Review on πŸŽ™οΈ CMTECK XM550 USB Cardioid Microphone for Computer - Ideal for Skype, Zoom, Recording, Gaming, Dictation - Desktop Mic with Tap-to-Mute Sensor, LED Indicator - Compatible with PC, Laptop, Mac by Dru Labrado

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wobbly stand, does not reduce background noise well.

The mic stand is thin at best and because it's so light it's pretty easy to tip over with the mic and pop filter in place unless you have a mic attachment (with a mute button). button) pointing at you, as suggested in another review. The bracket that holds the pop filter is also very thin. Mine popped out of the slot it came in just to try to move it to a new position and it doesn't hold position well at all. You have to set it quite far from where you want it and hope it settles in the right spot. The mute button itself doesn't always work well, and I found I had to hold the bottom of the mic while pressing the mute button to get it to work. Setup is incredibly easy and the sound quality is pretty good? Background noise is reduced less than with the mic that came with my headset, but my own voice is louder and clearer. A decent microphone for the price. I can return it because honestly the detachable headset that came with my headset is better apart from being a bit quieter but if your headset is of poor quality I would recommend it. I rate this mic "the most normal mic in the world" out of 10.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
