Buying such an integrated device is much cheaper than buying it individually. Therefore, the price of this article is unbeatable. I tested it, so I worked from home using my laptop's built-in microphone and started looking for the best solution for my desk, which has been pretty good so far. I really like having it on my desk and it doesn't interfere with the screen. I also had the ability to move it and it was just plug and play and I had my own podcast and I did some videos too. I'm happy with the deal. One of the great things about this mic is that you get everything you need in one package. Not only does it have a microphone, it also has a mount, a pop screen, and a foam-lined filter. I only need to buy one thing and I get everything I want.
