Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Note: The video review is actually an audio review. It's a (voice only) sound sample captured using the microphone along with some notes based on use. PROS: + Simple to set up and use (Windows) -- it wasn't plug 'n play for me; I had to tweak some of my audio settings + Does a respectable job at noise cancellation -- though don't expect it to weed out a riding lawnmower outside your window or anything + The angle of the mic can be adjusted while in its tripod (see Cons) + Doesn't require batteries or other external power source + Better sound quality than I expected for the price point (see Cons) NEUTRALS: * This thing feels like a toy -- this could be good or bad depending on whether you're looking for something very lightweight (which this is) or need a bit more heft with your microphone CONS: - Recordings tend to have a tinny hollow quality, especially in the higher range - Tripod legs aren't adjustable - Forget about recording anything at more than a couple feet away Notes: This isn't a USB microphone--it requires a dedicated 3.5mm microphone jack (or a splitter if your device combines mic/audio); for this microphone, the sweet spot is around 6 inches from the audio source Disclosure: Sample provided for review purposes.
