This microphone is of excellent quality, especially for its price! I recommend the PSA-1 pack that I personally purchased and which is perfect for starting whether it is for singing, voice-over recording, podcasting, and streaming; it is well made. I advise every buyer to get a pop filter or a windscreen which greatly improve recording quality (ref: woodbrass PF-01 for the pop filter and woodbrass WS02 for the windscreen which is also well made) With this, I can only recommend this microphone if you are a beginner, don't want to hassle, and want quality at an affordable price. I also recommend using voicemod for beginners and voicemeeter for the more experienced, two software programs that will allow you to modify the sound as you like!... (Show more)

Excellent quality product. The supplied accessories (cover & bassinet) are really very useful. The quality is remarkable and even exceeds all my original needs. According to the saying: "who can do more, can do less!" Very satisfied with this item. My only regret is technical, I would have also liked to be able to connect it to a camcorder via a Jack socket but it is not possible. Only the PC benefits from this recording quality, that's all!! Best regards

Very good value for money, since I got this microphone, I am very satisfied. I had a headset with a microphone before, however, I was heard as if I were in a bathroom. I then bought this microphone for only €60 and now, I am heard normally, without resonance, without noise and without echo. Really perfect for chatting quietly with friends, making videos or any other things requiring vocal use.

Very good quality microphone, if this is your first real microphone you will be crazy about it. The sound is clear, warm, and really very precise. For use, nothing could be simpler, it's plug and play, you plug it in and it is immediately recognized. Also recognized by my PS5 with which I have a very good experience. I highly recommend this product.

Switching from an already good quality headset (sennheiser g4me one) to the bird UM1, the difference is huge, and its ease of use is a real plus, it's plug & play, you plug it in and it works, you need to adjust the sensitivity in Windows because the gain integrated into the microphone is set to 100% on Windows.

Fast delivery, delivery time respected. Functional microphone, very good quality, very good sound (with some adjustment though). For its price, it does the job very well. Accompanied by a Neewer boom pole at €20 to start, the microphone stays in place and is recognized by the computer without any issues.

Easy to use for "home" recordings, especially with the open-source software Audacity. Also usable in video conferencing. USB cable included. Standard microphone stand mount. A pop filter may be necessary as a complement for voice recordings.

Good microphone, not easy to tame if you don't know well how to process your voice, otherwise after a good compressor plugin and a noise gate, I assure you the sound is really worth the price. Unbeatable value for a podcast microphone.

Excellent! Tested immediately, with Audacity, then on smartphone, Guitar and recorder flute... Remember to get a USB-C OTG adapter. Female USB to micro USB for recording on smartphone, and also a boom stand for the microphone..

Very good microphone. I used a headset microphone to communicate with my friends but often they heard me very badly because I have a small voice. With this microphone they hear me very well and I no longer have any problems.

For the price, to be used with Voicemeeter which is free, it's crazy, what's the point of spending 500€ on a Shure SMB7 when for 50€ you have the same thing? Buy this microphone best value for money on the market!

Very good frequency response, well directional! However, the elastic suspension is not great and the elastic comes out too easily from its hooks, which need to be tightened to hold the suspension in place.

I take away 1 star on the "quality" because if you have a mechanical keyboard, you can hear the keys a bit, etc., but for recording, etc., it's perfect, the quality is incredible for the price.
