    Great sound quality and simple to use
    5 Stars
    Great sound quality and simple to use
    I’m super happy! It is heavy in the hands and I LIKE that! It’s really simple to use. The audio quality on my Zoom meetings have been dramatically improved.Before I started using it for my Zoom meetings I tested it. I tried all settings and played a lot with the mic gain. For me , it works using it with the speech option and gain set to 5. When I use it with the gain set to 6 my voice is clearer and deeper but it has too much noise for my taste. So I set it to 5 and was more than pleased with the audio quality.How did I test it? I used the voice memo app in my Mac. And I started recording saying something like “this is a test with the mic in guitar setting and gain set to 6...” and I continued changing the settings while still recording. After I tried all settings, I knew that the speech option was the best for me. After that, I continued recording my voice and testing the different gain levels. It was like “now testing speech with gain in five, (switched it to six), now testing speech with the gain set to six( or four, three...). It was a little of work but I enjoyed it because I know how people is going to listen to my voice.

    Yo lo ocupo para grabarme tocando la batería y me ha gustado mucho. Mejoró mucho el sonido de mis videos y es muy fácil de usar. Sin duda lo puedes ocupar para muchas más cosas. El único pero que le encuentro es que los cables que trae son muy cortos y me gustaría que fuera usb C.

Arriva già con tre cavi per poterlo collegare ovunque, c’è il cavo per collegarlo direttamente all’iPhone, in tre secondi si scaricano le applicazioni che servono per fare video o registrare l’audio.sono davvero contenta di questo nuovo acquisto
