UPDATE: I installed the mic screw mount upside down, so that’s why its loose!
I am reviewing the Maono Portable USB Gaming Microphone Kit ( AU-PM461TR) ( https://amzn.to/34BhWJQ ) that i bought for $27.

I bought this USB mic so I dont have to be tethered to a lapel mic when narrating videos or presentations. Its an inexpensive improvement over head set mic as you can place it on the desk and be about 12-20 inches from it.
I use it in conjunction with my Sony music headphones ( https://amzn.to/3e1ZFIE ) so there is no feedback issues on my calls. Check out my uploaded video for a comparison test between my gaming headset, laptop mic, and lapel mic.
PRO:
- Good clear audio recording from USB connection.
- Simple to setup and light weight
- Gain control knob in front of the mic to increase recording volume.
- Valued priced
CON:
- Gain control does not mute mic – no mute button.
- Included tripod and mount works
- USB only
Overall good value for the quality of recording of the mic. You can spend $100+ for other USB mics with more controls, but if you just need a good mic to narrate a Powerpoint or video, and dont want to wear a mic, this may be a good option for you.
