ZealSound Studio Recording Microphone, Condenser Broadcast Microphone w/Stand Built-in Sound Card Echo Recording Karaoke Singing for Phone Computer PC Garageband Smule Live Stream & YouTube (Gold)

The media could not be loaded. I am not a techno-geek and I had a little trouble getting the mic to work the way I wanted. I am creating videos for YouTube featuring me singing karaoke. When I was having problems getting started with the mic I simply contacted the ZealSound folks and they bent over backward to give assistance. They even offered to replace the mic if necessary. Customer service at ZealSound gets an A+ from me. So does the mic.Now, here is the little bit of help I want to pass along to you. I do not use special audio recording software for my videos. Recently, I purchased a Logitech c922 HD webcam. I downloaded the free software from the Logitech site and opened up the Realistic audio program that came installed on my Dell Inspiron desktop computer. I am operating Windows 10 Professional. The Logitech software allows me to choose the mic I want to use (either the one that is aboard the webcam or the one plugged into the Realistic audio software (in this case the ZealSound)). The master volume control is cranked up to the max and the system mic was chosen as the input (the ZealSound). Also, the ZealSound mic volume is cranked to the max. The resulting sound is rich and mellow and sounds like a radio DJ. I am impressed by the quality. Thank you ZealSound for making such a professional quality product available to me for such an amazing price (at the time of purchase I received a 25% discount from ZealSound and free shipping through Amazon Prime. You just can't beat that deal anywhere!!!)

Best mic I’ve been looking for a mic with echo and noise cancellation and I’ve got a couple of them but despite of them being more expensive aren’t as good and practical to use.I loved this mic. Would continue to order it if needed before going to a different one.

Just want to start off by saying, I don’t understand the reasoning for the negative reviews. It’s a great budget microphone that functions as intended right out of the box (plug and play). The audio quality is perfect for the price point and is definitely recommended for anyone needing a decent mic on a small budget.

3.5 starts!Quality construction is good! I'd would rate that 4 stars!The price point is fair for 30ish usd.-Now why is not a 5 star product in my opinion?I used this to record myself singing a cover song, mo voice distorted at certain notes, even after recording multiple times at different distances from the mice to avoid the same effect, NOTHING seems to work except to lower the mic input, at that point it's hard to really record something useful to be paired with an instrumentl track.This is good for voice recording, podcasts or simple sound bites.NOT FOR SINGING! I really tried to use it. I did the returning process, but after trying to tune this mic, I lost my returning window. I'll keep it to record voice overs.

I'm a podcaster, and I bought this to do on-site recordings with my phone at an annual event. I have a H4n Pro but it's kinda bulky. I tested this mic at home and it worked great, so I put it away until the event I needed to go to. Now it won't hold a charge, even after charging it overnight, even while plugged in. Back to the search for a portable mic that works with my phone.

My daughter needed to record an audition piece with her viola for an audition. It had to be an unedited video recording. The video on our phones was fine but the audio was not up to par. I really needed something I could plug into my phone to supplement the audio. I was not expecting to get this amazing mic for the price. I assembled the stand in 1 min and then you slide the mic in, voila! So easy to get started. The mic comes with every input you would need. Aux cable, charger, audio hook ups. I could have used my converter for a lightning cable but I decided to use my S9 to record. It was the easiest part of this process. We were in a small studio and there was a strings class next to us. I positioned the mic on the piano out of frame but close to her. This microphone picked up every note and every breath of my daughter but was just far away enough that it didn't capture the sound next door. It was awesome, like it targeted her sound. The sound experience was transformed from using the phone audio. When I used the phone audio the sound volume was lower (proximity) and it missed the highs and lows of the notes. There was also a small amount of white noise. The sound with the microphone was rich and comprehensive. I could not believe the sound it was able to produce. Amazing!

The mic is very sensitive. It is omni directional or barely cardioid. The plus is the isolation stand that comes with it. When I first got it I thought it looked a little on the cheap side, but it turned out to be ok. The sound quality is acceptable, but not the best. When you turn the recording volume up it has a level of floor noise. This is not heard when you are only recording one person close to the mic, but if you are trying to pick up a group conversation you will hear. The manual is not very helpful and has no specs, but at least there is one. It would be great for skype or zoom, recording a podcast but i would avoid using it for recording music, unless its one of your kids or for training. For professional music it is not responsive enough and there background noise is a high. But if you want a good mic it is going to be a few hundred.
