I needed this microphone for teaching online, specified by my school. I was a little dubious at first but it sounds so much better than my gaming headset microphone. It seems to block out most background noises. It took less than 10 minutes to set up from the box and the stand is easily adjusted and seems sturdy

I will start off by saying that I have worked in music for MOST of my life. I have toured, done live venues and recording studios, and worked in visual media as well. So microphones are something I know very well. The name brand was the first thing that caught my eye, but I'd never heard of this mic before. Since podcasting is new territory, I wasn't sure that the same quality would be there, especially after reading LOTS of reviews talking about phantom power needs and USB interfacing.I am SO happy to be able to say that this mic worked like a dream. I simply unboxed it, put everything together, plugged it in, and started using it. All the parts seem to be very well-made and sturdy, especially the arm, which had received some bad reviews previously. The part that attaches it to the desk is great and seems like it will work for many years.I really like the sound quality. Having used more expensive mics on stage, I have to say that this mic has just the right "warmth"... not too bright, and not too bassy. I think it really represents my voice well, and if I ever need to replace this one, I will purchase the same thing again, if it's available. If not, then certainly another Marantz product.I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to podcast with just a simple plug and play device. The only thing I would add would be a pop screen and the piece that reduces the noise.

The microphone has amazing quality and performance. I have had it for years now, and have had peers comment on how amazing my sound quality is. I can connect it to my PC/PS4 and have amazing sound quality on both profiles. I have recorded and streamed many times, to hear the amazing audio it has sufficed. My only problem was the arm of it, the mic was good, but the arm broke fairly quickly and needed to be replaced. Would be a 5 star if the arm never broke!

For the price this setup is absolutely amazing. The sound quality of the microphone is so crystal clear. I have it about 4 feet from me and added a pop filter to filter out the sound of my fan. Anyone I've gamed with so far says how fantastic and clear I am. Very happy with the purchase and the plug and play of it is so simple. Only complaint is the cord is only about 3 feet so it has to be put close to your tower but it's not a deal breaker. Overall i am completely satisfied. It sounds just as good if not better than my old Neumann microphone that cost over $300 that died last week. Any negative reviews on this are obviously from people being too rough with the boom arm or simply not knowing how to setup a USB component. If your on the fence about buying this hopefully your seeing this review and buy it. I promise you won't be sorry.

Will update this review as the mic receives more use. Right now, this is a fresh-out-of-the-box review.For starters, this does NOT have an included USB cord. It's just a USB 2.0 A male to USB B male (the kind of USB cord used for printers and other peripherals), so it's neither hard nor expensive to locate. It is entirely possible that in our rush to get this order taken care of, neither my husband nor myself saw any warnings about a lack of USB cord, so I'm not going to hold that against the product itself.The boom arm is sturdy and bends easily, but not too easily. It also easily fastens to tables, monitors, shelves, etc. (anywhere you want to mount it!) via a c-type clamp. The arm doesn't sink under the weight of the mic and pop guard (purchased separately).The mic itself seems to work well, but it has not yet been thoroughly tested. The short sound clips we've recorded sound well, and others in voice chat rooms (like Discord) have no difficulty in hearing. Again, since it's barely been used, I will update with any new information.

Love this microphone. Has no headphone jack for latency free monitoring as many other USB mics have but the sound quality is excellent with very little noise floor. Paid less than $18.00 but moments after I ordered the price went up to $49.00. Shame because I was going to order a few more. Even at $50 it's a good mic purchase for podcasters and video creators. Wouldn't suggest it for musicians though. The scissor arm is better than comparable mounts as it is less noisy and just as rigid. The clamp is beefier and less likely to bend. The included USB cable is ok but short and not insulated as well as others. Not a big deal for most users but I ordered a longer replacement with better insulation to reduce EMI from other equipment. Cable I purchased has braid over foil for maximum reflection of stay electromagnetic interference. It does have minimal pop filtration to reduce plosives and does a fair job past 6 inches. Any closer and you'll want to add a pop filter or wind screen. The mic mount is polymer and seems sturdy and well made but is proprietary to this mic. Use of the mic with standard mic stands will require the use of a 5/8 to 3/8 adapter which means the scissor arm won't work with most popular standard mic mounts without said adapter either.If you're looking for a quality mic at a great price I recommend this for the semi pro user without reservation.

(Lasted for 2 years before failing) When this product was $19 it was an incredible deal. The sound quality of this microphone rivals those that are in the $500+ range. Literally no self noise and clear crisp vocals. Works perfect for gaming, streaming, voice overs and overall anything that requires a good mic. For $19 you get everything you need to start recording except a cheap pop filter which costs about $6 here on amazon. Overall this is top notch product.
