Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good after a long build up for two people in one room.

My husband and I stream games in the same room so we needed microphones that would alleviate our bad echo problem. We bought two of these and they didn't work very well initially. The sound quality was surprisingly good, but we could still hear each other through each other's mics. After about two hours of tweaking filters and levels in OBS, we were finally able to block 90% of each other's voices! There are still moments where we repeat the echo, but it's not as bad as it used to be. The mics are a bit short and my husband who is very tall has to sit up straight on his desk which makes him very uncomfortable but I don't notice it as I'm short. His mic seems to require that he speaks directly into the mic or he won't pick it up. Mine can pick up my voice from across the room, so there seems to be some inconsistency in mic sensitivity even when adjusting the knob on the mic (as corroborated by other reviews). Overall, this would be great for one person in the room, but expect some serious tweaking when two or more people try to stream.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Something is wrong
