Title: Best mic at this price point hands down
Review: Review for 'MAONO USB/XLR Podcast Dynamic Microphone, Studio Mic Kit with Volume Control, Shock Mount, Pop Filter, Ideal for Vocal, Instruments Recording, Voice Over, Live Streaming (HD300T)'This mic was only $50 AND it came with an adjustable stand, pop filter, and shock mount. Buying the accessories separately would cost more than the mic! I didn't try the stand as I purchased a heavy duty SnakeClamp and 5/8" adapter (check them out, seriously, SnakeClamp is amazing!) for my setup which supports the weight of the mic and my headphones.This is a dynamic mic so it is rather quiet (not much gain) but that means it also doesn't pick up background noise as much as a condenser mic would. Additionally it has a supercardioid polar pattern to reject off axis coloration, especially from the sides. Those two aspects combined make it great for rooms where you'll have a little background noise, especially from the side. In my case I have a window mounted A/C unit that I must run continuously in the summer because someone thought a split level house in a desert wouldn't be a problem :/ I still hear the A/C when I am not talking, but it's presence is reduced and since I'm directly in front of the mic my voice completely overshadows it. Discord and Zoom both have background noise cancellation which eliminates it in those applications.Although the sample rate is 44.1/48kHz (the minimum you'd find on any mic worth buying) this is more than enough for voice chat, streaming, etc. Since the mic's bit depth is 16 bit, at 44.1kHz sample rate, the bit rate is 705.6Kbps. At 48kHz sample rate, the bit rate is 768Kbps. An unboosted Discord server's voice channels max out at 96Kbps and a fully boosted one at 384Kbps which is still well below the mic's bit rate output. From what I can find, a Zoom Pro account can have a sample rate as high as 48kHz and this mic reaches that. Basically, unless you're planning on recording in a lossless format such as FLAC, the "low" sample rate of this mic is a non-issue.The bit depth of 16 bits is bare minimum for audio accuracy, and is a minor negative, but again outside of recording this still doesn't have much of an impact as at 24 bits, the bit rate would be 1152Kbps and for anything realtime over the Internet it would be compressed.Though it comes with a pop filter, it's a little bit janky TBH. It works, but does take some fiddling to get set up correctly. Protip: insert the mic into the shock mount, attach the pop filter to the little metal arm, THEN insert the arm+filter assembly into the shock mount.The mic allows for connecting via USB or XLR, and though I haven't tried it, I saw in reviews that both can be used simultaneously if you needed that for some reason. Unlike most (all?) of the other USB/XLR combo mics this one is USB-C on the mic end. The best benefit of this dual output is you can connect the mic directly to your PC via USB, but you also have the option to run it through a mixer or audio interface. So if you're on the go you can connect to your laptop with USB, then at home plug in through XLR. This also opens the door to exploring the world of digital audio if you decide to purchase a mixer/audio interface later. Technically it can connect directly to PC with an XLR to 1/8" adapter cable, but you'll have to basically swallow the mic and max the gain on your PC to hear it. I suspect this would be true for any dynamic mic.tl;dr is that this is probably the best mic you can get at this price point if your use case is streaming, gaming, voice chat, or any other realtime online voice application. The USB+XLR output provides outstanding flexibility and opens the door for anyone new to the audio space to get their feet wet with a mixer or audio interface. If you intend to do recording this is not a good fit. Consider the 'audio-technica ATR2100x-USB' which is a very comparable mic, but with higher bit depth and sample rates.

