MAONO Gaming USB Microphone, Noise Cancellation Condenser mic with Mute, Gain, Monitoring, Boom Arm for Streaming, Podcast, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, PC, Computer, PS4, PS5, Mac, GamerWave DGM20S

I bought this to upgrade from the headset mic I used while gaming, which didn’t sound good. This microphone sounds much better! It sounds very good, actually. Being able to control the volume and noise cancellation is very nice. The plug-n-play is really convenient, no extra set up required every time you want to use it. I like the light indicator; it’s red when muted, green when on, and blue when on with noise cancellation. The button to mute is a tap on top of the mic, which seems good so that people don’t hear a click when you switch the mic off. (I still have yet to test that.) The RGB lights are a nice touch too. The boom arm was pretty easy to set up, though I struggled a little bit with adjusting the vertical piece of the arm. I’ve never set one up before though, so maybe that was just me. I don’t plan to be adjusting the stand constantly, so I expect it should last well. The only issue I had was with the noise cancellation software - it wouldn’t update and in my attempt to fix it with the recommendations from their website, the microphone stopped working entirely. After trying everything, I contacted support and they sent me a new microphone. They were very polite and helpful. The new mic works great, I can use the noise cancellation without updating the software. Overall, definitely recommend if you’re looking for a not-super-expensive upgrade from a poor quality mic.

Update: The company reached out to me and sent a new arm and base for the microphone. The replacement is much sturdier and no longer comes loose easily. I appreciate how responsive and helpful the company was in resolving the issue—great customer service! Because of this, I’m updating my review from 3 stars to 5 stars. The mic sound is good, though it is made of plastic and feels a bit cheap, but for the price, it’s a great deal.Original Review:This mountable microphone is okay. While the colors are great and the sound quality is decent (people can hear you just fine), the build quality feels cheap and flimsy. It doesn’t feel very sturdy, and I worry it might break easily. The arm for the stand is also an issue—it can slide out easily if moved too much, as it doesn't lock securely into place with the mount. Another downside is the lack of cord management. Unless you use something like zip ties to secure the cord, it’s hard to keep things neat. This might not be ideal for gamers who prefer the "no cord" look.Pros:Great sound quality: The microphone works well for clear audio, and people can hear you clearly.Nice colors: The design is visually appealing with great color options.Cons:Cheap build quality: The microphone feels flimsy and like it could break easily.Not very sturdy: The stand arm slides out easily because it doesn't lock into place securely.No cord management: You’ll need to use something like zip ties to organize the cord, which isn’t ideal for users who prefer a tidy, cord-free setup.Overall, it works fine for basic use, but it could definitely use improvements in durability and cord management.

I've been using this microphone for a couple of weeks now and I think it's very good for its price, that the noise cancellation, mute, and RGB light toggle buttons (the RGB light is perfect) are silent.Installing the microphone was the most practical and easy way to set up. I liked that it has its own software so you can update it whenever it asks. I like that it has a mute light (red), noise cancellation (blue), and a green indicator to indicate when you can talk(green).I recommend this microphone if you want to start with something cheap and quality to upgrade your setup.

Extremely high value for its cost. I have had little to no issues using this for gaming and voice calling my friends, save for the occasional swap to my headphone mic which my friends seem to always notice (usually stating the stand is better)The mount is simple, maybe too simple for how short the cord is, as now with my new setup I'm making, I'll need to get a longer one to make it work, though every other feature of this mic is as good as it needs to be. The sound quality is simple, but fine. I felt no problems moving it around to stay with me as I shifted around my space, it isn't too large or small, fitting my space excellently with the table mount. Good purchase overall.

I mean it's a pretty sweet mic. Cool r.g.b colors quick soft touch mute with a spin knob to control how much my mics receiving. Easy set up. Boom arm helps to attach to my desk quick and easy. Havnt had any problems with this mic. Love how I can use for my p.c as well as my android and still have quality audio. I would recommend this mic if your looking for a value mic with basic needs and setup. But if your looking for something more compatible with all devices maybe consider a different mic as this is not compatible with Xbox.

I purchased this microphone last year, and it's been amazing! The quality is fantastic, especially for the price! It's lightweight, simple to setup, great audio quality... I love it!I did have an issue where it stopped working randomly, for no reason... I contacted the manufacturer, who sent me a replacement free of charge (which is amazing in their end!), but it sadly didn't seem to fix the issue.But, thanks to the customer support team who would NOT give up on trying to assist me through a solution! They suggested going into the deep settings, finding the microphone driver, and deleting it so I can set it up as if it were the first time again. I thought I had done that, but I guess it needed to be done deep in the settings like that, because IT WORKS!So, thanks to Maono customer service for tirelessly working with me to fix this issue, as I love this microphone more than any mic from an expensive headset! It's out of the way, picks up audio VERY well, and is clear as can be!I could not recommend this microphone enough! If you're on a budget below $50, GO FOR IT!
