MAONO Gaming Microphone for PC with Noise Cancellation, USB Condenser Mic for Computer, Mac, Laptop, PS5, Streaming, Podcast, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, GamerWave DGM20 White

This REALLY inexpensive desktop mic ($34.95!) has the features THIS "Oldster" needs and appreciates. The clarity is about as good as it gets, with the mid-tones not being as mushy or tinny as quite a few mics under $50 sometimes sound, IMHO. And I like that it comes in its desktop stand, but also a separate piece for attaching to a boom_ VERY nice touch! :-) Oh, and the mic is suspended with a 4-point shock-cord system!If ya enjoy light shows, this thing has all the primary colors to choose plus some extra, some solid in color while others having a graduation from top-to-bottom two-color effect. You can choose from solid to a sort of pulsing, have it going from color-to-color, OR simply turn it off, and it is VERY simple with the touch of the button!The 'pattern' is very noticeable. When recording wile slowly turning the mic to talk at all the angles, there is a VERY noticeable drop when turning to the back of the mic. The side rejection, while not as significant as the back, is still very good!This is not a mic well suited for table use regarding several people having a meeting around the table. This mic is primarily used for being about 6-to-12 inches from the face. I would think the PERFECT use would be to have each person with this mic in from of their mouths, mounted on a boom arm... VERY directional.The noise-cancelling is really good. I had a loud radio program talk show, easily picked up by the mic, about 14 feet away, with the speaker at about a 45° angle to my front-left. While the radio's audio was not 100% reduced when noise-cancelling enabled, it was VERY much reduced.The ONLY 'con' I have is the large gain control knob at the bottom. It is extremely easy to turn, so you can accidentally nudge it while say moving it around the desk. When I get a chance, I might just put a piece of tape over the knob at the max setting to keep that from happing... I'm lazy, and have no use for the gain being less than max on the mic. And the pop-screen is a nice touch.If you are looking to get a very affordable desk-top microphone with a great sound result, for use directly in front of the face, I really can't think why THIS one shouldn't suit the need.

This is a really good microphone, perfect for streaming or recording. It looks super stylish with cool colors and lighting effects. The build is solid and stable, and it’s very comfortable to use. Definitely happy with this purchase

This microphone delivers excellent sound quality with a professional feel. Easy to set up and perfect for recordings, streaming, or calls. Totally worth it!

My buddies can hear me loud and clear. Unfortunately I got a major humming noise in my headset as soon as I plugged into the headset Jack on the mic. I tried to eliminate another cable for my headset to my PC by using the jack on the mic but now I have to have another cable to my PC. I wish the base was a little heavier so it didn't tip over all of the time. Overall a solid mic for the not so everyday gamer.

Great mic and great price! I was a little skeptical cause it was so cheap but it's honestly a good mic and looks good too.

The media could not be loaded. I'm a firm believer that the best things don't break the bank, it's just a matter of research and comparison.This is my second Maono microphone, and I've tested this one out for over three months. I knew I'd be happy with it even before using it, but I never expected to be so head of heels.This is the highest quality desktop mic I've ever had at such an inexpensive price. It captures the clarity of my voice well. It's so clean and clear and crisp. It's got the option for noise cancelling at the top with a long press next to the mute. It works well, especially if your mic is right next to your keyboard like mine, or if you have a fan in the background. I tend to keep it off, but even then it does an incredible job. I love that it's plastic? That may not be a good thing for others, but it's sturdy and lightweight which is just my preference.The aesthetic is great! I got the clear, retro purple 90s aesthetic one. Reminds me of a gamecube! The colors are smooth and not distracting. Super eye candy.The knob at the bottom for gain is easy to turn and I somehow turn it too low sometimes, which is my only gripe, but it's really insignificant to me.Please look into this mic and this brand and DON'T waste your money "high quality gaming mic" brands.

Haven't even played with it much yet but had to express my excitement. Some youtube reviews I saw said you had to have this mic close to your face for it to work. This is not the case. Just hooked it up and out of the box, at about 18 inches away, it picks up my whispers on the lowest setting. I need to add the software but I can already tell this mic is exactly what I needed. Plugged the mic in to my pc, my IEMs in to the mic and it all immediately worked. Have it chillin next to my monitor and it is out of the way and works great. I love that the volume on the mic is only for mic input and output sound is still controlled from my keyboard as normal, even with IEMs plugged in to the mic. This is a great set up. It's a cool looking unit as well. I see no cons as of yet. Grab one of these and some good, cheap IEMs like Fanmusic TRUTHEAR x Crinacle Zero:RED and you're in business. Better than headphones in higher price ranges.
