auna MIC-900 USB Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone (Plug & Play, USB Connector & Shockmount) black

This microphone is outstanding for the price. I've had no faults so far after having it for a month, only satisfaction! My friend has a the Blue Snowball microphone which is in the similar price range and the Auna completely trumps it. This may sound stupid but if you've already got a sense of what your voice sounds like when talking, this mic conveys exactly that. The difference between your actual voice and the voice received by this mic is uncanny. Definitely a must have for those who don't want to splash the cash on fancy headsets with built in mics and would rather have some proper, studio quality, German made perfection, for a fraction of the price (Compared to most special, fancy headsets). If you did a comprehensive experiment where you analysed the quality of this mic and other mics that are £100 and upwards, unless you are a complete musical genius or audiophile, you aren't going to notice any difference in quality! There's a reason why there are practically no negative reviews for this microphone, it's because it's perfect, and for the price, a complete steal. Definitely buy this, and don't be dissuaded by the lack of reviews (when compared to other more popular mics) and the overwhelmingly positive feedback, because it really is top stuff! And to add even further, I've bought the 'SoundLAB G122CA 35 mm Foam Microphone Windshield' alongside this and it fits and fully covers the mic fine. I've also bought the adjustable arm that others have bought alongside this microphone and it's fully compatible. And since it's a USB (fine quality for USB too) if you've had problems with white noise and general static sounds in the background when listening back to yourself on your current setup, buying this will void you of any more tiresome white noise. No more may you suffer from inferior microphone quality! May you bask in glory as your peers waste hundreds worth of hard earned cash on wacky headsets with mediocre mics!

Good microphone, seems near enough flat but obviously it can't be perfect for 46 quid. Well shielded, doesn't even pick up phone interference. Can't hear anything remotely like digital noise, when I amplify the background I just hear normal background sounds. Nice and sturdy metal construction on the mic and the shock mount. Comes with an adapter to fit different tripods. Picks up my voice well within a 1 metre range. Further away it just gets quieter. Notes: If you live in an old house where the floors are prone to moving, the shock mount is simply too stiff to help with subsonic vibration. Also the wire is very stiff. I would imagine that changing the elastic in the shock mount would help to reduce the problem a little. I've done a year's worth of student radio and some work on an album release. I think this microphone is a decent starter. Perhaps it's biggest PRO is it doesn't have a digital noise problem. that's pretty huge really, the non flatness is fair and easily made up for with minimal EQ.If you are just doing podcasts there is no immediate need to EQ. If you do screen recordings, you will have to make sure you keep a good vocal volume as it will pick up your keyboard and mouse clicks. It's not awful if you are a bit quiet, you will just have to stop typing to talk.Keyboard presses will produce unwanted bass if you have the microphone on the same surface. It's not a perfect microphone but it's really good value. I recommend this one.

Works great, easy to use and set up. Easy to mount or attach to an arm. Pretty long cable so it could be placed anywhere around a desk. Very clear voice and good pick-up. However with a lack of gain control it does require being very close for it to pick up the full volume of your voice. I use a pop shield and if the mic is any further than 5 inches from my face it has quite a lot of volume drop off. Considering you can get some very good usb mics with gain control that are around the price of, or even cheaper than this, I'd recommend looking for one of those. However this is a good user-friendly starter mic for anyone getting into streaming/making videos/talking online. No comments on studio capability, I haven't tried it.

This mic is great value for money. It's a simple plug-&-play set-up,you don't even have to wait for any drivers to install. In terms of accessories you get everything you need; a shock cradle, a small zip-case for the mic & a mic-stand thread adapter. The mic has a quality feel to it, it's outer finish is all metal & it's heavy too, it really feels like you're holding a serious bit of kit. Most importantly, the sound quality. The sound quality is great! I use the mic for singing & narrating, the sound from the mic is crisp-clear but you also get a warm depth making the mic very well balanced. The polar pattern aids the mic in not picking up virtually any background noise too. For a USB mic & a standard mic in general for that matter, this is well worth what you pay.

Good mic, but the head holder construction and screw is very weak. Never could hold the mic firmly and often needed adjustment. Then the thread died in the first month of use. After that the mic just hangs. Probably will replace.

I finally don't sound like a bowl of cereal being thrown on the ground. Works great for games and skype/teamspeak voice comms. Highly recommended as an alternative to "gaming headsets". Worth the rather high pricetag. Sounds professional. Things I wish people told me when purchasing: Majority of Sound Tests on Youtube are in German due to the headset being produced there, makes it hard to find a decent enough idea of what your voice may sound like. EALLC make a perfect mic stand which works with the Auna, just something to take into account when looking for a stand.

I bought the microphone because I really wanted a good microphone to stream to Twitch and record some videos with some friends of mine. Taking advantage of the sales and the price of the Auna I decided to go ahead and give it a go. Boy was I pleased with buying this. It's so well made that I'm shocked the price is so low for it. The build quality is phenomenal, very sturdy, like a professional microphone should be. Sound quality is brilliant. I absolutely adore this microphone, so glad I purchased it. 10/10

Decent mic for USB use, works quite well for speaking. Can handle vocal work for bands as well. Great price and easy to use. Would recommend as a first mic and to be kept as a backup if you move on to bigger things. For most recording purposes, even handles acoustic guitar really well.
