FIFINE Gaming Streaming Microphone, USB PC Desktop Mic with Controllable RGB, Mute Tap, Monitoring Headphone Jack, Gain Knob for Mac/PS4/PS5, Computer Condenser Mic for Video Podcasting Chatting-A8

I was initially disappointed, but due to lack of knowledge (not microphone functionality). I had the microphone on my desk (where my mini PC also sits). I recorded about 45cm away from the mic and could hear significant background noise and my voice sounded hollow. Then I remembered a Youtube review of a similar mic where the reviewer said that the mic works best close up; so I moved it a lot closer and put some cushions in front to the PC to dampen the ambient noise and, it worked perfectly. I'm very happy with the sounds quality, which is crisp clear and puts a decent amount of bass in the voice. This is going to take hours off my current video production process for the YouTube vids I make. I was making the video with my poor headphone mic, editing the video, then going back and doing a voiceover using my phone by listening to the video's original sound and trying to repeat the words at the same speed, and then I would have to add the new audio to the workflow, edit the levels and deal with balance since the phone only records well from the left side, and also cut the sound in the correct places to match the original edit; what a headache. That was a lot of extra work which could take me 5 hours, sometimes more. Currently working on my next video with this mic and the workflow feels miles better.The recording quality is so good that, using it as the input device when I'm recording the video, means that I can just do the editing and cutting of the video as is, without removing or editing the sound, which is already near perfect; no splitting the sound off from the video or having to do extra editing on it. There was practically no setup involved. I just plugged the mic into the USB port, and after about 30 seconds the mic was recognized.Note: in my case, plugging the USB into the port disables the headphone jacks on the mini PC, but I just plugged the headphone jack into the available 3.5mm socket at the base of the microphone and you get the PC sounds. I assume there are ways around this but the sound quality from the headphone socket is also good, so I'll stick with that method for now.TLDR: I'm very happy with the mic, and this it's very good value for money.

This Mic lightweight with a matte texture, which is super comfortable. It comes supported on a detachable shock mount base.One of the main features is the RGB lighting effects that add a touch of visual flair to this mic. Controlled with a touch button at the back, with 3 colour modes that you can change when you want atmosphere.The pop filter, with a little smiley face, effectively reduces plosive sounds (we often blast air when pronouncing words, and when that air hits the mic, it creates a pop/boom noise).Another great feature is how easily you can mute/unmute! With a touch button on top.At the rear, you find a screw where you can adjust the mics angle and the gain knob to control the volume. You find the USC-C output and headphone jack at the mic's base.Compatible with PCs and game consoles, this mic is a breeze with no need for additional drivers - just plug in and record. The sound quality is good; I'm impressed.

The microphone features easy plug-and-play USB connectivity, making setup straightforward. Its adjustable stand and compact design are convenient for desk setups. However, it might pick up some background noise, and the build quality, while decent, feels slightly less premium. Overall, it's a great entry-level microphone offering good performance for its price.

Easy to use

This is one of the best microphones I’ve used. The features are really easy and you don’t have to mess around with confusing settings which makes it quick. I love the features of the microphone, the changing colours and being able to tap when you want to mute or unmute, it’s easily adjustable too. The sound quality works really well not just for gaming but for streaming or recording content too. The plus side is that it’s a really pretty colour. I really recommend this microphone it’s worth the price!

Great Christmas present for my Grandson.
