Still using this mic for 7 years. Great product

Sounds good! Got lots of compliments about it sounding like a professional microphone. I've had mine for 2 years now and it's still going strong. I kind of wish the boom arm were a bit more sturdy and longer, but the ones that come with it aren't too bad. Overall, a good microphone if you're on a budget!

Clear sound

compared to other similarly priced microphones this one is pretty good but overall microphones are overpriced

I've been using the SUDOTACK USB Streaming Podcast PC Microphone for the past 3 weeks, and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled with its performance! As an avid podcaster, I'm always on the lookout for affordable yet high-quality microphones, and this one has exceeded my expectations.First off, the sound quality is truly excellent. I've been able to record my podcasts with 192kHz/24Bit sample rate, resulting in crystal clear audio that leaves my listeners impressed. The wide frequency response (30 Hz to 16kHz) means that my voice is captured with great fidelity, and the high-resolution audio is a real treat for the ears.The cardioid pickup pattern is a game-changer. It focuses on capturing sound sources directly in front of the microphone, significantly reducing any unwanted background noise. This has made a huge difference in the clarity and professionalism of my recordings.Setting up the SUDOTACK microphone was a breeze. It's a simple plug-and-play USB device that works flawlessly with both my Mac and PC without requiring any drivers. It's even compatible with mobile phones, although you'll need an adapter (not included).The included noise elimination accessories are a fantastic bonus. The microphone stand, shock mount, table clamp, anti-wind foam cap, USB A to B cable, and pop filter all help to minimize noise from vibrations and plosives, ensuring my recordings are as clean as possible.Overall, I'm incredibly pleased with my purchase of the SUDOTACK USB Streaming Podcast PC Microphone. It's a high-quality, easy-to-use, and versatile microphone that has elevated the audio quality of my podcast to new heights. Five stars all the way!

Works well very solid mic super easy to use

ORGINAL REVIEW: I paid for overnight delivery of this product given the glowing reviews. I installed it and Windows 10 confirmed it as good to go. I went into the Sound settings and made my adjustments. I then tried to test it with several apps and they all crashed. Then the computer crashed, rebooted and went into recovery mode! After recovery mode, I tried again and not only do my apps keep crashing, but now when I open the Sound settings they crash and won't let me edit settings for ANY microphone. I contacted customer service and they told me submit a warranty claim and then closed the chat on me without notice. I just submitted the claim and I so regret paying for overnight shipment, as the turnaround to even look at my issue is 24-48 hours. I could have just waited that long to get the item in the first place and save money. I am so frustrated with this. This is brand new! I have a MUCH cheaper microphone already that hasn't given me any grief. I say stay away from these people if I never change this review.UPDATED REVIEW: Customer service contacted me but by then I had already troubleshoot the issue myself. Let me save someone a headache. When you install this microphone, the instructions say to go make edits to the Sound options. I've attached a screenshot of said step. You can see that this microphone has a lot of options, which you will assume are all valid to be used because the claim the mic has its own chip. I chose the highest one because I wanted to test how powerful this mic is, and all it did was crash my apps, crash my laptop, and force me to do recovery mode to restart my machine.In other words, when you are changing these settings, start with the lowest setting already defaulted, and slowly try increasing one by one until you get a crash. Your computer wont support anything on or above that setting that crashes your system. I wish the options listed were only for valid functions I can use for my laptop.If you do end up crashing:1. Unplug the mic from the USB port2. Delete the driver from Device Manager from Sounds, and from Audio Inputs3. Reboot your machine4. Reinstall the mic5. Either leave the setting as is, or try the last settings that DIDNT crash your computer.The reasons for docking two stars are the following:1. The customer service rep who closed the chat window on me while I was reviewing the troubleshooting steps they wanted me to follow. They didn't allow me to properly end the chat and ask further questions.2. The fact that I had troubleshoot the issue myself, as what customer service said was not the issue at all.3. The fact that I'm not getting the full experience of the mic that I would expect from a Plug-and-Play device.Is the sound good? Absolutely. Would I buy from this brand again? Probably not.
