Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone with Tripod Stand for PC, Laptop, iPhone, iPad, Android Phones, Tablets, Xbox and YouTube Recording, Black

The quality of this mic is pretty outstanding! It's plug-and-play, and works great as long as you give the owner's manual a quick glance to make sure you're using it correctly.Pro-tip: if there's a buzzing in your recording, it's probably because you've connected your cable directly into your phone or tablet and it's grounding on the casing. Use one of the provided splitters and it gets rid of the buzz.**UPDATE**I ended up using this the other night to record a weekly D&D session, mostly for giggles, and cannot be more impressed! This handy little mic picks up the best within a foot, but will pickup quite a bit. Our table is probably about five square feet, and with the mic stationed at one corner, I was able to pick up the four people's voices really well, if not a little quieter. Keep in mind, that's not really it's intended use. This goes above and beyond what I expected!This is the best product that I've seen for beginner recorders, and I would go so far as to say professional grade, and I back that with four years of experience with using professional grade mixers and sound systems.

UPDATE: It is now the middle of September and this microphone is still kicking! I use two of these several times a week and it does exactly what I need. While the audio quality is good (see original review below) it is not perfect, but my audio software has no problem adjusting it! So, once again for the price, this is hard to beat!Original Review:First, if you want a professional recording use pro equipment in a studio. This mic is worth every dollar. I purchased it to help with a vblog and live stream stuff, it does great. I have used it in a small room, a church sanctuary, and outside in the wind, It works far better than I expected and so far I am exceptionally pleased. In fact I am going to purchase another and will use them as an alternative to taking more expensive equipment outside. The tripod that comes with it feels cheap, and that is the only knock on it.

**UPDATE 06/07/16**After I posted my original review and sent back the microphone I ordered, I was contacted by the seller. After some back and forth about what I experienced and my reason for returning the product, the seller was confident that they could send me a working microphone. They advised they would test it in house before sending it out to me. Well, it took some time but, I eventually got the new microphone and it works perfect on the same equipment I used last time. I am happy with the sound and quality. I therefor raised my starts from a 1 to a 4. I still had to go through sending back my old one and waiting for a new one but I did end up getting a working and great product (especially for the cost).**ORIGINAL REVIEW**IF this product would have worked, it would have been an extremely easy set up, just plug it in. I have a Samsung 7 Edge that i was attempting to use this with. I am a new blogger on YouTube and am trying to improve the quality of my videos with both picture, lighting, and sound. The Samsung has a great picture, I bought a great Lighting kit (awesome), and all I was missing was to make the sound perfect. I was torn between purchasing this and a lapel. I guess I should have ordered the lapel. Seeing as I'm not using any real professional equipment, I thought that for the price, this would be a great place to start for getting better sound quality.So, what was the problem you ask? The BUZZING! Although the mic was able to pick up my voice (barely), there was an awful buzzing sound that was horrible. Regardless of how I plugged it in, it just would not work. I took it out of the stand and basically put it in front of my mouth and still no use. You could barely hear me and the buzzing was there. I read reviews of holding the mic in the wrong direction, it wasn't that either. MAYBE this item is just not compatible with the samsung 7edge. This item is being immediately returned.Hope this helps :)

I was to please when I opened up the shipping box and I am actually debating whether I should open up the package with the microphone and it to test them out. Someone who is used professional microphones her entire life I could tell by looking at it that the microphones are made from plastic and the latent reverb and echo from a product would be substandard due to the materials used in the microphone's casing. As someone has done professional recording this is an item that is just not up to my standards. It is however something that a child might like to use playing with the computer learning how to use a microphone.Fessional usage I don't believe he'll be up to my standards and I would be giving it a fair review if I went into it with that attitude. I'm going to give it another day I am studying a little bit and see if I want to go in to actually reviewing this product.I purchased this product on Amazon.com exchange for a fair, honest and non-biased review.

The instructions are not adequate. I have not been able to set it up. I give up. No sound, nothing, and it is too late to send it back. After years of good service from Amazon, I find I paid for something that will not be refunded. Perhaps with better instructions this story might have been better.

Sorry Zach sound I thought I review this product but I have not. Just wanted to say it with a high quality microphone this is. I use it to narrate videos I use it for speech to text oh my computer. Okay I even use it to do a little karaoke. The surprise was the insanely incredible microphone stand that it comes with. I've been looking for a stand like this and it comes free with the mic are you kidding me. It Folds into a handle so you can use it as a pistol grip holder and then it unfolds into a 3-legged tripod mic stand that fits on the table does not extend but it's about 8 inches high on the table. I won't lie it fits perfectly on any camera and I also use it for my Air Pro. With that pistol grip it is very easy to handle and very easy to aim the camera. And with the 2 accessory adapters you can plug this mic into almost anything. Thanks again ZaxSound. Sorry about the late review
