I got the Pink version of this for my wife and she adores it. There are a few issues that you can work around but nothing major. The first is the microphone itself, it has a USB port on the backside where it connects to the arm. It does mean that depending what side you initially turn the mic to, it won't be able to be turned the other way. For most gamers and streamers this won't be an issue but it's worth noting if you do plan on moving it more then 180 degrees left and right, that said it is standard USB-C so you can get a angled USB cable and just replace it and the problem would be solved. The next issue, is more of a preference, we ended up using Velcro straps to secure the USB cable to the arm, itself, and that stopped the sound of the cable being knocked from being added to sound recordings, but you can just use zip ties if you wanted; anything really just to stop the cable from moving and keeping it out of the way.Other than that, it sounds really good. We used the Nvidia broadcast studio and their own noise cancelling software (one click solution) and they both worked as good as each other, a lot better than discords default noise cancelling. On the base there is a rotating dial for mic gain, it works pretty well even for soft spoken people like my wife.The arm isn't overly long, so it's very easy to put away but we have it set up on the side of the desk rather than above or from the back. Your setup might need tweaking if you want the most from it like that.On top you have a couple of buttons, one for mute, one to change the RGB settings. You can cycle the colours by tapping the button, have it smooth cycle for you. It looks very good in low light settings.The mic does like to have sound from the front of it, and the pop filter works but isn't amazing. With the mic gain up, you can still hear some of them but for general chatting it's pretty good. It can be removed if you don't want it at all.Plug and play on Windows 11.Overall, super we're both very happy with it.

I recently got my hands on the MAONO Gaming USB Microphone, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Here’s why it deserves a five-star review:Crystal-Clear Sound Quality: The condenser mic captures my voice with amazing clarity.

It effectively blocks out background noise, so my teammates and audience only hear me—no more distracting keyboard clicks or ambient sounds.Convenient Mute Button: The mute button is super handy during live streams or calls. It’s easy to use, responsive, and lets me quickly cut off audio without any hassle.Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Setting it up was effortless. The USB connection works perfectly on my PC, and there’s no need for complicated software or drivers. Just plug it in and start using it!Sleek Design: It looks fantastic on my desk, with a modern gaming aesthetic. The sturdy build and adjustable stand are perfect for positioning the mic exactly where I need it.

I had the podcast mic kit for about 3 years and it finally died (well the cable did) so I bought thisOnly complaint is the cable needs to be 10ft not 6ft so I had to buy a new cable so I could run it comfortably with slack to avoid any pullages

For the price it's a really good mic! It was easy to put together, easy to set up. Pc recognised it straight away. It's got very good audio quality! It's so handy that it comes with a mic arm and a pop filter! And I like the addition of the RGB light too and the tap to mute!

Great mic so far, really good quality for the cost!
