Value for money is good build quality is way to setup functionality is so easy to use best much to buy easy to setup and use for playing game and doing YouTube and making music brightness is golden can change it any time microphone quality is easy you can move it and have it the way you want it

Decent for the price however makes a loud buzz occasionally when plugged in with a headset. Have to un plug and replug to stop it. Probably the cable

The microphone is brilliant, I have the desk arm so I am able to move it where I need it to which also takes up less space on my desk. I initially got this mic for streaming, however they guys I game with have noticed how much different there is in sound quality mentioning how much more clearer they can hear me especially with the noise cancelling software installed too.It is very easy to with the 2 buttons on top for when I need to mute or unmute it is a microphone that I would recommend.I did however run into an issue when I installed a new update where the microphone stopped performing. However when contacting the after sales support team, they were very helpful and assisted where they could with trouble shooting and finding a solution.Hower unfortunately in this situation the microphone did require replacement which the after-sales support have ordered me a free replacement. The after-sales support responded to my email very promptly and we exchanged a few emails regarding this issue. I would also give their after sales a 5 star for the service in which I received.

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.

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!

The microphone quality and the noise suppression are excellent.

Was a great microphone - mine ended up breaking on me after a few months and they replaced it immediately! Great service!
