Excellent Performer!

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2019

We're more than satisfied with the performance of this conference mike, which we purchased to record meetings held in a medium-size room with some participants as much as 15 feet from the microphone. We record on a plan-vanilla office computer using the simple Voice Recorder app supplied with Windows-10, and the results are phenomenal, with every voice clearly audible, even those who tend to speak softly. Being a USB-type gadget with the voices being digitized right in the microphone, there is no hum or other electrical noise being picked up, and even though it sits right on the conference table it seems to ignore bumps, pencil tapping and other unwanted vibrations of the table.

Decent mic

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

We are using this for a zoom setup in our living room. Previously we had relied upon the microphone on a laptop or camera that was ~10' away, so the audio wasn't very good. I purchased this with a 10' USB extension and it works much better. People can hear us much more clearly.

I was able to find a used ("Very Good" condition) one sold from Amazon for $33.80 that made this a good deal. I don't know that I would consider it as good of a value if I paid the normal price ($58.99).

Love this device!

Perfect. Exactly what was needed after crummy laptop mic / video module gave up the ghost. This Amazon device is a quality product; heavy weight, great mic pickup - you don't need a microphone right up next to your face! Also - no specific drivers needed, just plug in usb port and select it for Input in your Audio settings.

Exactly what I wanted (I already have built in speakers that work, don't need more of those). Thanks!

Not very good

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought this for a conference room microphone for Teams and Zoom meetings. The speaker has pretty good range, but cuts off words. It seems to try to recognize that someone is speaking and turn on the microphone. However is is too slow and the words are not clear. Going to return it.

Thought it was a speeker too

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020

We though it was a speaker too. It is not. There is a speaker jack on it. And it works great that way. It solved the problem we were having with the laptop. The laptop's mic stopped working when we plugged in speakers. So this fixed that issue. Also in retrospect, is it so small it would be a terrible speaker, if it was.

Excellent microphone for home office conference calls.

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Note that this is a microphone only. I've paired it with an extra speaker i had and it has worked very well as a conference system for a week of regular work conference calls freeing me from wearing a headset (4-6 hours/day of calls). I bought the mic only which saved money vs buying the mic + speaker options that cost 2x as much. I'm told my voice is clear and easily understood on calls. I haven't tried it for conference room calls, but based on performance so far I don't expect any issues.

Good Investment

I love this little microphone. I have used it both individually and in a conference room setting. Other remote participants will often tell me that they can't hear me if I forget to engage this speaker before starting a meeting. With this speaker I feel that I can converse in a normal tone of voice without shouting.

Good sound, stereo options

Reviewed in Canada on June 22, 2022

Verified Purchase

Not by much, but I like the audio this microphone puts out better than the really large Yotto or CMTech conference microphones. It even has a headphone jack with volume control buttons. You can set the microphone to be the audio source for your headphones. Headphones that is, it's not a speaker. It comes with a micro-usb cable which is a little older. Micro-usb used to be the standard connection for most phones. It's not newer USB C. The unit is small, and quite heavy for it's size. The mute/unmute button has a click to it. I have used it with skype calls to telephones and I have not had any problems with communication. I have it sitting off to the side on my desk and there's no problems with phone communcations. I don't know how well it works with conference calls around a table. It's good, and the stereo feature is something, although I don't know how useful it is. I put the huge Yotto mic back in the box for storage because I will use this one now. There's not a huge difference between the cheaper conference microphones I have tested, but this one may in fact have the best sound. It should install automatically but it may need some source settings adjustment depending on the program you are using. I made the mistake of changing a bunch of Win11 settings and had to backtrack and turn permissions back on. It will work okay with Windows Recorder, so you can test it out. It works with fully legible sound. And it performs probably better than the Yotto which is three times the size and mono only. Good mic.

Pequeño pero funciona bien

Reviewed in Spain on May 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

La instalacion es muy sencilla simplemente enchufas el microfono y ya funciona. es bastante pequeño y discreto, pero funciona bastante bien, yo lo queria para hacer video llamadas con mi familia, no se acopla aunque tenga el microfono al lado del altavoz. Por supuesto hay que leer la descripción para darse cuenta de que es solo microfono.
Le pongo solo 4 estrellas porque algunas veces me dicen que no se oye bien, pero no creo que sea el microfono sino mi ordenador, ya me pasaba con el anterior.

Überraschenderweise wahnsinnig gut!

Reviewed in Germany on May 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

Ich hatte mir eigentlich nicht viel erwartet und wurde auf das Positivste überrascht. Beruflich verwende ich zumeist Jabra Speaker und bin deren Qualität gewohnt. Dieses USB-Konferenzmikrofon kostet nicht einmal die Hälfte eines Jabras - wie gut kann es also sein? Die überraschende Antwort: "Sehr, sehr gut."

Man muss natürlich eines berücksichtigen: Das hier ist "nur" ein Tisch-Mikrofon. Es hat KEINEN integrierten Lautsprecher. Externe Lautsprecher oder Headset kann man aber über einen 3,5mm Klinkenstecker direkt am Mikrofon anstecken.

Ton wird von dem Mikrofon exzellent aufgefangen. Auch aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln und aus 1,5m Entfernung problemlos. Ich nehme an, auch größere Entfernungen würden ebenso noch funktionieren. Die Tonqualität ist dabei sehr gut, wie mir meine Gesprächspartner immer wieder bestätigt haben - deutlich besser auf jeden Fall als die meines Notebook-Mikros (und die ist auch schon ganz ok).

Direkt am Mikrofon ist eine grosse runde Taste, über dam an das Mikro schnell und einfach ein/ausschalten kann. Sie leuchtet blau, wenn es aktiv ist und rot wenn es ausgeschaltet ist. Auch am Mikro gibt es zwei kleine Tasten für die Lautstärkenregelung etwaiger angeschlossener Lautsprecher. Diese Tasten sind allerdings etwas klein geraten und ein wenig fummelig. Ist aber nicht schlimm.

Wenn man externe Lautsprecher anschliesst gibt es von diesen keine Rückkopplung - alles gut soweit also.

Zusammengefasst: Sehr gutes Tischmikrofon. Absolut empfehlenswert!
