JLab Talk USB Microphone, USB-C Output, Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Stereo or Bidirectional, 96k Sample Rate, 20Hz, 20kHz Frequency Response, Volume, Gain Control, Quick Mute, Plug & Play

I use this primarily as an aide to handle typing messages and email and word documents.... I find it works best if I speak clearly and somewhat slowly... Overall it is doing the job for me... Very well made and for the money I think I did ok... would buy it again

While the main body of the microphone is mostly plastic, the stand is a very sturdy metal and has a thread for mounting to a boom arm. The sound quality is very premium for the currently $50 price tag. Its a great value for people doing basic content creation, streaming or for people who just want a better sound quality than their built-in microphone. It also comes with a braided USB-C cable.

It took me a while to determine the ideal angle and distance for recording. Definitely had to buy a wind screen and implement noise blockers on my recording software because this thing picks up every puff of air and even vibrations from traffic outside. Not crystal clear quality, despite the sensitivity, but good for basic audio. Also, super easy set up.Though, it would be nice if you didn't have to completely disassemble it to put it away. The fixtures are already wearing off the paint.

Works great, price was good, fast delivery.

Great mic, but started to die after 1 year : / Not thrilled about that. My last mic, which cost $10, lasted nearly 10 years.

All of a sudden Windows 11 does not recognize the device as being connected. It was working fine. I've rebooted, I've unplugged and replugged the cables, checked the security settings all to no avail. Of course it stopped working 2 weeks after the Amazon return window closed. I've noticed in the Amazon reviews I'm not the only one with this issue, a web search shows others with the same problem. The user interface is weird, there is both a headphone volume and microphone gain control but it defaults to the headphone volume instead of the microphone gain. The user manual does not tell you which color is for volume vs. gain (hint: volume is blue, gain is green). And for some weird reason the microphone (when it was working) would suddenly mute itself.UPDATE: 3 days ago I contacted JLAB leaving a support request for help. There has been no response from JLAB.UPDATE: I contacted JLab for a warranty replacement several weeks ago. I supplied my Amazon invoice as my receipt. I never heard back. I contacted them AGAIN resending my Amazon invoice. This time I heard back with "Unfortunately, the invoice that you attached does not match what we have on file for that retailer." and denied the claim. Do business with JLab at your peril.

The tripod is dinky but the mic is excellent!I wish there was some way to turn the LED light off but oh well.

The sound from this mic is great quality for a USB interface. It has multiple audio reception options, a gain control, and push button mute. It includes a stand but the screw on the mount isn't the same size as my XLR boom stand so I can't use it for that, not that I expected it.
