic for Streaming, Podcast, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, PC Desktop Computer Mic for PS5, GamerWave DGM20 Pink

This REALLY inexpensive desktop mic ($34.95!) has the features THIS "Oldster" needs and appreciates. The clarity is about as good as it gets, with the mid-tones not being as mushy or tinny as quite a few mics under $50 sometimes sound, IMHO. And I like that it comes in its desktop stand, but also a separate piece for attaching to a boom_ VERY nice touch! :-) Oh, and the mic is suspended with a 4-point shock-cord system!If ya enjoy light shows, this thing has all the primary colors to choose plus some extra, some solid in color while others having a graduation from top-to-bottom two-color effect. You can choose from solid to a sort of pulsing, have it going from color-to-color, OR simply turn it off, and it is VERY simple with the touch of the button!The 'pattern' is very noticeable. When recording wile slowly turning the mic to talk at all the angles, there is a VERY noticeable drop when turning to the back of the mic. The side rejection, while not as significant as the back, is still very good!This is not a mic well suited for table use regarding several people having a meeting around the table. This mic is primarily used for being about 6-to-12 inches from the face. I would think the PERFECT use would be to have each person with this mic in from of their mouths, mounted on a boom arm... VERY directional.The noise-cancelling is really good. I had a loud radio program talk show, easily picked up by the mic, about 14 feet away, with the speaker at about a 45° angle to my front-left. While the radio's audio was not 100% reduced when noise-cancelling enabled, it was VERY much reduced.The ONLY 'con' I have is the large gain control knob at the bottom. It is extremely easy to turn, so you can accidentally nudge it while say moving it around the desk. When I get a chance, I might just put a piece of tape over the knob at the max setting to keep that from happing... I'm lazy, and have no use for the gain being less than max on the mic. And the pop-screen is a nice touch.If you are looking to get a very affordable desk-top microphone with a great sound result, for use directly in front of the face, I really can't think why THIS one shouldn't suit the need.

This is a really good microphone, perfect for streaming or recording. It looks super stylish with cool colors and lighting effects. The build is solid and stable, and it’s very comfortable to use. Definitely happy with this purchase

This microphone delivers excellent sound quality with a professional feel. Easy to set up and perfect for recordings, streaming, or calls. Totally worth it!

Microphone works great. It was recommended for work. The set up was easy and sound quality is good. The different colors are pretty cool as well.

The media could not be loaded. I'm a firm believer that the best things don't break the bank, it's just a matter of research and comparison.This is my second Maono microphone, and I've tested this one out for over three months. I knew I'd be happy with it even before using it, but I never expected to be so head of heels.This is the highest quality desktop mic I've ever had at such an inexpensive price. It captures the clarity of my voice well. It's so clean and clear and crisp. It's got the option for noise cancelling at the top with a long press next to the mute. It works well, especially if your mic is right next to your keyboard like mine, or if you have a fan in the background. I tend to keep it off, but even then it does an incredible job. I love that it's plastic? That may not be a good thing for others, but it's sturdy and lightweight which is just my preference.The aesthetic is great! I got the clear, retro purple 90s aesthetic one. Reminds me of a gamecube! The colors are smooth and not distracting. Super eye candy.The knob at the bottom for gain is easy to turn and I somehow turn it too low sometimes, which is my only gripe, but it's really insignificant to me.Please look into this mic and this brand and DON'T waste your money "high quality gaming mic" brands.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:i bought this mic because the mic on the headset that I'm where isn't really record friendly its kind of sounds bad like im talking out of a trash can. but what im basically trying to say is that if your like me and you need a actual good micthat's not to expensive and and at good quality that i would recommend this MAONO Gaming Microphone.

Works good, was easy to set up, has good sound quality and not a bad price.

The sound quality is 100% ill, best affordable mic you can buy!
