JLab Talk Pro USB Microphone, USB-C Output, Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Stereo, Bidirectional, 192k Sample Rate, 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Response, Volume, Gain Control, Quick Mute, Plug & Play

I bought this for my son to replace a dying microphone. He loves it for the recording capabilities and weight. His old microphone was too heavy to use with a microphone arm. This one was fairly light. It goes with a short stand to use on a tabletop or desk. The stand is easily removable so you can use other types of stands. Unfortunately his computer did not recognize this plug n play mic. There's nothing to download to make it work. I decided to replace his usb wire that came in the box with another one and "wallah", it worked! It's an older computer, so perhaps that played into it not working out of the box. It worked on newer laptops and computers in my home. There are rgb lights that might be nice for gamers. My son felt distracted by it. We eventually taped up all lights with black wiring tape because it's constantly on for mute and direction types. The mute button is an important feature. No need to unplug the mic or hassle with the computer to do it. All controls are on the mic itself. My son uses his mic for gaming and zooming for school. He has used it to do recordings for school projects and finds that it does it's job superbly. He's picky so that says a lot. And he takes a long time researching his electronics. We've had this mic for awhile already and it's still going. He uses it for about 12 to 16 hours a day, everyday.

I replaced my (borrowed) high end Schure mic and Auphonix screen/mic guard with the JLab Talk Pro. I'm very pleased and my podcast partner/producer agrees that the fidelity is not diminished in any way. A full, rich, studio quality sound blows my Jabra top tier headset out of the water. Easy to use, unobtrusive. Multi-vocal direction options - single user (very directed sound input), two user, group, room. And...you don't have to be one inch from the mic to get the full tonal rich sound thus it's unobtrusive, visually for folks on the other side of a video call.

So full disclosure: in my first attempts to set up this microphone, it did not work. It would not connect to any of my devices and I found out that if I used a different USB-C cable, something other than the cable provided, the Microphone would work; however, it sounded terrible, it would peak regardless of my gain or volume settings, it would have this metallic quality to the sound and it was so very muffled and no changing the settings would fix it. I assumed that was how the microphone was supposed to sound and that the cable was broken. I ended up submitting a return request but a few days later the PC I had been using, a rather old one at that, died. Over the memorial day weekend, while the ups office was closed, I built and assembled a new PC, and since the Microphone was still here, I set it up again, giving it the benefit of the doubt. It was the right call. The microphone sounds lovely, the gain works perfectly find and now instead of that metallic sound with the high pitch whine, I get this full warm tone to everything and it's just lovely, a great microphone and one that I can recommend alongside Microphones like the Yeti from Blue Microphone or the Quadcast from HyperX. However, buy this microphone at your own risk, I had a terrible first experience, and giving the microphone a second try was not an easy decision. When the Microphone works, it works great but when your computer isn't compatible with it, you would think it was some cheap 20 dollar microphone.

I am really happy about this purchase. I am on zoom approx 6-8 hours a day. I have always used headsets, but the problem I was running into was that after 6+ hours on the phone I was losing my voice. I figured our that while wearing headphone with passive noise canceling I was speaking at a higher volume to compensate for not hearing my voice. This microphone has changed that completely. I am speaking at a normal tone or even lower than usual, and when I go back and listen to my zoom meeting it is crystal clear. Do not hesitate if you are on the fence about buying the PRO or one mode lower. This will be fantastic for work. I cannot speak to musical production.

I did a lot of research for a microphone to use for teaching, online gaming and recording. I finally setting on the Jalb TalkPro. The microphone arrived on time and looked great. Well organized package and simple set up instructions. When I followed the steps the the computer did not recognize the device. The mic also would not unmute. When I pushed the button nothing happened and it stayed red. I tired trouble shooting and finally reached out for help. I emailed Jlab asked for help. I got. a message it might take a while to get back to me due to Covid. (no problem, I get it). I then reached out to Amazon for a return when it lead me to work with one of their techs. Long story short that process took over an hour and I left very frustrated (not Jlab's falut). I returned the first mic and orders a second. That one came on time as well. looking to be in great shape. This one would unmute I could tell the mic was picking up sounds but again my computer (a MacBookpro) was not recognizing the mic. like the first time I tired on a second computer with the same problems. During this time of trouble shooting the mic stoped picking up sounds and put itself on mute and would not unmute. That day Jlab got back to me I explained the problem and without any trouble shooting just said I got a faulty unit and should ask for a replacement. I emailed back saying I was already on my second mic and think this project is not a good one. They said they do not believe their projects are bad and will pass on my story to another department. I returned the mic and then went to a different brand and when that came it worked. No problems. Jlab sent me two bad mics in a row and was professional with costumer service but did not try to keep me as a costumer. There are many great reviews for this product. S0 I would say order with caution.

Pedazo de micro, tiene un sonido brutal, hay que ponerle un protector de espuma o algo por que te va a captar cualquier ruido. Muy buen sonido y buena ganay, además es muy bonito.

The JLab Talk Pro USB Microphone delivers excellent audio quality with a range of features that make it perfect for various uses, from podcasting and streaming to gaming and video calls. What I liked: Professional Quality Sound: The condenser mic captures crystal-clear audio, making my recordings sound professional. Versatile Modes: The 4 directional pattern modes (cardioid, omnidirectional, stereo, and bidirectional) allow flexibility for solo or group recordings. Plug & Play: The USB-C connection made setup effortless. No drivers or extra equipment needed—just plug it into my PC, and I was ready to go. Volume Control: The built-in volume knob is convenient for quick adjustments while recording. Compact Design: It fits neatly on my desk without taking up much space, and the sleek design looks great. What could be improved: While it performs well, I noticed slight sensitivity to background noise in omnidirectional mode, which may require additional soundproofing for optimal results. What I used it for: I’ve used this microphone for gaming, podcasting, and Zoom meetings, and it has consistently delivered high-quality audio. It’s a great all-around mic for anyone looking to upgrade their setup without breaking the bank. Overall, the JLab Talk Pro is an excellent choice for beginners and professionals alike. Highly recommended!

Basically the same as a USB-plugged Yeti Pro, for half the price. I'd venture a guess that this is the best USB microphone on the market. I highly recommend using a powered USB hub with this device, it has a tendency to be finnicky when plugged directly into the PC. If you search online you'll see a lot of complaints about cables, and that it only works with a pristine out-of-the-box cable. Those issues are entirely removed when using a powered hub.

Estuve muy entusiasmado en adquirir este micrófono. Falló la instalación en 3 de 4 laptops (plug & play), hablé a soporte y me dijeron que es el cable, que debo solicitar el cambio. :( La calidad de los acabados es cuestionable. Por el precio que pagué, uno no se espera este tipo de desaciertos.

Rapporto prezzo qualità spacca. Un po' plasticoso ma non ho ricevuto troppi problemi.
