USB Microphone, MAONO 192KHZ/24Bit Plug & Play PC Computer Podcast Condenser Cardioid Metal Mic Kit with Professional Sound Chipset for Recording, Gaming, Singing, YouTube (AU-A04)

Very sturdy attachments, springs hold up well, sound quality online is clear and precise.

Got this for the 21 year old tic toc star....and she' loves it. Uses it daily ....nice clear sound and good quality.

I've been doing my research on microphones for use with a new Podcast series that my friend and I want to start as well as some YouTube product review videos. First off, compared with the two previous mics that I had, this thing is amazing for the price and when you consider everything you get with the package it's the best place to start. The stand is sufficient and holds everything very steady and is fully adjustable with some good tensioning knobs to keep it in place. The pop filter fits nicely although I like to just use the wind foam that slides over the mic itself. It's sounds the same and allows me to keep a clearer view of my desk and my monitor. The best part is the sound quality. Is it the best mic out there--no--but with a bit of tuning in your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) you'll be amazed at how good of a recording you can get from this it. I like everything about it so far. One thing to keep in mind is that if you back away too far from the Mic, even with the gain up, your voice is going to sound more ambient. Keeping your face 2-4 inches from the mic produces clear and well detailed audio. The USB option just works perfectly on my Mac, and on my PC--although I use this with GarageBand on my Mac. If you're just starting out and you want all the bells and whistles for recording your voice for well under $100 you can't go wrong with this setup. Enjoy! UPDATE 4/16/2019 - I'll need to strike my comment about the mic being more abient as I pull back, that is a function of the space I'm sitting in. I'm going to add some curtains and sound insulating panels to some the open areas of my new home studio to reduce the echos that the room produces. This is one sensitive mic! Also, something that just blew my mind. I realized that my desk was too deep for the extension arm that came with the mic so I surfed around and realized that Maono also had a mic setup like this with a desktop mic stand (using a weighted base). I reached out to them and asked if I could purchase that stand separately, letting them know how much I loved their mic setup. At first they said that they don't offer the stand separately, but then decided to just mail me the stand free of change. That's right, "FREE OF CHARGE!" I was so blown away by this. Talk about customer service. Don't let the lower price fool you folks, these are good folks and their product is worth serious consideration before you drop a lot more money on something that might be as good or even less. I can't imaging needing something better for podcasting and youtube video production.

Hot for my son. He loved it good quality, easy set up.

The MAONO AU-A04 USB Microphone is an outstanding mic for anyone looking for professional sound quality without breaking the bank. Setup is truly plug-and-play—just connect it to your computer and it’s ready to go, no drivers or complicated steps required. The build quality is excellent, with a sturdy metal body and adjustable stand that feels solid and reliable. The 192kHz/24-bit sound chipset delivers crisp, clear audio with a rich tone, making it perfect for podcasting, recording vocals, streaming, gaming, or YouTube videos. The cardioid pickup pattern does a great job of focusing on your voice while reducing background noise, which gives recordings a clean, studio-like sound. For the price, you get an incredible value with everything included—microphone, stand, shock mount, and pop filter. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced creator, the MAONO AU-A04 is a fantastic choice that easily rivals more expensive microphones. Highly recommended!

Although the sound quality isn't better than a blue yeti, they sound almost the same and the Blue yeti was $100. But this is better since it's cheaper, same sound quality as my previous yeti, and comes with a long arm stand where my yeti just came with a little cup holder of a stand.

A very high quality and well made microphone, it has worked for me for years. I use it every day and never have had any real issue with it.

Note - I used this for YouTube video creation so my experience is colored by that need. Stepping up from cheap USB old style PC mics,a headset or other sub 50$ mic this is like a dream. The included items are of good quality and above the price point value wise in my estimation. If you are only able to get a sub 50$ mic and don't have one with glaring issues already, this is a very good buy. The shock mount is decent, though I could still pick up vibrations through the mic on the desk which I think has more to do with the USB. The boom arm is.. serviceable, it meets the minimum requirements and works, this price point that's what you get. The not so good; 1. The USB cable seems to be a major weak point for this mic. Whether the cable itself is poorly shielded, the coupler to the mic, etc. I am unsure. However, when you have it plugged in if you lightly brush the cable with your hand you can hear this in recording. If you have it coiled and hanging on a desk where the PC resides you will hear the vibrations and hum. 2. Again either the mic build or USB, something isn't quite right so I get, not loud but enough that when your going for a clean setup and have silent parts of a video for example, you can hear crackles and interference on the unit. These are things you won't notice unless you are doing some level of professional or approaching professional recording for a podcast or YouTube or some such. Zoom calls, meetings, using it with a soft phone, even actual streaming this is negligible or not noticable at all and this mic is a perfect point to upgrade from essentially nothing to mostly crisp, clear, very nice sounding audio without breaking the bank.

Satisfeito

It is very good and affordable. Don’t think twice buy it!

Good but little poor mic sounding and no mute button

صراحة يا شباب معايا حاولي شهرين بجد يستاهل كل جنيه دفعته الصوت نقي لكن خلي بالك انه بيلتقط أصوات حتى البعيدة منك لذلك ينصح ب انتهاء التسجيل استخدام برامج لتنقية الصوت ومنها المجانية مثل موقع Adobe podcast المتوفر من خلال الموقع الاكتروني بعديها فعلا بيبقى الصوت ينافس فئات أعلى منو في الفئة السعرية فلو انتى متردد يبقى خدو بدون تفكير لان هو صفقة قوية مقابل السعر وفعلا بيشتغل في التلفون بدون برامج خارجية

really nice sounding audio
