MAONO XLR/USB Dynamic Microphone Kit, RGB Podcast Mic with Software, Mute, Gain Knob, Volume Control, Boom Arm for Streaming, Gaming, Voice-Over, Recording-PD200XS Black

I purchased this mic 16 months ago to improve my audio quality while streaming. I started out using it with a USB function straight to the computer. The mic has great gain, and reverb control with the knob directly on the microphone where you can also mute it, simple function and great a microphone. We then upgraded and purchased the Maono Monocaster G1 mixer and use the XLR connection on the back of the microphone. It's very clear and crisp set properly using either USB or XLR. The sound audio is studio quality. When I make clips or go back and watch my videos on demand it's very clear and distinct. The other thing that sets this microphone and company apart is their customer service. The shock mount broke last week, I emailed the customer service department to see if there was anything they could do, they help me very quickly and are shipping me a new shock mount without 10,000 questions of how and why they just responded. Hey, we got you! I gave it five star. Would recommend to anybody that does any kind of podcasting streaming or video making, editing, vlogging etc. The boom arm it comes with is sturdy and I have not had any issues with it. Overall a fantastic product. Great price range. Great customer service.

Got this for my husband for gaming and chatting with his friends, and also for starting up a podcast. He’s been really impressed with it so far—the sound quality is really great and it feels well made. It’s easy to use and a solid option for anyone looking for a quality starter microphone. Highly recommend!

Insane mic performance for the price. It offers the performance of premium mics that does cost 4x more. Voice clarity is insane, great mount system too. I use it everyday for meetings, gaming, calls with family. Works perfectly on Linux. Make sure to update the firmware using the Maono app (if on Linux, use a VM and then USB passthrough).

Sounds great and feels high quality

Overall, it has a nice build and sound quality. It even sounds good using the included USB cable, and not just when it's hooked up with an XLR. I have a bit of a deeper voice and needed to tweak the EQ a little to pick up the lower tones in my voice but that didn't take much time. I like that it has both gain control and headphone volume control right on the mic. Overall I'd say it's a good mid quality microphone for a great price compared to the quality. I'm able to use it in my home studio for good quality voice over work. Since it does sound good with just the USB, it can be taken with you fairly easily without needing a big case or anything.

The reason why I’m writing this review is to first boost this product as this a view nice sounding mic and the quality is amazing the also allows use to use either usb c or xlr! Also the setup was common sense. If your looking for Something affordable and good sounding mic this should be it! Second was the great customer support who are super helpful when it comes to support as they take you to doing steps seeing if replacing something like a cable or checking if their a loose connection somewhere along the process over all 10/10 support.

Solid bloody mic! The mic's casing is metal. Super nice. Vibration buffer okies. Not as good as the older model. The arm boom is PURRFECT, it doesn't spring back. Stays where you place it. Fits my desk well enough, and is able to clamp on without any issue. For the value, I say this is a good mic to get if you're starting out and need a good beginner mic for streaming or podcasting. Allows you to upgrade to better equipment later on, with easy USB-C and XLR connectivity. Including 3.5 audio plug! I used an older Maono mic before buying this one, and I feel that what you get from the cheapest version of these mics vs. what you get from this one. This one is better bang for your buck.

This Mic sounds amazing i honestly was kinda afraid it wasnt gonna sound great but it definitely does so i would recommend especially for the cost this is such a good deal!! It has a lovely shade of pink, i also love how the foam is pink to that's such a plus.
