I am very happy with it. its a simple mic for simple jobs. It took about 20 mins for me to figure out settings on my computer to adjust the sound but otherwise I am happy with the products quality and amount I paid. Its a plastic base not metal and there seems to be no feedback background noise happening at this point.

The quality is good for the price, but an improvement would be an extended range.

The microphone itself is good quality and works great. However, the tripod stand is made of flimsy plastic at the base. After two years of normal usage, the plastic at the bottom broke, leaving no way to re-attach the tripod legs back to the base. I am now going to have to throw the entire thing away after only two years because someone decided that a stand was a good place to cut costs. It is disappointing that one cannot purchase good quality items meant to last, but only disposable items that cut corners in build quality.

I use this for in-game communications and attending online meetings. I've received commendations for the excellent sound quality. When used in conjunction with a microphone arm and a pop filter and reducing gain, the microphone can be brought close to your mouth with improved sound quality.

At first, I thought this mic would be of decent quality considering the price point, but I have very disappointed when I got it out of the box. It picked up every background sound and made me sound like I was in a box. In fact, the built-in microphones of my $50 wireless headphones were of superior quality to this one. If you are looking for value, I'd recommend going with something a little better at a slightly higher price point that will give you much better audio. This is not a product I would consider purchasing.

A Great Microphone for the price - but very sensitive
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 1, 2019Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
There are plenty of reviews on YouTube and other places that say this is the best condenser microphone under £50. It could well be - I haven't tested any others. The sound quality from it is very good and there is little noise from the mic itself (easily removed using noise reduction in your audio software - I use Audacity which is free).
Be warned though the microphone is very sensitive. Sitting in a room at the back of the house, with all the doors shut, the mic can pick up the noise of a dog barking out front in the street - or a lorry passing, or pretty much anything above a whisper several rooms away. If you are going to buy the mic for home use then this might be a problem - as it is for me trying to record audio for educational material. You are probably going to need sound-proofing of some sort. Perhaps I should have bought a dynamic mic which is less sensitive.
The microphone is dead-easy to set up - just plug the USB into a Windows 10 computer and you are ready to go. Get a pop filter for it too.
It is a very good microphone for the price provided you can avoid extraneous noise.
UPDATE:
I've now been using this microphone for six weeks to record video. The sound quality of the recording is very good - nice and clear and crip - and there is no microphone hiss. My only problem with it is that it is very sensitive and picks up other noises very easily. It can pick up a dog barking outside or a heavy vehicle passing; it even picks up the sound of a tap being run downstairs; and it seems to pick up the noise of me moving about in my chair (I didn't think I made a noise but this mic picks the muffled sound of movement). For me this is a problem because it makes my audio sound amateurish. When I can afford it I am going to move to a dynamic microphone which should be less sensitive to extraneous noise.

Great for replacing headset mic / streaming / music
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2019Colour Name: BlackVerified Purchase
For the price, this mic is a steal.
The sound quality is great. My friends say the difference between this mic compared to my Hyper X Cloud 2 headset mic on discord is incredible. I have also noticed the difference just on tests in voice recorder / audacity too.
For the money this mic is so close to being perfect but I do have a couple gripes.
1) You need a pop filter. I read reviews which say the same thing and I thought "well it can't be that bad". Well.. unfortunately it is. Any 'P' is instantly popping and causing the mic to distort. This is fine if you are further away from the mic but then you need to increase the gain which in turn increases background noise and lowers the quality. A pop filter fixes this (can get a decent one for £7 on amazon).
2) It feels cheap. The quality of the mic soundwise is fantastic. The look and feel of the mic is like you've just taken it out of a kinder egg. It's certainly not something you would show off!
TLDR: Mic is great if you get a pop filter.

Beginner content creators dream!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 21, 2020Colour Name: SilverVerified Purchase
I was looking for a mic for my YouTube channel simply to improve voiceovers and after much research I decided this was worth a try. For £25 this mic does exactly what I need, the USB connection allows windows to recognise it immediately without the need for software or drivers and the sound quality is very good. One thing worth mentioning is that the mic doesn't handle plosives well, you should keep the mic to the side of your mouth or consider using a pop filter. I attached my mic to a boom arm and it allows me to position it exactly where I need.
If you're a beginner content creator (YouTube, Twitch, Podcast etc) then this is a great choice if you have a limited budget.

So much better than I was expecting
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 24, 2022Verified Purchase
For the price this is literally 1000% better than I was expecting. It's very good and that’s not even a "very good for the price" it's just very good!
Most people have reviewed it with the use of it for recording voice or for meetings, but I am using it for music recording (guitar and voice) and it is working beautifully!!
