Superlux E205U Reviews

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.

Excellent for hybrid model of distance learning

We received feedback on excellent sound quality from several schools in which we already implemented a hybrid model of distance learning.

Very good for the price

I use this microphone for broadcasting and live streaming, the build quality for the price is amazing, i have found that the microphone can be sensitive to sounds like keyboard clicks.

Excellent starter microphone

It delivers and performs very well for the price you pay, especially considering it's half the price you'd have to pay in my country it's definitely worth it.

Great Microphone

Very easy to use simple plug and play couldn't be easier. Sounds great for the price, using it to talk to friends and record podcasts.

It feels nice and high quality, made from an aluminium body with a steel grill. Would have liked it to be in black instead of silver but can't always have everything.

The product comes with a USB cable about 3ish meters and a small little tripod. USB cable feels like it has some kind of shielding which is nice to see from a product that's not that expensive.

The product has a volume control on it which is nice to see and allows on the fly volume adjustments although on windows at least it doesn't seem to do very much, it's made of plastic that feels a bit cheap compared to the rest of the mic. Haven't recorded any singing or instrumental stuff on it yet but as it has a pretty good dynamic range don't think it will be a problem.

Overall a good mic, would recommend buying if you looking for a fairly inexpensive microphone for almost anything.

Awesome

Excellent audio quality for the price. The microfone is heavy and solid and also has a nice volume knob with a clicky button on it to hide it when not adjusting.

Awesome product

This product is very good as per quality , price and features. Surely recommended for karoke or recording. I had to return it as its USB microphone to be used directly with PC and I want something to work with my audio interface for recording with 6.3mm jack.

I use it for podcasting.

It's a value for money and very worth buying microphone for the prize.

I suggest it for web radios and recordings.

High quality budget microphone

After 6 months of using this microphone I have to say that I had very few issues with it.

The quality of materials and design is excellent - it is a combination of metal a plastic, where the mic itself is mostly metal and the holder is partially plastic.

The quality is extremely good considering the price and that I use it in an enviromnent which is nowhere near any studio. I simply bought it for casual home use. Sometimes the microphone picks up a bit of extra noise, but I have found out that this is very much connected with the software I have been using and that the microphone sometimes does perform on the same setting differently within different applications. For example: there is o hearable noise in PowerDirector 12, yet in AudioDirector (same company) there is considerable amount of noise. There is very little noise when recording with OBS, yet there is a bit extra noise while using Screencast-o-Matic or some other web-based apps.

Overall I cannot but recommend this microphone. I was astonished when it first came and I am still astonished by its quality even after 6 months.

PS: I have been even travelling around with it and there is not even a scratch - the metal body is really solid.

One of the best mic that you can get for 50 euro ! I been using this mic few weeks for In game chat and skype with friends It works really great Its easy to connect to pc and doesn't need any drivers to use it just plug and use.

Great value mic

So far so good! The mic appears to be of good quality and the results so far are very good. Clear response, excellent build quality, no noticeable noise levels. Plug and play too so was easy to get working with my Mac and Logic. A really good addition to my studio set up for recording demos and backing tracks.
