MAONO USB Microphone with Mic Gain, 192Khz/24Bit Podcast PC Computer Condenser Mic for Recording, Gaming, Streaming, Voice Over, YouTube, Twitch, Skype, Compatible with Mac Laptop Desktop, PM461TR

Good mic. Would recomend. Would buy again. USB-A to Digital USB Mic side.If you are like me you want a decent mic but don't want to pay loads for your first dip into the audiophile world, this is going to be one of the top three mics. This mic is probably one of the best you can get for less than £30, especially as it is ready to go, plug and play, as with all USB mics.I came to the conclusion that spending less than £60 and more than £20 got you a mic roughly in the same ballpark of ability and quality, especially for a USB mic where this price point is occupied by the majority of products.I use this mic for Discord and Teams and its OKAY straight of the box, I would 100% reccomend using a processing programme like Voice Meeter Banana to increase the lower end and enable a decibel gate so it does'nt pick up light keyboard taps etc. however background noise will bleed through.The gain dial on the mic body I would'nt touch much, just leave it in a position that gives good clarity and then use software to adjust from there. Touching the mic casing while its broadcasting will cause quite a loud and unpleasant noise, and restricting current with the dial can cause more self noise I found.Build quality is fine, parts are plastic and some aluminium, it's very light but thats to be expected at its price point. I imagine that the majority of the cost of this mic went more into the working components than the outer case. The stand is okay, a mic arm is always better and would see the sound quality and clarity increase quite measurably if you use one. There is no pop shield supplied outside of the mesh of the mic housing, but that would just be another cost that some people don't need, however if you are using a mic stand a pop shield is usually best as the mic is a lot closer to your mouth.

Nice and clear sound and the price won't break the bank. You do have to keep the gain knob at max to be heard though.

After working from home for an over a year, I thought it was time to upgrade my setup. After spending all my money on an ultrawide. I had a limited budget for my microphone. I came across Maono and at first I was extremely cautious of the price of this microphone but I am pleasantly surprised.Before I was using a really low value microphone and the sound quality was abismal. This microphone may feel plasticy but the recording quality is up there with some of the more expensive microphones.It was easy enough to mount to a boom arm so I can quickly access it for work calls. The adjustable gain is great and allows me to get the best output from my recordings. The box itself is well designed. If you were to get this unaware of the price, you'd mistake it for something a lot more up market. It works out of the box on both Mac and Windows which is great as I often switch between the two.Overall fantastic quality at a fraction of the price. Couldn't be happier!

I've been a big fan of Maono microphones.Ever since I've tried out their earlier models, they've always seemed to give good value and sound quality for the price they are.They also come with everything you need to get up and running like a boom arm, pop filter and a Microphone.This product now comes in at a FRACTION of the price that their microphones usually retail for, but has all the decent hardware and sound quality of a much more expensive microphone. It's wild that it is this cheap now. Anyone thinking about getting decent quality audio for their podcast or content creation should honestly look no further.it's easy to set up and has wicked sound quality.I'm very happy with this product and even happier with the price.

the sound is good but it dose pick up a good bit of background noise by it self but if get a pop filter and and a desk stand for it then its good especially for the price

Trying to find a new microphone I thought it was going to take me years because of how many options are there. I told myself "I'll get this one and hope for the best" and luckily it went great. I don't do any sort of professional recording, I only use it for voice chat (gaming, discord, zoom) but it's really really good for that. Everyone kept saying how much the quality improved compared to the previous mic and I installing was as easy as plugging in a cable. Honestly impressed and it doesn't even look bad on my desk!

I was very excited to think I would just plug it into a USB port and it would work but it did not. I tried it on a different laptop which has up-to-date software etc but it still USB damaged/not recognised and I have no technical know-how to try fix it. I have returned it and will update this review regarding how the refund process goes!

For when It did work ii could hear my voice clearly, however the microphone was faulty, so it would produce a constant droning noise with the volume depending on the gain percentage.As I'm not a social person, instead of dropping it off to get it returned and talk to someone I chose to locate the issue, I found the issue, one if the chips was damages and had some brown marks around where I assume was shorting, so I gave it a clean with some iso alc and got the same result, it's a shame because I would have liked to have it working perfectly from out the box. I've brought a new microphone which I hope I will have better luck, however I always seem to draw the short straw on products from amazon, they often seem to have a fault or a defect with the product and I can name at least 3 in the last year alone, I hope this isn't a standard and all amazon products are faulty or damaged (this would make sense as to why its sometimes cheaper, buy the defective ones and sell them for a bit less the rp but still make a profit) I've attached photos of the area of issue, after I had cleaned them, I'm not a qualified tech however I am pretty knowledged in electronics (I hope).

Das Mikrofon ist unfassbar krass für den Preis. Kein Rauschen, leichtes aufbauen mit allem was man braucht. Der einzige negative punkt ist das der Mikrofonarm nicht die beste Qualli hat. aber kann man wirklich gut als lowbudget Mic benutzen.

Très bon produit et très bon prix

I did not like this product.Specifically, because you can not turn off the LEDs.

Sono un profano , rispetto anche al microfono direzionale che monto sulla mia fotocamera è decisamente meglioLa voce e più piena e rotonda , sono molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto e lo consiglio.

Ein Mikrofon für knapp 30 Euro? Was will man da erwarten? Am besten nichts oder zumindest nicht viel; besonders dann nicht, wenn man von einem großen und schweren „Blue Yeti“ kommt. Doch man wird überrascht, denn das hier angebotenen Mikrofon liefert wirklich erstaunliche Ergebnisse.Aber der Reihe nach.Das gezeigte Gerät kommt schnell, bequem und gut verpackt nach Hause. Karton und Inhalt fühlen sich leicht an. Ist das überhaupt etwas drin? Oh ja. Ein Mikrofon, deutlich kleiner, als das so riesige Yeti und ein dazugehöriger Ständer, der irgendwie fast schon winzig wirkt. Beides ist schnell montiert auf und aufgebaut. Nun das mitgelieferte USB-Kabel mit dem Computer verbinden und hoffen, dass das, was da steht, auch halbwegs funktioniert und klingt. Tut es nicht. ES KLINGT RICHTIG GUT. Schon bei halber Lautstärke liefert das Mikrofon erstaunliche Ergebnisse. Kein Rauschen, keine störenden Nebengeräusche, dafür eine glasklare Stimme, sauber und deutlich zu verstehen, angenehm laut. Dreht man den „GAIN-Regler“ weiter auf oder steuert über das Betriebssystem nach, bekommt das Ganze noch einmal deutlich mehr Druck, so dass die Aufnahme echt satt und voll ist. Echt erstaunlich und für das Geld absolut empfehlenswert, besonders dann, wenn man von unterwegs etwas aufnehmen oder berichten, dafür nicht aber ein schweres Mikrofon mitschleppen möchte.Kurzum: Klasse! Voll zufrieden.
