SUDOTACK USB Podcast PC Microphone, Professional 192KHZ/24Bit Studio Cardioid Condenser Mic Kit with Desktop Stand Shock Mount Pop Filter, for Skype, Zoom, Youtube, Gaming, Recording (ST810)

Firstly, the price and overall value-for-money is the biggest heavy hitter, as for just under £50, you get the ST-810 Cardioid Condenser Mic, a desktop stand, shock mount, pop filter and anti-wind foam cap.The microphone itself isn't the most eye-catching in terms of originality, sporting an all metal minimalist black look with a large three-piece grille and a side-address setup. Originality aside, however, the ST-810 is sleek, very well made, and feels like you could use it as a weapon against an intruder - that is to say there's a decent amount of heft to it - which is good, as it gives it more of a premium feel. There's no light indicator, no volume or gain control, just the mic, but even still, it looks and feels more premium than a lot of similar priced microphones.The included accessories in the box meant I was up and running straight away, and whilst I substituted the included desk stand to use the ST-810 with my scissor boom arm, the stand itself is very well made, and has an adjustable pole that elevates it a little more, albeit not vastly so. The base at the bottom of the stand is very heavy, and will ensure that an accidental knock doesn't fling the whole set-up off your desk.The shock mount is again great quality, although it is a 'slide-the-mic-in' mount, rather than a squeeze and grip. Even still, it keeps the ST-810 nice and snug, and is of itself made of good quality materials.There's a clamp-mounted pop filter and also an anti-wind foam cap, and they both do a serviceable job. The pop filter is a little too small compared to that of my usual InnoGear filter, but the ST-810 is also of smaller dimensions to my previous microphone, so it still compliments well.I swapped out the pop filter for the anti-wind foam cap, which fits on nice and snug, and isn't of the over stretched variety you will usually find with 'cheap' caps. It also does the job it's intended for, which, is always the main focus.The ST-810 comes with a USB-A to USB-B cable, and a decent length one at that, and once the ST-810 was plugged in, my Windows PC picked it up immediately.The ST-810 provides sample resolutions up to 24bit/96kHz, with a 16mm back-electret capsule with a frequency response of 30Hz-16kHz, and as such gives the mic a full, warm sound that provides presence without adding any harshness.Don't get me wrong, the ST-810 isn't a Rode NT, but that's also more than double the price of the ST-810. What you do get, is a great value, and really great sounding microphone for under £50, that for podcasting, gameplay/vlogging videos and the like, will more than suffice.

I purchased this microphone for my small podcast studio, and I have to say that I am more than happy with its performance. But first things first, the delivery was on time, the packaging of high quality and the microphone without the slightest imperfection. The sound is clear and very well balanced, surprising for a microphone in this price range. I was pleased and used it for all my podcasts. Yet the most amazing thing happened when I accidentally broke one of the rubbers from the shock mount.I wrote to the Company hoping to obtain an inexpensive replacement rubber ring. Within two hours, I had received an answer from “Betty” requesting a photo of the shock mount to determine the damage. Well, I thanked “Betty” for the speedy response and send the picture right away. The same day I received another mail telling me that the replacement is on the way and should reach me shortly. No joke it only took two days, and I did not only receive the rubber I hoped for but a brand-new shock mount and Pop filter. I would give this Company ten stars for its quality products and outstanding customer service.

I was devastated as the after I bout the microphone for 63 it went on sale for 53 . I don't really understand why they did that. However I recommend the microphone as it's very good for voice over.

Right out of the Box i was very impressed with how well the Microphone came packaged to me, it came to me supported in real thick foam and individually wrapped so thats a big plus from me! i particularly like the base the mic stands on, its extremely heavy so it wont fall over if accidentally knocked, it has a nice length cable so you can use the mic across a table if need be, it comes with a windscreen and also a pop filter too and a adjustable height stand also, I have already used this to record an Episode of a podcast i am a host of (Makers International Podcast) and will be using it on my YouTube channel (JP Woodwork) for voice overs in the future........ I have only found a couple of down sides to this Mic and that is that there is no LED's to let you know there is power going to it but that is just me being picky, over all it is great for the price and i would and will be recommending it to people

After watching few YouTube videos I decided to buy this microphone. My main use for it is on making short support / tutorial videos for my clients. My only concerns were about putting the mic facing the mouth, not an easy thing to do when you record videos of your screen having the mic on the way, fortunately the audio still good even when putting the mic on the side of your mouth. 10 out of 10for this microphone!

I've since upgraded to a HyperX microphone, but this one served me well when I first started streaming and didn't have the funds for anything too expensive.It picks up your voice well from a distance, but I'd advise to invest in a good mic arm. Having the mic right by your mouth will do the quality of the output so much better than anything else you can do.Make sure to have it set to 48KHz as well as set to that in OBS if you're streaming. Having them different from each other can cause sound bugs, which I've experienced and didn't realise this was the simple fix I needed.

I've been a voice DJ for 30 years. This was bought to improve the tiny boom mic i had as well as the macbook mic.I was really let down by the quality on this. I was expecting so much better.I've gone back to the Macbook air mic as it was 100x better.Disappointing MIC!

I've had a few chances to use it now and I'm very happy with the product, especially considering how much some of these mics can cost. My friends instantly noticed the difference in the sound quality compared to my headphones mic.It does work on PS4 pro. You just need to go into settings > devices > audio devices then change your input to the USB mic. (Hope this helps. If not you should be able to find a tutorial on YouTube)
