Review on XIAOKOA Desktop USB Microphone for Computer with Mute Button, Volume Control, LED 🎙️ Indicator - Condenser Recording Mic for PS4/PC/Laptop, Zoom Meetings, Streaming, YouTube - Windows/Mac Compatible by Stacey Growe

Like many others, I needed to buy a microphone for my work meetings. So I've been using this one from Xiaokoa for a while because it does what I need. However, this is a fairly basic, no-frills mic. What I like: It's easy to set up, at least on Windows 10. It's really just plug and play, although you may have to fiddle with the volume control to get it where you want it. It's nice to have a flexible neck and I appreciate being able to plug my headphones directly into a mic stand. The sound quality isn't outstanding, but it's not bad either - at least good enough for work meetings. What I don't like: The mute button is actually the power button. So when you use it, the computer's microphone will be muted. It doesn't really work for meetings where there's a lot of back and forth. Instead, I just mute the mic from the PC. Also, there are no markings on the volume knob, so you never know how it's installed. That said, this mic has done its job well so far. If you need something cheap for a desktop setup, this mic might be a good choice. For something more substantial, like podcasts or presentations, you might find something with better sound quality. But for things like group meetings, it works well.
