This is an excellent microphone for the price. Plugged usb into my laptop, connected my headphones into the microphone unit itself to monitor the volume, adjusted the gain on my sound mixer software, and I was in business. I am using it for podcasting and mounted it on a mic arm to keep it off the desk. Knocks back my plosives well. Best mic I've had in this price range (and dearer). Simple, and does what it says on the box. This is an excellent microphone for the price.

Absolutely recommended if you don't wish to buy in to an external audio interface, this has one built-in, the mic as input and headphone jack as output, removes hum and other analog interference.
Feels weighty and every inch a professional mic.
The sound quality is outstanding, the pop filter did a great job, even when trying to defeat the pop filter I couldn't easily discern plosives.
Directional, doesn't pick up room noise, although the gain seemed a little low - easily adjusted for in software.

I needed a mic for 2024 so I did a TONNE of research and decided on this mic, and purchased it from PB because they had the best price on it.

In short, this mic is exactly what I thought it would be based on the research I did. I don't think you can get better quality audio for a USB mic at this price - at least at the time of this review (Feb 2024).
I would recommend the YouTube review of this product by the channel 'Podcastage'; if you want it for streaming lookup 'Senpai Gaming'/Harris Heller's review(s). I feel they both accurately represented this product as well as gave me a clear understanding of competing products at similar and ...view more I needed a mic for 2024 so I did a TONNE of research and decided on this mic, and purchased it from PB because they had the best price on it.

I feel they both accurately represented this product as well as gave me a clear understanding of competing products at similar and more expensive prices - enabling me to make an informed decision. Because of that, I have no buyer's remorse after getting this product.

I've also used it for Zoom calls (with nvidia broadcast for background noise cancellation) with the mic like 40cm+ from my mouth and it was just fine (Zoom automatic mic gain was on).

I like the 3.5mm headphone jack for live monitoring. Not all mics have this feature.
Plugging into this jack DOES let you hear all the normal computer audio too. So unless you have an external DAC that you'd rather use, then you can just leave your headphones plugged into the mic (if your headset uses 3.5mm connectors) And you can just toggle your own voice on/off easily.

The 'Rode Connect' software makes this very much a viable product for Streamers (I don't stream at all). You can easily push sound effects through the mic, and add your own custom sounds to the default library.
The biggest (and so far the only) gripe I have is that the software completely closes when you close the app and you can't minimise it to the System Tray. So it just clutters your desktop and needs to be present even if you don't need to adjust the settings.

Excellent functionality and integrates seamlessly with computer programme. Perfect for making music at home and podcasting. Highly recommend. Excellent functionality and integrates seamlessly with computer programme. Perfect for making music at home and podcasting. Highly recommend.

A great mic, crisp sound - warm but clear. We haven't used it extensively so far, but the recordings we have made have been remarkable. I look forward to making more use of this in various online and other applications! A great mic, crisp sound - warm but clear.

Using this mic with my 5 years old acer laptop often caused robotic noise issues. However, I recently changed my device to the newest Macbook and the mic is now working perfectly fine and the sound is very good. Overall, I am satisfied with the product but I don't recommend this mic to devices that are old. Using this mic with my 5 years old acer laptop often caused robotic noise issues.

Bought this for my son to use, and he has not looked back, excellent value, easy to setup and works like a charm. Very happy with this little beast. Bought this for my son to use, and he has not looked back, excellent value, easy to setup and works like a charm. Very happy with this little beast.

I use it for broadcasting and streaming. Needs a little adjustments as it is quite sensitive and loud. But once I set up my filters and noise compression on OBS studio it works like a charm and it is also very good looking! I use it for broadcasting and streaming.
