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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
