CVL-2230

Excellent build and mic quality. Heavy weight. Solid on desk stand that comes with it and works well on a desk so no need to buy an arm. Video call clients like the sound over other mics eg headsets and laptop mics. Used it since before Christmas. Mic volume works. Switching between cardiod (front facing mic) for chatting and Omnidirectional for transcribing all voices, works well if you have loudspeaker behind the mic and equal distance both sides between you and the speaker. Will appear as a sound out device (because you can connect a headphone or speaker to it but don't have to) so you need to reselect speakers after plugging it in. Lights are a gimmick but you can switch it off. No echo rep reported in use. Love it. Great value too

better than the mic on my pc camera. the stand is good and weighty but ive fitted on a flex arm from temu lookin and sounding good

Brilliant microphone for the money. Seems very well put together and looks good too.

Very good quality

Bought this mic for podcasting (anchor.fm/playyourpods) as the world starts to open up a bit, I can start doing face to face work so needed a mic that could do omnidirectional, and I was reluctant to pay Blue prices. Before, I was using a gaming headset over zoom, and whilst the quality was fine, was looking to upscale a bit as well. Took a punt thinking that even if it wasn't tip top quality, at least I hadn't spent the earth...and my life, what an immediate difference. The fact that I can get real time feedback through the earbuds is super helpful, might need to fiddle ever so slightly with the mic volume, but having at 12 o'clock seems to be about right for having it in the Cardioid setting. The last couple of episodes of the podcast where I've used this mic, I'd argue, have been the best quality audio I've put out. This mic honestly behaves and performs beyond it's price tag as far as I'm concerned, little bit of background noise and echo pick up, but nowhere near as bad as I've had with a mic I had previously. Highly recommended
