Do not buy it again
So I've been testing the microphone for 3 weeks now.
I have been able to attach it to the cable of my headphones so that it is relatively close to my mouth, but also not too close and not too far away. Actually the ideal distance.
The sticking point with the microphone is that it relies on an external power supply to make a really good sound. => Phantom powering is what sound geeks call it.
If you just connect it to the PC, it is quiet and quickly starts to hum.
If you connect it to an external sound card with phantom power, it makes a really good sound.
Unfortunately, it also picks up a lot of ambient noise.
For 24.90 you could expect a bit more, I think. The note that it needs external power should be added to the description.
I wouldn't buy it again because for a little more money I can get a good headset that doesn't need external power. I will try to exchange it today because the hum is not acceptable.Pro
- relatively good sound
- easy to mount if the cable is thick enough
Contra
- cannot be mounted on a jumper, shirt, T-shirt, etc.
- Needs external power for really good sound
- A lot of ambient noise
Anyone who uses a microphone for not too much for VoIP calls or gaming, and multiple headphones (or shares the PC), it fits perfectly
Everything is perfect. Sound, features, cables, etc. Only the clip for attaching cables to the headphones can be a problem with thinner cables. As a solution, you can attach the thing to your clothing.
Pro
- Good performance/quality offer
- Cable longer than some Bluetooth ranges
- Flawless construction
Contra
- Clip for fastening is not necessarily universal
Big poop
Sound good.
Everything else is just weak!
Simply clamp it to the headphone cable - pfffft...you can't do that! The clamp is too big for normal headphone cables and the mic doesn't hold and holding the mic in your hand or mounting it on a stand is not a solution, I might as well buy a normal mic.Good mic, top voice quality, recording radi...
Good mic, top voice quality, recording radius rather limited, if you connect it to the headphone cable, for example, you are sometimes too quiet, I have now attached the mic to my headphone stand, which I then place directly in front of me. Then it's top.
Received a damaged product
Contra
- - broken
- - once afters with recording the sound was only coming out of one side of the speakers
- - I recommended another one to see..
Works, but audio quality is not so great
The device is easy to use and has a practical design, but the audio quality is not nearly good enough to justify the price.
Also, you have to have the microphone very close to your mouth for others to hear you.
The price/performance ratio is far from right.Pro
- Practical design
- Easy to use
Contra
- Audio quality
- Microphone must be relatively close to the mouth
