I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

Given that the model is currently difficult to get in stock, I feel it is important to state right off the bat that I am pleased with the acquisition. This is a wonderful alternative to test out if you need it for entry-level streaming or podcasting; however, if you don't require it, then using it merely as a tool for chatting via voice services will be more than sufficient. First things first: The microphone has a metal case that is quite massive in weight, but if you unscrew the nut from below, it is clear that almost most of this weight is contained in this nut; the rest of the case is a tube that appears to be made of aluminum; if you remove it, you can see inside an electronic board on which a chip with the Realtek inscription is clearly visible; the board is fixed on a metal frame, at the end of which there is a USB port and a thread Because the mesh-separator is lined on the inside with a thin layer of black foam rubber, the device can in theory be used even without the wind protection that is included in the package. It is held securely, and it can be mounted in any direction without the risk of it falling out. The spider bracket does a remarkable job of holding the microphone in place, and the spider itself is made of metal. The clip into which the microphone is inserted has a layer of rubber on the inside to ensure that it does not slip out of place. The pantograph looks like it was originally from a lighting lamp because it has holes for the wire, but the USB cable that is given cannot be passed through those holes. The pantograph itself is made of relatively thin metal, and as a result, it is easily bent. However, thanks to the presence of four springs, it is still fixed to an acceptable degree even when extended to its fullest extent. Casting was used for the bracket, which is fastened to the table, and vice versa appears to be a reliable construction method. The spider is held securely in place on the pantograph by a copper nut, which also ensures its dependability.

Pros
  • 1. An all-inclusive delivery service; once I removed it from the packaging, it was ready for immediate use. Included are a windscreen, pop filter, pantograph, microphone, and wire for the microphone. 2. Exceptional sound quality, with a noticeable level of background noise; if used for recording and streaming in OBS, all settings can be customized. Whoever has "noises" is just being crooked about it. 3. A Realtek chip, which may be the reason why there are no issues with the drivers or the sound quality of the microphone. 4. Reliable packaging. You don't need to be concerned about anything getting broken because everything within the box is separated into cells that are composed of foamed polyethylene and foam rubber.
Cons
  • 1. The information that is printed on the packaging is inaccurate; it states that the microphone is a condenser, but in reality, it is an electret. 2. The quality of the pantograph is not particularly satisfying; it is of poor construction and easily bent. 3. The process of mounting the pop filter is cumbersome. 4. The quality of the materials that make up the microphone itself are acceptable, but they have room for improvement. 5. The cable that is attached to the pantograph does not have any specialized fasteners; instead, there are only two tie-downs provided.