Title: Good, Cheap Mic with Decent, Cheap Accessories
Review: I'm going to be honest, I mostly got this Mic because a dynamic mic with such a robust accessory package for this price is basically unheard of.Overall, it's been good - though, if you're kind of soft-spoken, keep in mind that dynamic mics require you to get much closer and be a little louder than condensers. The quality, however, is crisp and clear, and the accessories package is ... well, *mostly* good.One thing definitely worth noting is that now, after several months of use, one of the sets of elastics in the shock mount *did* just rot through and snap - and when I say 'sets' I mean both of the ones on the back part of the mount. The front ones are hangin' in there, but I can see they're starting to crack too. I'll definitely need to get, at least, new elastics soon - possibly just a new shock mount if I can't find just the bands.So, if the price seems too good to be true, it probably technically is, haha! But everything else is still functional and working well. Only other issue I've had is a couple of times over the months of use, friends have reported a bad, weird buzzing sound, but unplugging and re-plugging has solved it instantly - overall still quite happy with my purchase and would recommend it.

Title: Good pricing! Bought as a 2nd mic
Review: I don't know much about microphones so was doing some online research.I was previously using my Samson Q2U after having it highly recommended by some YouTuber videos & articles I had read for condenser mics on a budget (which I'd also recommend).I decided to buy another one for my co-host on a passion project podcast, Dorm Dialogues, to use and landed on this one. [This particular microphone is used in the episode about Matt rife lol, anything before that was the Samson]. I love the shock protection integration with the stand and that it comes with a pop filter (the Samson one doesn't, which put me at ~10 bucks more than the given price)I like the overall setup, as well as the heavy base and the adaptable plug-in.As of the time making the post, I'm unsure how audio came out beyond a simple sample test I had done.

Title: Mic stand piece deformed
Review: Everything was great but Iâve tried figuring out why the stand is tilting the microphone. If youâre an artist who genuinely is working towards growing and making a future of it you know your mic setups very well. Every microphone obviously has a different quality and that becomes very useful for us artists. My issues is with this at a constant tilt I have to put extra time and effort into the production of the songs I create bc itâs slanting which even just a tad bit can effect sound and especially clipping issues. Overall itâs an amazing product works perfectly fine but the stand has something in there making it near impossible to fix unless I were to buy a whole new one of which I wouldnât do unless I was provided a free one as a replacement for this current one. (Btw the box also had a hole in the top of it but the packaging from Amazon did not which means your facility shipped me an already damaged product but no worries it still works.)

Review: Para gente que desea buen audio y no tiene mucho dinero es buena alternativa, es ideal para entornos con ruido de fondo por se dinamico (de hecho por esto preferi este a otros modelos de maono), tambien se anda comparando con opciones caras, vengo de un senheiser e835 y este maono se le pone al tu por tu, de hecho me agrada mas como suena mi voz con este maono, es lógico que por xlr se va oir mejor el microfono, pero si no tienes interfaz la verdad el sonido por usb también es muy bueno y profesional creeme no te va defraudar, la latencia para monitorearte es casi nula, se puede decir casi que es cero, un buen detalle de microfono, los accesorios con los que viene hace que sea una buena compra y puede que te ahore comprarte un brazo de micrófono, aunque sea una marca desconocida de dudosa procedencia, el producto es muy bueno, pasemos a algunos aspectos negativos para que vean que no todo es perfecto, el volumen en el que graba por usb si es un poco bajo, pero en edición se arregla esto y como si nada pasara, muchos han hablado de su buena construcción, pero si bien es buena, no es mejor que micrófonos como los shure o audiotecnica, para mi ahà puede quedar a deber, otro detalle son los botones para subir o bajar el volumen, estos si bien sirven para regular el volumen de la monitorización, tambien alteran el volumen de tu dispositivo, lo cual puede ser algo incomodo para algunos, y su ultimo defecto es que es recomendable usarlo con antipop porque si no tienes antipop suenan demasiado explosivas las p , aunque se defiende bien en este aspecto al traer un antipop que se ve muy bien

Review: El sonido es muy bueno, es fácil de usar y capta muy poco ruido, casi me atreverÃa a decir que nada de ruido pero el filtro antipop no queda fijo en su base, seguramente son casos raros de "Fallas" pero nada grave solo por eso doy 4 estrellas, sino serÃan 5
