Let's get one thing straight - this is not a 'professional' microphone in the sense that a professional trained audio technician would use this on a commercial project. No way.
It's not even semi-pro, I'd say. I have a good quality Blue Yeti USB microphone for my screen recordings.
So, having a £120 microphone, why did I want another, far cheaper one. Because my Yeti is on a boom arm, and setting it up is a thing. And it's heavy if I want to travel with it, and expensive if it gets dinged.
I wanted a cheap, lightweight, but okay microphone and this seemed to fit the bill. And it is all of thoseWith the stand, pop filter and (annoyingly) fixed USB cable it's still very light.
But what is the sound quality like? Well, I was presently surprised. I made two recordings using audacity and popped them into a video editor (because Amazon doesn't upload audio files). Put on headphones and take a listen.
I am no audio engineer, but although the self-noise is more than the Yeti, and the tone not quite as good, this is a very pleasing device for the money. And, with a metal body, plus a plastic stand and shock mount, and a pop filter, it's great value.
