I've never felt the need to write reviews.

until I tried this microphone. I've seen my share of bad mics but this one is the best. Although the microphone has a long cable and different types of connectors, including 3.5mm, USB and USB-C, the sound quality is so terrible that all positive aspects of this microphone become completely inactive. There is no gain control. it's EXTREMELY hot with this mic and the default setting. Regardless of where the mic is in relation to your mouth, the audio will be severely distorted - too distorted to be used on any type of media, professional or amateur. Your audio will always, ALWAYS sound like it's been clipped. Not to mention the constant buzz going on in the background. At least the hum can be treated with an equalizer. There's nothing you can do about the horrible clipping that occurs when using this mic at ANY volume or position. A better (or only halfway usable) sound can only be achieved with this microphone. is to throw it away and buy another mic. Any other microphone is an improvement. I have mics that are cheaper than this but they work much better. I really hope this review will not be forgotten as this mic is a total waste of money. Do better Zaffiro.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
