Mainly used for discord when speaking to friends whilst online gaming and comments i've had back are amazing about the sound quality vs previous mic. Doesn't need any real tweaking to cut out background noise. 10/10 and would recommend for the value over any other mic.
PROS
Nice, sleek and compact design.
Great sound quality. It could obviously be better but it is miles better than my built-in laptop mic. If I don't end up using this for podcasts
I have heard people say you need a pop filter, so I went and bought one but I couldn't tell any difference. Again, this is said an amateur, but I don't think it is necessary for this mic.
Includes a mute button (last photo) - good for livestreamers.
Stand can be folded to become handheld (second photo)
Good length cable, approx 1m
CONS
I feel like the sound gain is quite low, as in it could record louder.
The stand isn't very sturdy. Of course, it stands on its own, but I feel like it could easily knock over.
FINAL OPINION
This product obviously isn't for professionals, but I think this is great for any amateurs or people looking for their first mic but unable to spend a lot. It's amazing quality for the price and I would recommend to people in a similar situation as me.
Please like if you found this helpful! Thank you :)

I have used for zoom calls but I certainly couldn't tell the difference between this and the built in microphone of a Logitech 920 webcam.
There may be better mics, but you'll have to spend at least twice as much as this for the privilege. For most people in need of a decent mic for online chat, steaming, or gaming, this will do the job very well.

Kleiner Hinweis: das Mikrofon nimmt so ziemlich jedes Hintergrundgeräusch auf, das es finden kann. Wer also z. B. nicht möchte, das seine Tastaturgeräusche mitaufgenommen werden, der sollte eine externe Software zur Geräuschunterdrückung verwenden. Ich verwende z. B. die kostenlose Software Nvidia Broadcast. Das kreide ich jedoch nicht dem Mikrofon an, das ist Standard (zumindest in der Preisklasse).
The cons: Background noise, rather low gain below 60%, and the need for a pop filter.
The pros: Everything else. I mean, literally everything else.
I found the mic to work best with string instruments (violin and guitar at least, to be precise). If you'll use it with wind instruments, you'll be better off with something better. To the best of my knowledge, wind instruments are the hardest to record - which is why a lot more is needed to be spent on them (I play harmonica, tinwhistle and flute, with the last being my main instrument). I neither have nor play other instruments, therefore cannot say a word about the rest.
For spoken word, you can't go wrong with this mic. That's for sure. Anyway practically any mic is good enough for that.
Why five stars? Because
1- It's 40$,
2- It works great with guitar and violin, and is acceptable with wind instruments,
3- Is easy to set up and run,
4- It's 40$. Oh, I said it before :/
Get one if you're into "basic" music-recording. You can get a better mic once you'll be making money from it. Believe me, knowledge of Audition is no less important than a good mic for music recording - and unless you know how to edit things, you'll better spend less on hardware and develop yourself in software. Who knows, maybe it's your limited editing capabilities, environment, lack of proper sound-proofing, or such that causes not-so-great records?
Ce micro pour ordinateur est extrêmement efficace ! Je l'ai acheté le mois dernier, je l'utilise pour faire des lives, des vidéos et pour faire des visios. Le rapport qualité prix est présent !
Tout d'abord, au niveau du design, le produit est simple mais très beau. Il possède un bouton de mute qui permet de l'éteindre. Ensuite, il se branche via USB, il est détecté de suite sur toutes vos applications et jeux vidéo. Il possède un mini trépied, qui le rend utilisable de suite sans frais supplémentaire. Ce trépied est dévissable, ce qui vous permet de le visser sur un autre support de votre choix. La qualité sonore est au rendez-vous, le son est clair, sans grésillements, ce qui rend son utilisation agréable pour vous et les gens qui vous écoutes.
Le seul défaut que je lui trouve, c'est que le fil USB fournis est assez petit. Il est utilisable correctement, mais pour votre confort, je vous recommande d'acheter un fil plus grand.
