Great price, okay mic

Great starter mic for a really good price. Just keep in mind that it is a USB Mic, so there will be quite some delay. It is not optimal for vocal playback and live effects.

Noisy, keep mobile phones 3 meters away from it

I have not seen a device to pick up so much noise from mobile phone transmissions since 2002. Usable if you usually keep your mobile phone in the other room.

Amazing microphone for the price

I just needed a cheap usb mic to attach to my MacBook Pro for sketching out ideas on my double bass, this microphone does the job, simple to use, plug and play technology with Logic Pro and a realistic sound.

cheap & good

Very happy with the product, very easy to install and the option to plug an headphone is a plus. I discovered recently that pushing the volume button mute the microphone. That's a plus.

For this price, this is a very good microphone.

Perfect low budget usb mic

I used this usb mic first for zoom meetings and the sound is amazing , the volume button on the mic I don’t get, no use at all, but it’s a good quality build microphone, at the moment we use this as a third microphone for our podcast and it takes a lot of background noise but I think that has more to do with the table stand than the mic it self so I ordered a boom arm to check if it helps, overall if you don’t have budget but you want a good usb mic for work calls or podcasting or gaming videos or even singing I would recommend this one

Excelent product.

This has been on my main pc for number of years now and worked perfectly all this time. I'm very pleased, I'm a Linux user and it works perfectly under linux. I first used it on kernel 5.9

Great Voice Over Mic on a Budget

I bought this mic for my girlfriend so I didn't have to hear her voice mangled by a gaming headset. Crystal clear signal, but it is a condenser, so a treated room is a must!

Great microphone for small price

Reading all reviews for this microphone I was curious if I will be also happy with this Superlux E205U it and frankly speaking this mic for this price is mindblowing.

Great, clean sound when recording voice, nice tone when recording guitar, it is super easy to use, just plug nad play and you can hear sound. I recommend this one to everyone, who needs cheap microphone with USB for multipurpose recording.

The only thing that could be better is the plastic used for the microphone enclosure, it feels cheap, however for this price it is really small drawback.

Easy to use and good sound quality

We use it to record acoustic instruments into Reason Intro 11 and it works really well. It manages to only pick up the sound of the instrument without taking in all the background noise despite the fact that we're simply recording in the house. Really pleased with it in terms of value for money.

Great piece of kit

If you get stuck trying to mount it to the tripod.

Using a coin you can loosen the adaptor and get it too fit.
