The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

This microphone is suitable for high-quality recording of literally everything, including studio-quality vocals. It is rightly said that for this money (in my case, also with a discount due to thanks bonuses), you will hardly find a microphone with such sound recording quality.

Pros
  • The sound is extremely high quality! To clearly demonstrate, I recorded a sample - I will leave a link, you can listen.
Cons
  • Honestly, there aren't any.

I'm not particularly happy, but basically everything is fine.

In general, for this price tag of assets, a microphone with excellent sounding. But due to a gnawed wire and a damaged box, there is a slight sediment. I advise you to buy!

Pros
  • good sound Easy to install Price
Cons
  • Stand is very flimsy Box with defects The wire looks like it's been chewed by a mouse. Pop filter mount won't screw in

Works on Mac, good for computers and accessories

The kit has everything I need to start my projects. The metal arm is solid and swivelling, the microphone doesn't vibrate and picks up my voice clearly. Beware of high ceilings, they cause echoes in the recordings, which is a personal issue, not the mic. It matched my kitchen island perfectly and stayed there all weekend. The USB interface was also good. Would buy again

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Gotchas

BEST USB Microphone Kit UNDER $100

You get great value for money with this device. The Blue Snowball and FiFine T-669 don't have a mute button, and the Blue Yeti doesn't have a stem, shock, or pop filter. What this mic lacks in features it makes up for in accessories. I've watched a number of videos comparing the sound between this and the Blue Yeti and I agree with the reviewers. It's very close and I wouldn't be able to tell the difference unless you tell me. It also looks like an Audio Technica AT-2020, very nice and…

  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Bothers me

Great entry-level mic for a YouTube channel

The PM421 is a great budget mic for little bulbs or people starting out in content creation. This mic sounds great, way better than what I expected at this price point. It also includes almost every microphone accessory you'll need, making it the perfect option for those just starting out and want good sound quality without breaking the bank. Setting up the microphone doesn't take long and is basically plug and play. Overall, it's definitely worth it and is a great investment in becoming a…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Update available

Can't ask for more

Pros: Everything looks and works, be careful with the hardware as it's pretty basic) but for the price I don't think it's easy to beat, gain- Controllers work well, Mute One Touch works well and everything looks great when set up correctly. I plugged it in and it worked seamlessly with all programs (Audacity, Ableton, Discord and OBS). I recommend, it has everything I was looking for, easy setup, great looks and a good price.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Poor set

The mount broke in less than a week.

The rest of the microphone is very good. But the lack of a functional pivot arm for attachment is a problem; That was one of the reasons I decided to do it in the first place. The microphone itself is cardioid and works very well. I didn't have a problem with people saying "you sound dull" or "shit we can't hear you" or something like that - someone even mentioned that I was crystal clear. I also really like the gain and mute button on the microphone with the colored LED - very nice. But…

  • Done

Amazing microphone for audio and video accessories

TLDR; Great entry-level mic I used the Arctis 5 for gaming and it was fine until the jack in the headset started to fail. I upgraded to Arctis 7 and the mic quality is much better. However, Steelseries headphone mics don't last more than a year. I started streaming on Twitch and was dying to stop sounding like I was sinking my mic in the toilet. I have no regrets switching and buying this Moano AU-PM421 and it sounds crystal clear. It's easy to set up, the quality is great, and the fact that I…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Exchange available

I've had this mic for a few months now and it's working perfectly so far. I only use it for my online classes and family on Zoom but everyone says I sound great compared to others. I bought this mic because I needed it and instead of spending $20 on a cheap regular mic I figured I could get something nicer for a little more money and I'm glad I did. As a teenager I dabbled in making beats on my computer but never really took it seriously, but I didn't have the hardware either. I recently…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

So close to 5 stars.

Before you start wondering why I didn't give that 5 stars, let's get to the bottom of it quickly: PROS: Fantastic sound quality CONS: Some minor design flaws Were it not for the flaws mentioned below, they would be a six star mic of exceptional value. (Yes, I said six stars!) I looked at many mic reviews before deciding on this one. And every reviewer who has covered the MAONO AU-PM421 has been amazed by its quality. In my opinion, they are actually undersold. This mic excels in clarity and…

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list is getting long.

Perfect for recording instructional videos with Camtasia

I tested several different microphones for recording instructional videos. Needless to say I'm new to audio but did some research and comparison to make sure I got the right product. Easy Installation - Everything was neatly packaged and easy to set up without even looking at the instructions. ARM - This was easy to set up and easy to clip to my desk. Feathers tend to make a lot of noise when they move. Not ideal as the mic picks it up as you pick up and move. The material of the handle is…

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
