This is a great mic - I bought it so I don't have to use the built in mic or try to overhaul the headset mic when my partner and I are video chatting. It works great just sitting on a desk and has great sound quality. There was also no interference with the sound from the loudspeakers, which were routed via the receiver. The arm is good too, I set it up and it works as expected and the pop up screen is a nice touch too - my current desk needs to be modified to take full advantage of the arm so it just sits on the desk stand for now . .The USB or XLR option is good too and I will eventually switch to XLR as a connector.
