SUDOTACK USB Streaming Podcast PC Microphone, Professional 192kHz/24bit Studio Cardioid Condenser Mic Kit with Sound Card Shock Mount Pop Filter, for Skype Youtuber Karaoke Gaming Recording

Like everyone else in this pandemic, I have or know or have someone in my house who wanted to start a podcast. This was one of the first products that came up upon looking for "Basic USB Microphone". It fits that description exactly. I don't remember exactly what we paid (around $70 I think?) but this is exactly what we needed.It is simple, easy to use, no fancy bells or whistles, and has worked well with our Windows computer so far (simply haven't tried on any other Operating Systems). The USB cord is sufficiently long enough to be able to place the microphone within a comfortable place, even if you can't sit directly at your PC/laptop.This worked without installing any drivers or software or downloads. We plugged it in and our PC immediately recognized it as an audio "input" device. For a few minutes I was worried that nothing actually installed because the software was so automatic and hidden that I didn't even see a "Driver installing..." popup. I simply plugged this in and 5 seconds later it was working and recognized.The sound quality has been amazing. The only issues with our podcast has been our lack of audio editing skills and quality of our computer software. No fault from the microphone there - it's definitely outshining the rest of our amateur set-up.I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great "basic" microphone for doing interviews or if you need to record professional audio. As this is fairly stationary (the base is very sturdy, fairly heavy and will not tip over) I wouldn't think this is very portable or good for gaming. A head-set would be my guess for that purpose. But, if you're going to be sitting at a desk or table and want to record some audio while having your head face the same general area, this microphone works great. There is an "angle" on the microphone instructions which is fairly wide which supports the clearest sound recording. That has worked great so far and very little (if any) background noise has been picked up. Flushing toilets in the next room, barking dogs downstairs, crying toddler down the hallway, none of that has been picked up by the microphone - it does a good job of recording only the audio directed at that "angle" I mentioned a few sentences ago.Although I say "basic" microphone, and I think this is on the "cheaper" side of equipment cost in general, this item is by no means "cheaply made". It is solid, well built, and seems much higher quality than the price point at which we purchased.Side note: There are no buttons on the microphone (recording volume, mute, power on/off are some buttons I've seen on other Mics) but we did not want/need any for our purposes. Just be aware of that when purchasing in case you are looking for that functionality.10/10 microphone, fit our amateur needs exactly, and probably would work for more professional environments as well.

This is a USB microphone. Don't expect a super high quality professional microphone for $52. That out of the way, it is easily worth $100. The microphone is packaged very well for transport or storage when not n use. The desk stand is sturdy and heavy enough to stay in place. The shock mount is decent, but the overall shock system is a bit on the small side and it is tight enough that you can get some carry through vibrations. For me it worked well as I have a fairly quiet environment without a great deal of vibration. The microphone sound reproduction was good and the cardioid pattern worked well to pick up only the sounds that I wanted recorded. As for use in gaming, unless you are close to your desk it is probably not the mounting you want. A clamped on more flexible and maneuverable mount would be better. The microphone itself would work great.The construction is well made. All the components are solid and feel like a quality product. If you need a small desk setup and want a good recording setup. This one is worth the purchase.

I bought this microphone to help me pursue a dream in creating audio books. If you have the money, you should spend up and get a nicer one, but in a pinch, this'll do. Assuming you have the proper set up, you can get some very good quality audio. Unfortunately, a few of my long chapters I have recorded have been tarnished by a rythmic static noise that comes and goes without any explanation. It has only happened to a few of my recordings in the like five months I've owned it, but beware. It might just strike you too. Anyways, this microphone served me well.

I bought this mic because I do YouTube videos and needed something that would give me better sound quality than the webcam mic provided. Not knowing a ton about mics and not wanting to spend hundreds of dollars on a Yeti and all the accessories, I stumbled upon this guy. I gotta say, I'm really impressed with the sound!Being USB powered, it's plug and play, so there isn't much to set up; just plug it in and go. It's a solid little buggar as well and doesn't tip easily. It also doesn't pick up stray sounds, which is nice. My kiddos are usually running around screaming and laughing, the furnace is running (office is in the basement), and I forget to turn off the sound on my phone...nothing. It only picks up sounds directly in front of it, so if you're talking, you're going to be what it picks up.For those looking to get into doing videos, podcasts, or something along those lines, I'd highly recommend you get this mic!

I was pleasantly surprised by the SUDOTACK USB microphone. Setting it up was a breeze, and the audio quality is exceptional. The sound is clear and crisp, perfect for recording podcasts or streaming. The included accessories, like the shock mount and pop filter, are great additions. If you're looking for a budget-friendly microphone with professional-quality sound, this is definitely worth considering.

Bought this to start a podcast and liked the reviews on this one. I love the mic. Works great. I also use this for teaching virtually and I get way less "I can't hear you" comments from my students. I've also used them to record songs for my students. Great mic for what I need it for.

Did not take long to get. very sturdy, Easy to setup on my laptop,I I'm using it to record singing. picks up great, quality seems very good, I would like to have a stand for it so I could stand while using though. maybe look for that next. Would like to have had the ability to plug a head set into the mic for convenience, but those mic's are a little more pricey. I'm very happy with this Mic for the quality and price.

My microphone was damaged & didn't record properly. The sudotack ppl were attentive and sent me a new one. Simple & easy mic setup. Decent quality for the working mic.

Das Mikrofon hat einen guten Klang, sehr klar und um Meilen besser als ein Headset-Mikro.Es funktioniert super für Discord, Voicechat, Zoom oder auch für Aufnahmen/Streams.Die Einrichtung war eZ.Die Pop-Schütze sind beide in Ordnung.Nur würd ich mir ein etwas stärkeres Cardioid-Pattern wünschen, dass Geräusche von der hinteren Seite des Mikrofons abschirmt. Bei (wirkliche sehr) starkem Tastenanschlag hört man die Tastatur sehr.Und vllt ein Mute-Switch.Für um die 50€ wirklich maximal empfehlenswert.

Product arrived safely. However, it came in the original retail box with no other extra "safety" packaging. Luckily, the contents inside were not damaged. Hooked up the microphone using the provided USB connection to my LG 4k HDR monitor, which was connected by usb-c cable to my Dell XPS 13.Everything was auto-installed and worked perfectly fine. Am happy with the purchase and audio quality tested fine. recommended buy.

Product is good. Packaging was good. Only thing is the pop filter is not so stable it keeps falling to right side.Voice quality is good

This product has very poor voice pick up even when speaking up close to the mike. The out come is very poor sound quality playback. Definitely too much hype in the advertising of this product. Took so long to arrive and totally disappointed with the quality. Would return for a refund and not recommend this product to others
