CAD Audio USB U2 Stereo Headphones with Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Un peu encombrant pour l'usage que je souhaitais en faire. Cependant, le son transmis est clair, même à distance (raisonnablement). Attention cependant, un éclairage sur la base du micro est présent et ne se voit pas sur les photos.

Excellent sound and mic, very pleased with this purchase, I use them for voice overs

good

It's a cheap Chinese microphone with more gain than the really cheap ones They sound pretty good. The people reporting there is low gain are probably trying to use it like a boundary mic. I would say it's 30db gain, most of the cheap mics are 20db. I don't think they should have included the ridiculous desktop tripod, but it's not worth docking a star, it's designed for a mic scissor stand. Sadly it does not do 48KHz, it will only do 192KHz so it loses 2 stars, though I don't know if that matters so I will revisit this. Just because it says it's 192KHz doesn't mean it's interrupting at 192KHz.

For my win10 PC connected to my flatscreen in my living room (lets call it a HTPC+), I love using Cortana with this microphone. My constraints were that it had to perform like the amazon echo (eg. omni-directional, work from a large distance, etc), but it needed to be much cheaper than the echo dot itself. At the time of writing, echo dot was ~$50 and this mic was ~$25 In my opinion, the mic works great. For example: I spoke "hey cortana ...show me images of el conquistador in puerto rico" (which, by the way, is an awesome place) as well as other visually interactive phrases ("...start subnautica", "...how do I fix a toilet", etc) and it picked up every word of my very american voice from 15ft away from center. The mic is advertised as omni-directional, but it has a swivel head which makes it seem directional. Regardless, I stood 15ft away then 7 feet off from center (ie. 25 degree angle from the mic according to some trigonometry) and cortana was also able to interpret what I was saying without issue. The device also "looks" wide, but fit comfortably into my usb hub without interfering with my other plugs. Some caveats: 1) this device has a 3.5 jack for headphones; if you use it only as a microphone, be sure to disable this device as a speaker in device manager. 2) be sure to use a powered USB hub. I received the error "USB controller resource exceeded" after I plugged in the mic, even with my powered USB hub. I have an xbox wireless receiver, a keyboard dongle, and a bluetooth dongle plugged in there already. After a bit of research, I realized I was plugged into a USB-3 port on the PC; indicated by a blue-colored USB port. I moved the USB hub over to a USB-2 port on the PC, indicated by a non-blue-colored USB port, and everything seemed to work ok eg. keyboard, xbox controller, mic. Admittedly, I never really stress all peripherals at once. Next step for me is to try some cortana scripts. Happy New Year!
