MovoUM700 Computer Condenser USB Gaming Mic with Adjustable Pickup Patterns - Microphone for PC, PS5, Podcasting, Streaming, ASMR

Purchased for 11 year old to use while playing computer games live and communicating with friends playing remotely. Good quality, sturdy.

For a $20 microphone, this is very well built, rivaling models such as the Yeti. The product came well packaged, and when I opened it, the microphone was attached to the stand and ready to go. All I had to do was unpack the USB cable, plug it into my computer, and I was all set.The pattern dial on the back takes a bit of effort to move, which is good so you don't go switching the pattern on accident. I find myself using Cardioid more, but I will switch to Stereo at times.The Mute button is nice. One click to mute, one click to unmute. Simplicity at its finest. The gain dial and the headphone monitoring dial are easy to manipulate.My only con about this microphone, and it is not so heavy that it affects my rating, is that the connection is Micro USB to USB-A. It's not USB-C to USB-A/USB-C like modern connections. However, you could always buy an adapter, so it's not a huge deal. And if the cable breaks, you can just get a new one, since the cable is detachable.If you're looking for a good microphone and you are on a budget, save over $100 for a microphone and grab this. You won't be disappointed.

The microphone does everything it claims to do on the box. It delivers the same quality as more name-brand options at a slightly lower cost, and is built fairly sturdy. What I especially like about it is that it includes a 3.5mm jack on the bottom for real-time monitoring, allowing you to hear everything the mic picks up without any audio delay.The only things I dislike is that the stand doesn't really allow one to adjust it up and down, being that it's fairly tall, and that the connectors protrude out the bottom in a potentially vulnerably way. Still, these are very minor things that do not impact its performance.Do note that this is a condenser mic, not a dynamic mic. It's great for conversation, talking, inside-voice sort of audio levels. For loud recording/broadcasting such as music, you'll want a dynamic mic instead.

If you're still using the microphones built into your webcam you'll be blown away by the improvement in sound quality from this Movo microphone. I'm amazed when I see people on TV being interviewed using their laptop camera and microphone, sounding like they're in a bathroom. This brings the professional studio sound to your computer recordings. I knocked a star off because this still has a micro USB connection (my least favorite) rather than the now-standard USB C. Also, the USB A end of the cable is awkwardly sticky going into and out of the USB ports on my computer...not sure why...maybe the tolerances are a little off. Overall I'm happy with this because of the great sound quality.

I produce podcasts for a company and they recently went to recording through zoom i had everyone involved order the um700 mic. The quality for the price cannot be beat. The sound of the podcasts have improved 10 fold since going to the movo um700. I personally own several movo products and have nothing but good things to say about them.

Great mic for the price, I like the stand

Right out the box it is built very sturdy and functioning. Very simple to setup and has a MUCH better sound than my previous headphones mic I had been using for work. Various settings to find the sound you are looking for. Looks pretty cool sitting on my desk as well.

Great
