KLIM Talk USB Desk Microphone for Computer - New - Compatible with Any PC Laptop Mac - Professional Desktop Mic with Stand - Recording Gaming Streaming YouTube Podcast Mics

I use this for dictation. It works well.

I am a streamer and an Aspiring voice actor so having a great mic is essential for me. The mic has a nice clear audio quality for the price range, and is great for if you have multiple people who you need or want to record/play with. The mic does pick up noise quite easily though so you may need to adjust levels to suit your needs, but this mic works perfectly for me, and many of my viewers said the stream has vastly improved because of the mic quality. KLIM Talk is well adjustable physically, it takes up little space and can easily be adjusted to suit your needs, if you have a small desk space this mic is the best affordable stand mic for you. It is also quite durable it can take a few falls and a bit of a beating, I wouldn't reccomend trying to destroy your mic but if your workspace has accidents this mic should still last awhile. Sound Quality 8/10 - it sometimes has noticeable background noise but isn't very intrusive, Picks up sound in a large area so if you don't want others audio in whatever you are doing you may have to adjust your mic settings on PC Design 10/10 - Love the flexible design and the easyily accessible shut off switch, Very happy that it's compact to keep space available while also having a small noticable light when on, which i constantly forget to turn my mic off so this is a great reminder to be careful what I say. Also comes with an Anti-Pop filter which is essential for my work so that was a nice bonus. Accessability 10/10 - No drivers are necessary to install so it's easy to plug into a new system and requires no additional set up. I only needed to review the product but as I fell in love with the crisp quality and how little space it takes, I will continue to use this mic for a long time. I personally reccomend this mic to anyone who is looking for a professional affordable sound.

Due to the lovely pandemic that has been ongoing for the last few months, remote communication has been made a necessary in the interest of safety. I'm cool with that, but as a result I've needed to acquire a device that's more dedicated to sound quality than what my phone has to offer while also allowing me to retain the freedom of using my speakers instead of some cheap headset. Thankfully, this microphone ended up being a fantastic budget solution that not only sounds decent but looks appealing. It required virtually no setup as the plug-and-play works perfectly (i.e. no driver setup necessary). I first tested it out in a class that was oriented around public speaking, and my professor was both pleased with the audio levels and sound quality. I would have to say, as far as faculty goes, a communications professor's endorsement is as good as you're going to get. Subsequent testing of my voice at different audio levels in Audacity confirms that the quality is certainly good for the price range. It's not perfect, and you are likely going to hear feedback, but it would be present to the extent commonly found in cheap, poorly made microphones. Given your Internet connection isn't a mess, you will be able to communicate clearly with your friends, family, colleagues, and/or faculty. As mentioned before, it does look fairly nice out of the box, and the bottom is weighted enough to where the reasonably long cord will not pull or drag it from where you have it placed. It will mostly likely fit well on your desk and greatly compliment whatever setup you might have going. While I don't know how great the microphone will be over an extended period of time, it has provided a strong early impression. I'll update the review as necessary should any issues or points to mention arise in the future, but as it stands I am pleased with the performance and value of this product.

I was VERY frustrated with my brand new laptop built-in microphone -- tired of leaning over my keyboard (during video meetings, the only thing others could see was the top of my head -- either that or they could not hear me at all!!). So for a very modest price I bought this microphone -- changed the entire experience! It is simple, easy to install, and works like a champ for my needs. I believe it is not for those who have high demands, perhaps such as gamers, or music mixers or audio book recording, etc. where truly exceptional quality is necessary. But for family and friends doing video meetings, it is just what the doctor ordered. Consequently I marked it only 3 stars for gaming. For "thickness" I did the same, though I have no idea what thickness is with respect to a microphone????

So I'm always use to buying Logitech peripherals for my computer, and having used Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the last 20 years I have found that the boom microphone that sits on the desk is the best instead of wearing a silly headset or buying an expensive microphone like your recording an album with the Beatles. Logitech stopped making the noise cancellation microphone so I went looking for a new one for my laptop computer. This one exceeded my expectations because using voice recognition software the microphone is so particular but with this even if it is moved a fraction of an inch year or there it still picks up everything. It also is very sturdy and adjustable, USB connection and the input is fast. I like the mute button, not sure I'm a big fan of the red light being on when I use it but if that was the only complaint it's worth. 5/5. If you're looking for a microphone to you is at a desktop or laptop computer for dictation, you can't go wrong with this and especially for the price. It is well-built.

Yeah, no. This thing pooped out after only 2 months of use. No bueno. The box - Upon opening I felt like the mic was safely packaged. Usually I never notice something like that, but I did this time. Do with that information what you will. Bubble rap - I appreciated the bubble rap. Finally the product. After a few tests and using it for a voice over audition I sent in, I found I was impressed with the sound quality for the price that it was listed at. Above, the mic boasts being beautiful so that I don't feel like a lesser human being when people see it on my desk. And yeah, this mic looks nice. I've worked with a ton of microphones for podcasts and group meetings and this one certainly feels superior to those. I found it was durable right off the bat. I opened it outside and deliberately dropped it on the ground while holding it above my head (I'm 6'2). Recording audio certainly seems up to snuff and I've had no issues with it. It's a great mic for just 20 bucks. If you're trying to start up voice over work for podcasts or youtube videos, I would suggest this one highly. ~AR

I bought a webcam a while back, and never really got around to testing the mic on it. Turns out the mic was hot garbage, so I decided to get a standalone mic. This had a lot of reviews, and was looking pretty decent. I'd read some reviews saying it was just super ultra low volume, and you essentially had to scream at the thing to register anything. I wasn't worried, as it was a small set of folks saying it. After receiving the product I immediately plugged it in and found that the mic would only pick up audio if I was straight up shouting at it from less than 7 inches away. I tried adjusting microphone gain, and moving it around to different USB ports as well as removing the device and re-adding it in device management. I looked for drivers, and eventually gave up, and contacted support. Not your standard support. They offered a pretty robust solution set (lots of options, and good troubleshooting steps) which I applaud. It happened to not help me out, so I told them it didn't work. They sent out a new microphone once I told them their troubleshooting didn't work. New mic came in the mail relatively quickly. I plugged it in, and it worked just great. Bottom line: If you get one that's not picking up your audio, contact support and they'll be able to take care of you one way or the other.

I don't usually play online or with voice chat ever, but my siblings had started playing games together so i got this just to be able to communicate. Suprisingly, i had the best mic quality out of this bad boy than a razer gaming headset and a corsair one. the mic sounds really nice if you get it in the right spot but i've noticed the trade off is that it has no noise cancelling whatsoever so while its really high quality, the other people will be able to hear EVERYTHING. worked well for my purpose though until my dog chewed it up... F maybe i'll order another one of these if i need a cheap mic again
