CMTECK USB Computer Microphone G006

So, I didn't expect a whole lot out of this mic. Given it said it has a wide pickup pattern, like you would want for a group, like in a conference room sitting around a table, I thought it would probably be a bit weak. Folks on zoom calls with me tell me that's not the case, that it sounds just fine, like I'm "on the radio." I have done some test recordings and while it's no directional mic, it's actually pretty good for just me sitting at my desk doing zoom calls. In comparison recordings, sound was only slightly less strong than the "gaming" headset mic I was using before. Sound was a little different, slightly more distant though, again, not weak, but still good quality. I'm running my mic gain about 80% on the PC and it's fine, so I even had some room if I want to boost it a bit. If you consider the gaming rig puts the mic 3" from my mouth and I sit this 2-2.5 feet away and it's only SLIGHTLY less strong, I'd say that's a definite win. I can move around, kick back in my chair, etc. and there is only a slight change in how I sound, although I use it in a very small home office with lots of 'hard' surfaces and without much in there to absorb sound, so others' experience in this regard may vary. I really like the mute button on the mic which allows me to keep the mic in the muted state unless I'm using it. On Zoom, I mute with the app, but not all apps have that. THe button has a nice positive click, not mushy or cheap feeling. The LED that shows green for live, red for mute is very helpful to know which state it is in. NO, it's not a $100 (... or more...) mic, but the build quality exceeded what I expected for this price point. The gooseneck is easy to bend, allowing you point point it where-ever, but it's firm and holds any position I've put it in just fine. USB cord is adequately long. The base is neither large nor heavy, but is very stable. I thought the blue LEDs on the top were trivial but as they are on all the time, turns out they are quite helpful to alert me right away if I accidentally pull the mic USB cable out instead of some other device I'm trying to unplug. Now I like them! It just worked, no drivers needed (using MX Linux). I bought this as a "just try it out" sort of purchase on a whim and I thought it might just be something I moved to one of our machines out in the house where we would use it doing video calls with family and I'd move up to something twice the price. But it turned out I REALLY like this mic! In fact, it has earned a spot in my tech inner-circle and is now part of my daily-use equipment and I haven't looked at mics since I bought it. If I need a second mic for me or one for someone else in the family, this will be a buy-again. ------------- Update 3/2023: STILL going strong, great mic for the money. As I said I would ... buying another for my son.

It seems to work as described and was easily recognized by my computer. I am unable to turn it off even when I turn the computer off, so the light stays on all the time.

Great

I was looking for an inexpensive mic to play around with speaking to AI on my PC (instead of typing). This worked perfectly. The AI understood everything I said. Also, I wanted a visual indicator to show when I had the mic muted. This one has a red light to show muting.

Tried multiple headsets and each one made my voice sound muffled. This works great as an alternative!

I liked the price AND it is good enough to get started with. However, during voice training I needed to correct my new England accent to have some words come close to what I was saying. I have no idea if the accuracy of the pickup is good enough to pick up my speech. My wife did not like it. I know there are dB ranges on these devices so for my next Mic I will buy one with greater range. However, swapping mics means retraining some portion of the software again. However, it was easy to setup, and the height was just about ideal with its adjustable goose neck. Being ok is not bad and this is a few times use for a first time Mic user that is not a gamer. I

Pros: + Solid build quality + Great price for a condenser mic + Mute button with LED indicator is convenient + Weighted base prevents tipping + LED lighting can be turned off + Plug & play – easy setup Cons: - No Review: This microphone really surprised me in a good way. It feels sturdy and stable thanks to the heavy base, so it stays put on the desk. The sound quality is great for casual use — voice comes through clearly, and it's perfect for meetings, online classes, or even light gaming and recording. The mute button is a great feature, and the LED indicator makes it easy to see when you're muted. I especially like that the lighting can be turned off, which is rare at this price point. Setup was instant — just plug it into a USB port and you're ready to go. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an affordable, reliable desktop microphone with solid features.

Works good with laptop for talking and playing games with friends online.

Used this to dictate my manuscript onto word doc on laptop. What a brilliant mic!!

Ich habe dieses Mikrofon für meinen Sohn gekauft, er ist zufrieden. Läuft alles wie es sein soll. Super.

El audio está genial, lo uso para grabar videos y para hablar por Skype y Discord, uso bocinas así que con el micrófono que usaba antes había eco y con este ya no y no me tengo que pegar demasiado para que me escuchen bien a diferencia de otros micrófonos del estilo

I tried this out on a WhatsApp call with a friend who is slightly hard of hearing. She said that the sound was much better than it had been using my Logitech webcam. I'd like to give a word of praise to the unusually clear instruction leaflet, which gives detailed instruction for settings in Windows 7, 10 and Apple OSX. It really is plug-and-play, at least in Windows 10; I didn't need to change any settings except for microphone level - the leaflet has a recommendation for maximum level.
