Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's bullshit and the AT2020USB+ is the way to go

The sound quality of this mic sucks. If you want something with incredible background noise, hiss, and just plain bad experience, go for it. It wasn't a pleasant experience for me or my Twitch viewers. It's been touted as a very good mic and I'm absolutely blown away by how many people love it. I will return it as soon as possible. Save some money and go with Audio-Technica. If you're also looking for a microphone that pairs well with Nvidia Broadcast, this is definitely not the one. After 30 seconds of silence with noise cancellation turned on at max, it just starts picking up background noise, making for a terrible listening experience for Twitch and also for anyone trying to be a perfectionist.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • No power
