Video Reviews

I thought this will be another typical USB Mic, which will be very soft in volume, but to my surpise, it sounded so much clearer even at a distance.

The main reason why I use it is because of this one touch mute button right here at the top. Once touched your mic will turn red to signify it's muted.
