great price point for a good performance does need external power.

This is a good quality inexpensive microphone for its price. The stand and pop filters and sock are a good bargain. The stand is good overall, and it stays put easily. The shock mount holds the mic with out slipping and the handling noise it pretty minimal. Its a good overall mic, its not too bright, and seems to be clean when you power it. The Included XLR to Headphone jack cable is no good, not that it doesn't work, but you'll want a phantom power XLR jack for this. You can do this by either by supplying 48v phantom power with an inline phantom power adapter, or by using a USB interface which supplies it like in my case with the UM2. In my testing I found that it was just too quiet with say a USB sound card that supplied it with just 5 volts, it improved it but it didn't get anywhere near the UM2's clean input with a true phantom power supply. For me the UM2 is really clean and quiet with this and complements it nicely. The build quality is good, the condenser capsule housing the condenser is plastic, but the condenser itself is larger than you little cheep mic and it preforms pretty well. The metal body is solid and its not to heavy, its in the middle weight wise. The finish is good though, and the grill is pretty sturdy but I'd say it wouldn't be drop proof like some of the expensive ones. It would generally hold up very well though. Inside the PCB is good overall with a little hand soldering to the wire connectors they are wire to pad, so not though hole, and there is little flux and residue with clean component placement. Inside the grill there is some padding for it as well. Combined with the sock or the pop filter it seems to do a good job. Overall the build quality is excellent for the price, and it sounds nice. The price alone is good with out the Mic, I figured if I didn't like it I could upgrade it. Its done well for me with just some quick voice over work and for conferencing and gaming. Its not in Sure or AKG territory, but for the price you can't go wrong.

Professional Sound Quality - Easy Assembly

Once I realized I had to run the signal from this professional-quality mic through a pre-amp/amp, and then into my PC, I loved it. I frequently conduct online meetings and webinars and also do voice-overs and narration for online tutorials. My voice sounds richer and deeper than with the computer-oriented mics I've used before, such as those built into webcams. The boom and easy desk mount make it possible to sit comfortably and bring the mic to me - like the pros on radio do. It was easy to assemble the components, and the suspension prevents vibration. I look forward to impressing my audiences - can't wait for my next opportunity to use my NW-700 Professional Studio Broadcasting mic!

Amazing Sound if you know how to set it up right

Read this and save 3 hours of setup! First, buy the NW-100 amplifier with this microphone - it makes it sound MUCH MUCH better. Second, set up the microphone exactly as shown in the picture. You don't need to use the black sponge cap. Third, download audacity - it's the best audio recording program out there and it's free. Fourth, you will need to change the settings of the microphone in your windows settings. The gain needs to be raised to 20 dB for best results. Fifth, learn how to remove the residual noise in Audacity and you will achieve PERFECTION!! Follow these steps and you will have a professional grade studio for only $50!! Couldn't be happier.

Works Great

I bought this to replace my crappy $5 mic I was using that sounded awful and had lots of problems. My primary use is voice chat in various games and Steam voice chat. I bought a Behringer UMC22 to connect this to and it has worked great. I have had zero problems with the microphone itself, as well as the pop filter. The base (where the mic arm rotates) is the weak point of the mic arm in my case, but when it bent, it was easy enough to fix. This isn't a $50 mic arm, so it will bend if you are rough with it. Still, I can't complain considering that the mic arm, mic, and pop filter all came for less than some mic arms cost. As far as sound quality goes, this mic is no AT2020, but it still kicks the pants off of just about any gaming mic you will find.

A great budget option for podcasting or streaming.

This is a great value for the price. The specs on this mic are identical to most of the budget mics including the BM-800, the MU007, etc. These are mass produced microphones that companies buy and put their logo on. As a condensor microphone, it is way more sensitive than a dynamic microphone and does require power to function. So, if you don't have an audio interface with phantom power, you will need to pick one up for an additional 20 bucks. I don't recommend this mic for singing simply due to the sensitivity being substantially higher due to the cheaper parts. Moderately loud singing without some seriously aware mic technique is prone to hardcore clipping. This is also true for people who like to get loud when recording spoken word. If you're pretty serious about podcasting, I recommend picking up a Behringer Xenyx Mixer which has a built in USB audio interface so you can manage your levels as you record. The shock mount is decent quality. The boom arm gets the job done. The neeweer cord provided does it's job well but an XLR to XlR would provide better quality for you. (As I said, a mixer really comes in handy.)

Great Microphone, bad advertising

So a little bit of background, my turtle beach headset was on its last legs and I was looking for a dedicated microphone that wouldn’t break the bank. My friend ordered a different varient of this microphone and said it was amazing, and I could hear it in his voice while using discord that it was much better quality than his previous microphone. The bass is exceptional and so are the mids and lows. It has a bit of trouble picking up higher frequency so if your a female or under the age of 14 I wouldn’t recommend this microphone unless you have no background noise with your setup such as fans or loud roommates family Ext. Because you’ll need to turn on the microphone boost in the windows sound settings. I tested this with my sister so I’m not just spouting nonsense. You will need a dedicated power supply for this, I recommend the one that is in the suggested items to buy when your looking at the product. Without the power supply the microphone is noticeably lower. That power supply does come with all needed cords, which is something I was wondering myself. All in all I’d give this microphone an 8/10

Great deal if you have a Phantom Power interface.

I've been using the microphone for two days for singing and instrument recording (specifically an acoustic bass), to be so cheap is a great deal, very sensitive response, feels strong shaped and the arm and other accessories included are very good also. I only have two thinks to complain about, first is that Amazon page had mixed NW-700 and NW-800 on the same publication (which i think is now solved) so i was buying a NW-800 (which has a little better frequency range) and since the only difference i saw in the publication was the color, i finished buying the NW-700. Second is that the cable which comes with the package is almost useless if you plan to use this on a semi-professional environment. The cable is a stereo-to-XLR female which loses all the gain from the mic and the only real purpose i can see on it is to connect the mic to a normal PCI/Laptop sound card, and in that case the sound is terribly noisy and low. I had to buy then a XLR-to-XLR cable and using a Line6 UX2 interface with Phantom Power the sound is very good and clear. If you are buying this microphone with musical purposes and you can't spend too much, i highly recommend to buy it with a BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UM2 interface and the XLR-to-XLR cable, that gear is enough for a decent recording.

glad I brought this mic

this mic is great! glad I got it! I've recorded some songs and the quality of the mic is awesome! I'd definitely refer this to anyone who is on a budget.

durable, swing arm, clear, sturdy

I'm not an audio professionalist recorder guy who records professonal audio professionally. I try to convince my son to record videos for his youtube channel and I'd edit them for him because he's said he'd like a channel(can't make video without footage! can't make a video without audio either!) Well I ended up getting this thing and I had to really now what I was buying but I got them and a Behringer Q1202USB 12-Channel Mixer and after that it was adjusting levels. I used OBS and a lot of testing and making fake videos to test all the knobs and junk because man, I don't even know what that board does! I'll tell you that setup though, or maybe this mic, seems pretty damn sweet. This thing has a nice swing arm to it. I've used the clamp of various things. Table top edge, desk(inside the drawer ledge) right now its clamped to a bookshelf(less vibrations on the mike when its not on same surface as where the keyboard is). I've used my laptop mic and everyone seems eh. Always lag problems, never mic problems. I've even had a couple people say that I come across loud, like my mic is loud because no one else says it. So this mic bundled with a good board can do a lot. Good volume effects everything. What if video is great and people are hooked then you hear sudden blaring sound? Takes you out of the moment, so a good mic helps, and personally? I think this is a great mic.
