Product Rating











Product Rating I've had it for several months and it's held up pretty well. Seems sturdy enough! The little clip makes it easy to attach to your laptop screen, or to use as a makeshift mic stand on a countertop. Cardioid and Omnidirectional mic pickup patterns for a variety of sound in recording, also has a nice -10db switch for picking up louder sources (like a band rehearsal -- see below!). It's pretty easy to set your levels both on the mic itself and in your computer's control panel and/or recording software. Very, very, very good! Great for recording vocals and guitar in front of a laptop or even as a recording mic for your band rehearsals! I set up my laptop with this mic at our last rehearsal (had to use the -10db switch and set the input recording level very low in the control panel to avoid clipping -- we're a little loud). A friend asked me later if I had used an plug-ins or effects to make it sound so good when he heard the CD later -- "No, man," I told him, "That's what it sounds like on its own!" The notes were clear and easy to hear, not a muddy sound but not thin and lo-fi like a cassette recorder might do. And I didn't have to set up 800 microphones to get a decent sound, either!
