USB Microphone, MAONO 192KHZ/24Bit Plug & Play PC Computer Podcast Condenser Cardioid Metal Mic Kit with Professional Sound Chipset for Recording, Gaming, Singing, YouTube (AU-A04)ClimatePartner certified

This microphone is truly a fantastic item. The price and the sound quality were the first aspects that caught my attention. I have another mic that I won't be using anymore because this one outperforms it. It sounds much clearer, even though the other mic was more expensive. The mic comes with both USB-C and standard USB connections, allowing you to connect it to any device that supports either or both types. I currently use it with my MacBook Pro and my PS5, and it works great on both, though it's slightly less effective on the PS5. I highly recommend it!

Great microphone! Looks and feels like an expensive mic. I appreciate that it comes with a foam cover, pop filter, and adjustable arm base. It’s also very easy to use. It’s a plug and play mic so you don’t have to download or buy any additional interfaces to get quality sound from it. And it does produce quality sound. I received so many compliments about how great/professional my audio sounded (I use the microphone for work and audio recordings). Unfortunately, 2 weeks into using the microphone, I started having issues with subtle white noise. After I failed to isolate and troubleshoot the issue myself, I reached out to Maono’s support and they were very responsive. They also attempted to help me figure out what was going on with my audio and when we could not resolve the white noise issues, they sent me a brand new microphone as a replacement. I found this very generous of them as I was only asking for a replacement cable. So while I might have received a defective product, their support staff’s responsiveness and willingness to help me resolve my issues despite my Amazon return window lapsing earns them 5 stars. So thankful that this company stands behind their products and are willing and able to make things right.*just a note: I think their support staff may be located outside the country… only because they would usually email me back in the middle of the night for me. Otherwise, we had no issues communicating.

Cool product, pretty pleased. Great quality and easy to adjust and set up. Didn't have any problems with shipping, no damages or anything worth worrying about.

The MAONO AU-A04 USB Microphone is an outstanding mic for anyone looking for professional sound quality without breaking the bank. Setup is truly plug-and-play—just connect it to your computer and it’s ready to go, no drivers or complicated steps required. The build quality is excellent, with a sturdy metal body and adjustable stand that feels solid and reliable.The 192kHz/24-bit sound chipset delivers crisp, clear audio with a rich tone, making it perfect for podcasting, recording vocals, streaming, gaming, or YouTube videos. The cardioid pickup pattern does a great job of focusing on your voice while reducing background noise, which gives recordings a clean, studio-like sound.For the price, you get an incredible value with everything included—microphone, stand, shock mount, and pop filter. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced creator, the MAONO AU-A04 is a fantastic choice that easily rivals more expensive microphones. Highly recommended!

Great mic, minimal hissing and clean up needed. Easy standard setup and feels like it’s made of sturdy material.

I actually love this thing. I upgraded from just $30 PlayStation mic and the difference in sound quality for something not even double the price is insane. I've been using it for almost a full year at this point and I have no complaints whatsoever. If you're interested in upgrading to a new mic I'd definitely recommend this one, especially if you can grab it on sale for like $45!

This mic is an okay entry point if you're brand new to podcasting or recording on a tight budget. I appreciated how quick it was to get started and the included accessories are a nice touch. However, I gave it 3 stars because the sound quality didn’t meet my expectations for the advertised specs. It's fine for voice chats and gaming, but for professional-quality recording, there are sharper, richer-sounding options available just a tier above.I'd recommend it as a learning tool or casual-use mic, but not for serious production work.

Easy setup and GREAT sound quality for the price. I would 100% recommend!
