The stand is nice and hefty enough
This little guy works well enough. No complaints. Tabletop use; plugs into my keyboard. The stand is nice and hefty enough. Cable is a bit on the short side, but there's no perfect cable length, after all - so no points docked for that.

Works with Windows 10 Cortana
The mic works great and is nice and small and easy to position. You can speak normally and don't have to raise your voice. It's working well with Windows 10 Cortana.

but people on the other side of my web conferences say it sounds great.
No complaints here. I haven't listened to a recording of myself on it yet, but people on the other side of my web conferences say it sounds great.

Good with Cortana
Works well with Windows 10 Cortana. Windows still warns you that it may not work. But rest assured that it does.

Better alternatives out there
Having used this microphone for 2 years, I can safetly say this is a robust accessory which if used for communication or gaming only, will meet the needs of the user. The sound quality is not great, and with that I believe the product is overpriced.At the time of my purchase, I paid £25 for mine, however the new price brings it up to the price of a Blue Snowball which I believe is a much superior microphone. The sound quality also sounds quite tinny and picks up backhground noise.The build quality was very good, with a strong magnetic base to hold the microphone to it's stand. The cable from the male usb end to the microphone however is quite thin. I imagine with frequent movement that this might become an issue.If you're not planning on recording videos or audio footage, then this microphone will meet your needs. If you're looking for a microphone for editing or video production, then I cannot recommend this microphone. The quality, in my opinion, does not justify the price.

Great microphone with great sound - and great value for money.
Very good microphone, and certainly is very good value for money. The sound is clear but you will have to adjust the gain on your computer to your liking. If you have it too high it will pick up lots of background noise, if you have it too low you obviously won't be able to hear anything/too little.The microphone is a perfect size and just sits in the corner of my desk. No need for an ugly boom arm (personal preference), and picks up my voice from just sitting 40-60cm away from it.One downside is the very short USB cable, this microphone is designed to be plugged into a laptop, and so the cable doesn't need to be too long. I have a proper PC which sits on the floor under my desk, and so had to buy an extension cable. Luckily I knew prior to purchasing this microphone that the cable with it is short so I didn't have to wait for a new extension cable to arrive before I could use the microphone.I like that the microphone is USB, it is plug and play and I had it working within minutes on my Windows PC. Very quick to setup, no external components required.Overall I think this microphone represents great value for money and has great sound. Great for anyone on a budget, I'll be using this microphone for mainly Skype and Recording, and it is absolutely perfect for that. Really pleased with this purchase.

Good for skype and such, not for professional use.
Got it as a gift.I personally have the Samson Meteor and thought this would be a great gift for someone.To be honest I was a little disappointed by how much noise it picked up from the nearby laptop.You realllllly need to keep it away from any electronics otherwise the fuzzing (possibly from magnetic objects near it) is just too much for comfortable hearing.Other than that, the quality is quite good if you have a good mounting point.Product feels quite premium also.if you can, throw a few extra pounds into the purchase and get a Samson Meteor. best budget mic on the market (in my opinion)

this mic clears Windows 7.0 hardware faults for mic and speaker for company skype calls
decent range and audio quality, allows conference calls on skype during lockdown. most laptops have very directional mics that make comms difficult when you have multiple folks in the room with you, bit pricey for what it is but compact and not unsightly

Very easy to install (if it worked)
Very easy to install (if it worked). All I get from it is a very deafening buzz, tried turning volume down which stops the buzz but also stops all sound. I have tried installing it more than once, instructions aren't clear. What Chinese instructions are? Can't get to Post Office at the moment to send it back, plus would have to pay postage charges again.
