I really like the mic I think it’s smart and stylish and the quality is very good. I haven’t noticed any vibration noises through the legs/feet but you could if you needed use another stand for it. One small feature would have been a mute button. With it muted I could ensure that the mic is silent.

Lo uso para grabarme. La relacin calidad precio es genial y es un buen punto de inicio.
Honestly would recommend this to any streamers who are looking to upgrade from a headset mic! Been using it now for 1.5 years and only had one issue when my cat accidentally half pulled out the usb!
Sounds are pretty decent to the point I was using it for recording voices and sounds for my game!
I’m only using half the features that come with the mic so definitely buy this mic

Firstly don’t waste money getting a pop filter because it looks like it has some sort of filter built in as the sound is a little muffled.
On setting 1 which is how most people will use it i.e. for vlogging, and sound overs the blue microphone is fine, I would say the sound is slightly muffled i.e. could do with more ting to it though I guess one could play around with equalizer settings to up the higher frequencies a little. Apart from the that Blue Mike is good.
The construction is quality, i.e. the base is metal with good sturdy rubber legs, the ball looks good, good size and footprint on the desk so does not get in the way as many mikes do i.e. too talll so block part of the screen, the blue does not do that.
So a good mid range microphone i.e. I paid 50. Just that I would have wanted a slightly more ting to the sound.

This is well built, looks amazing, sounds amazing, plug in and play and stable.
I am a broadcaster on social media and all my audience agree its fantastic sound
Just pure quality, oooozes with value and professional mic for half the price. Don’t hesitate
I bought this specifically to replace the built-in microphone on the laptop for tabletop gaming where players were both present in the room or online via Discord. The microphone picked up all the voices of players present in the room, and there were no complaints from those playing through Discord. There were no reports of feedback from the speakers to the microphone, though we didn't have it on the wider conference room type setting.
Although there will be better, more professional microphones out there for the streaming gamer, this worked perfectly for our needs and would thoroughly recommend for the price and quality.
