Audio-Technica AT2020USB+V Limited Edition Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

I use this every day for video conferences along with a boom mount, and a pop filter. This is the first thing everyone should do to improve their online meetings. Note: If you ever plan on using more than one mic (like a podcast w/ a guest), get something with an XLR connection, not USB.

Great product

Product is just not as advertised.To begin with:All instructions arrive in Chinese.The plastic microphone holder is very cheap and fragile, it's also packaged in a superfluous faux-leather pouch that had to increase cost of goods but provides no utility. The microphone holder will break VERY easily, handle with great care!It provides NO stand or ability to use the microphone as-is. Unless you have a screw top microphone tripod, you can't use the microphone as it cannot stand up properly on its own AT ALL, in one of the dumbest designs in history. The microphone is UNUSABLE as-is you MUST purchase additional items just to make the microphone stand up to receive sound.Then you finally plug in the microphone, download the drivers (I had to download mine manually) and then try it out AND....actually not much better AT ALL than just my regular laptop microphone! There is NO tone control, or mixing abilities at all and the sound is largely FLAT and the microphone must be very, very close to catch full sound. Adjusting recording volumes just creates hiss.IT'S JUNK. IT'S A TOY. IT'S NOT A SERIOUS PRODUCT. THE SOUND QUALITY IS LOUSY.Cheaply made, mass-produced and arrives largely unusable unless you buy other accessories. When trying to assess sound quality you have NO SUPPORT. No customer service line, no web site and all instructions in Chinese.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

Went with the RODE NT USB instead.

The AT2020 is already a top quality voice acting and video call microphone, but the chrome finish gives it a beautiful flare and professional look. The audio quality is wonderful, and easy for anyone to set up with any audio recording program and easy to set up on discord or facebook. Highly recommend this product, it even arrived a week early, huge thanks to the seller and amazon delivery driver.

I expected higher quality from this microphone as I’m paying $200 dollars for this ... not worth it
