Good budget microphone for computers and accessories

Good. Received this little guy yesterday and wasn't thrilled with how Revain delivered it (not PopVoice). It was packed in a factory box, and if someone wanted to steal it, they knew exactly what was in the box. Today I tested it on different subjects. PC, mixer, Canon camera, etc. disassembly. This mic does not have the same sound quality as the PopVoice Lav mics. My blender didn't recognize it when I plugged it in. However, the sound card worked fine and I plugged it directly into the PC. I have a podcast and a YouTube channel, so sound is important. When connected to a PC and wearing headphones, I noticed a hum. If I can hear it, so can my listeners. So this is not a professional quality microphone. Other than that, it worked great when connected to my Canon camera. You can use it on a stand and base, or hold it like a regular microphone when asking interview-style questions and setting up a recording. Now back to base. It is strong enough, but the bottom of the base is on the elongated part. It's pure plastic. It slides all over the table. lol so if you get it. Put a rubber pad on top. I gave 4 stars because I expected PopVoice's mic to work the same as Lav's mics, but as I said, I can't use it in my show. That being said, if you are a gamer, new creator, Skype user or Google Hangouts user then this mic is perfect for you. This is a good budget mic for beginners or those who don't need professional sound.

Pros
