Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an affordable USB microphone with no bells and whistles, just plug and play you're ready to go. Out of the box you get the microphone itself, a tiny tripod for your desk, a wind screen and your usual manuals and information cards. The microphone itself has an omni-directional pickup pattern. It doesn't have a mute button or a headphone jack for monitoring, but everything you need to adjust is through the operating system anyway. The build of the microphone is all metal. The cable is also non removable. Its quite thick and pretty lengthy. It isn't braided or anything like that, but it's a good thing because most braided cables I come along usually rub against a surface causing feedback. It sounds really good for voice-overs or just simple calls to make on your computer. It's a lot better than a gaming headset microphone hands down. The wind screen that's included help really well at eliminating plosives or popping. The only gripe is that it may be too sensitive for picking up background noise, but this was eliminated by turning the volume down a little. During my recordings, I had the microphone set to 80% volume. I'm also about 8 inches away from the mic on this desk. I got clear audio without the need for changing any settings I can push it back further for games and I'm still heard clearly. This is nice because I can just put the mic on the side and forget about it but I can still be heard by my friends or teammates. For recording I still recommend to have it closer to your mouth. So in conclusion I think this microphone is really worth the price.
