Bought this mic at Metrotown Best buy last week. If you are using the google pixel phone G3 this mic is not for your. " it is not compatible' but works well on Samsung S9. To prove that, I have made few recordings at home when my kids played the piano. The result of the recording was unpleasant due to the noise that came from like a distorted wire not properly connected. I called the helpdesk acoustic dynamic the maker of this usb microphone. the lady was so helpful but her suggestion to fix the sound didn't work for some reasons. I was wondering why the microphone didn't work on google pixel phone, (no offense but I am pixel phone user for many years, I trusted the pixel phone but failed on this mic issues.. Google need to fix this) then it could be hardware issues, then I tried the Samsung S9 to record the kids piano and to my surprise the sound of the play back was outstanding. In conclusions it was not the microphone had the problem but the hardware of my smartphone on where the USB connects. The structure or design built is really sturdy and you don't need to put a tripod to stand. The sounds after layback is good.
when i first bought he the mic it worked fine. after a few days my voice would cut out a lot or it would make vibrations sounds making my voice inaudible. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM!!
Since everything is online this year, I needed a mic for my courses. It works fine for zoom and discord calls, although I don't think I would use it in a professional setting.
The quality of sound that the microphone picks up is grainy and you have to put the microphone's sound pickup low in order to get decent sounding audio but can still be grainy if you speak or laugh to loud. I was planning on upgrading my current set from Sony headphones to this mic for the podcast I produce but the headphones majorly intended for listening still produce better sounding audio. I do not recommend this microphone for any purposes. I'm giving it two stars because it still functions but if you were hoping to produce any good quality content this is not for you.
