## Description

Product description

Review: If you're looking for a first "nice" mic kit, this is a fantastic buy - I bought this kit in early Jan 2021 so I've had it for just over 2 years. I've used it daily or almost daily for work, remote chats with friends, and general gaming. I've gotten many compliments on the sound quality as well as the looks. The mic is the strongest component in the package (I'm planning to keep using it for many years to come and have no desire to upgrade), and the boom arm is probably the weakest (I'm writing this review now as I come to purchase an upgrade for myself). Microphone: This is by far the nicest microphone I've ever had, and it sounds great to me. The physical mute button was a key feature that I was looking for, and the red/blue feedback to show if the mic is live or not makes it really obvious. I did need to mess with the gain a bit when I first set it up but after I found a happy spot for it I've really been able to just leave it alone. The directionality is also nice because with it I haven't had any issues with the mic picking up my speakers on meetings where I don't really feel like wearing headphones. I love how solid the mic feels. Pop filter and windscreen cap: I don't use either of these with any regularity because I didn't feel I needed them based on how I sounded on playback of some test recordings I'd done. I don't really know what either of these items should be like but as far as I can tell they're both good quality - the windscreen was larger than I expected and the pop filter attaches easily, adjusts well, and stays in place as it should. Shock mount: Holds the mic securely, but it's easy enough to pull the mic out of if you want. Does seem to significantly reduce the sounds from vibrations in the desk. The bungee stuff is still nice and elastic. Stand: IMO this is the weakest component in the set but it's still a good addition to the set. Mine is still going strong despite multiple movements a day across 2 years so it's much sturdier than I expected it to be based on a lot of reviews I read prior to purchasing. It holds the mic right where it position it, and never sags. It was pretty easy to set up and doesn't sag on me even when extended quite far. It has started squeaking on some movements, and I've needed to retighten the thumbscrew at the base as well as the one on the plunger that keeps the stand attached to the desk maybe 3-4 times each across the 2 years. The pad that goes between the top of the desk and the top of the C-bracket that clamps to the desk has detached and left a bit of adhesive on my desk, which is my biggest complaint. Also worth noting that if you mount this on the side of a 72-inch desk you're going to want to sit slightly offset to be speaking into the mic or need a longer stand.
Review: great product - This product delivers exactly what it promises. The quality is solid, it’s easy to use, and it performs reliably. While there’s always a bit of room for improvement, the overall experience is very positive. It offers great value and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something dependable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great affordable mice to start off
*by J***N on December 1, 2021*

Sound quality it's great, installing is easy to follow. My only draw back is the pop filter clamp broke after 2 tires. Its a bummer and there is no proper instructions on how to install that. But besides that the mic itself is great for a start off streamer
