Questionable reviews, defective product

Before I talk about the review of my product, I would like to point out that there is something very questionable going on in the reviews. The top review that reads "Sound is good, no noise" (by Peterking) is an obviously stolen review. This is clearly visible in the sped up audio (also included in another top review and the only other video review) and (once you see the real review from a real reviewer) you'll notice that they cut certain bits out of the video as well . . Not to mention the unusual fact that both videos don't actually switch to microphone sound, but play it from their laptops instead (which then distorts the audio, depending on how good the laptop's speakers are). So, two of their best reviews, and the only two reviews with videos, both fake. Same naming format (two simple lowercase letters glued together) and both only count as cheap Chinese tech (not to mention it's the only product Peterking has reviewed). It is clear that this is not a "coincidence", but too many coincident events. As for the microphone itself, it's pretty good quality. Definitely not the best of the four I have, but certainly not bad quality. Pretty decent noise cancellation too, again not the best but not bad either. However, the product could only be used for about a week before something went bad. My kid decided it would be nice to be able to shout into the mic next to him (I bought it for him) but the mic couldn't take it and just broke.

Pros
  • Microphones and accessories
Cons
  • Not sure
