FDUCE USB Microphone, Computer Cardioid Condenser PC Microphone with Tripod for Gaming, Streaming, Podcasting, Chat, YouTube on Mac and Windows (Black)

Great sound for the price – solid starter micThis little FDUCE USB microphone impressed me right out of the box. Setup couldn’t be simpler: just plug it in, and it’s ready to go without messing with drivers or settings. I use it on both Windows and Mac, and it was recognized instantly on both.The sound quality is very clean for a mic in this price range. Voices come through warm and natural without the “tinny” feel you sometimes get with budget mics. It does a good job of minimizing background noise if you’re in a reasonably quiet room, and the cardioid pickup pattern helps keep the focus on your voice. I’ve used it for video calls, light podcasting, and even a bit of streaming, and it’s been clear and consistent every time.The included tripod is a nice touch and works fine on a desk, though it’s very lightweight. If you’re someone who tends to bump the table or type heavily, you’ll pick up a bit of vibration, so I’d recommend considering a sturdier boom arm down the road. The mic itself feels solid, not flimsy, and the matte black finish looks professional.Things to keep in mind: this isn’t a studio-grade microphone. If you’re planning to do serious music recording, you’ll want something more advanced. But for gaming, Zoom, YouTube, and casual podcasting, it’s a great option that punches above its price.Bottom line: An affordable, plug-and-play USB microphone that delivers surprisingly good sound for everyday use. Easy recommendation if you want to upgrade from a laptop mic or headset without breaking the bank.

Use this to conduct online small-group classes as an alternative to my headsets. Seems to put participants more at ease and it looks less "institutional" when I'm not wearing a headset. I have no scientific proof of this...just a gut feeling. Anyway, I'm in a noise-controlled environment so figured this would work out well. This is positioned on my desk, out of camera view (not that the latter is necessary) and I can still be heard clearly with my natural "inside voice" at my normal upright posture 2-3 feet away. The mic itself is plug-n-play and thus very easy to setup. It has some weight to it and doesn't feel cheap.The volume knob and mute button prominently visible on the front are all that is necessary to adjust levels. The mute button has integrated light....red light means you're muted, no light means you're hot....simple. You could also bypass this altogether by leaving it always hot and adjusting mute and volume from your PC; but for me, I like having mechanical control within arm's reach. Especially the mute button that I can quickly press during a quick throat-clearing or sudden interruption by the kids. A very good investment.

I like that it was easy to set up and it works well and it’s stable and not easy to knock over because it’s the three legs and people say they can hear me well and I can adjust the volume of my voice. It’s much better than a bass microphone, but it picks up a lot of ambient sound so the sound quality isn’t great unless you’re in a quiet room. it’s worth the money, its not sensitive enough to be asmr but if you have pets who like to knock things over this is good and stable.

I like how there’s a mute button, the mic stands just right, people hear me clearly & the mic looks and feels high quality. This mix for this cost, improved my gaming experience by 1000% & so can it for you. There’s a volume dial as well ontop of the mute button to fine tune the volume. It comes with a mini stand that works pretty good(Just gotta position it right). The USB cord is long and can reach from afar easily(But not super far, keep that in mind). It’s longer than a iphone charger to give a bit of a vision of it. This mic is amazing.

I needed to make some videos and needed a good mic that picked up my voice better from being a little distance from it. This mic worked really well. Easy to mute and volume control worked well. My computer added it quickly with no problems. Great little mic for the money.

I am on Zoom and after listening to the sound quality of my microphone, which is built into my webcam, I realized I sounded like I was speaking from the far end of a long hallway. My office, which I Zoom in, has many hard surfaces and not much fabric or noise absorbing materials. After watching numerous YouTube videos on how to improve my sound quality I learned a condenser type microphone (like in my webcam and like this microphone) should ideally be no more than 6-8" from the sound source. This microphone has a long enough USB cord and a tripod stand that allows me to place it within 6" of my mouth. The microphone itself is reasonably well made but there is nothing remarkable about its performance. It simply allows me to position it close to me for better sound as compared to a webcam with a built-in microphone.

After having so much trouble with lousy microphones, I gave this one a try and so far the feedback I’m getting from people I am meeting with online is great quality at their end. So I would say great investment. It’s very portable and it works.

Bought the mic not expecting a lot for the price. But instead have walked away very impressed. Well built, and powerful, and the sound quality most excellent. If you combine it with a top-of-the-line Freeware Voice mixer such as Voicemeeter Banana. You'll come out sounding very professional I've been using it for a week and my listeners are blown away at the sound quality. Even more so when I tell them it was only $20. Fduce is most assuredly on my brand-to-watch list! Buy with confidence and at such a low price. You'll be amazed!
