Great USB-C Mic for Android cell phones and tablets
I have found that this is a perfect component for a transcription setup that the hard of hearing and deaf find very helpful. We initially deployed this at work for one of my deaf employees and I deployed one in my personal life for my father-in-law who had lost his hearing. By using an android tablet with a USB-C connector, and connecting this mic, I was able to use the Google transcription app to provide a running dialogue of things happening around them both. The microphones on cell phones and tablets are horrible if we’re all honest, this made the setup useful. I would easily recommend this to anyone needing a usb-c mic.

Works fine , with good clarity, 0 disconnect
it is working great without any fuss, kept below my monitor about a hands distance . This is for regular office use, as the laptop microphone replacement.

Works for phone not computer
It worked for my cell but not my laptop regardless of what I did to the settings. Disappointmented as that is what I bought it for. Sent it back for refund.

Worked like a charm!!
Used this to allow a remote poker player join a group of 7 other guys. Worked perfectly to pick up the entire room flawlessly. Highly recommend.

Capitação de áudio muito abaixo
Eu comprei para um projeto em que captaria áudio ambiente para formar uma “nuvem de palavras” de hora em hora por meio de um script em Python, mas a qualidade da captação se mostrou muito abaixo e tive que proceder com a devolução do item.

Okay when combined with software app noise cancellation
It’s a decent microphone from the many others I tested and returned back. This mic is very sensitive and catches sounds from far, noise cancellation is very poor though. But when combined with the recent noise suppression feature from Microsoft Teams, it’s working very well for my WFH meetings

Too quiet with no way to increase gain
I really wanted this mic to work! But even speaking directly into it, the audio is too quiet to be useful. And there is no way to increase the gain enough to make a difference.

poor quality, doesn’t work properly
When plugged into a MacBook Air, we tested the microphone on Zoom and in Apples settings. Both ways, the playback from us speaking into the microphone was so quiet, we could barely hear ourselves. This defeats the entire purpose of a microphone like this. The default speakers on the MacBook do a much better job of picking up sound than this product does. Do not purchase.

Terrible sorely disappointed. Can’t return, only replaced.
The media could not be loaded.
I bought it, reading the reviews. Don’t know if mine is defective… I can’t choose zero stars… Worst gadget of audio technica. Actually very small, Matchbox sized. Very poor pickup. Have to be very close to it… And guys, it can only be replaced, not returned… Total waste so far. Awaiting the replacement, will see… Hoping for the best…

Needs gain boost for conference room
Works great. For a conference room application it’s not very loud on default settings. Had to go to windows sound settings and turn on automatic gain control (AGC) to boost it. After that it did much better.
