Great Value USB Microphone
XIIVIO SF-777 Cardiod USB MicrophoneWhat you get in the box: The SF-777 Cardiod USB Mic, Shock Collar, Windscreen, Pop Filter, Tripod Stand, InstructionsThe SF-777 is a standard USB Cardiod style microphone. It will be good for podcasting, gaming, conferencing, Skype, etc. It will not make for a good recording microphone for something like singing and guitar, as the pickup range is very narrow. If you're looking for a good, inexpensive option to get started with streaming, or podcasting or something of the sort, and you're not interesting in making things overly complicated, this could be a great choice. While lacking a few features that would really send it over the top, it's basic functionality, along with the included bonuses such as the windscreen and pop filter, should be enough to satisfy most people. It is a USB microphone, so don't expect it to stand up to a Shure SM7B or anything.The microphone itself is extremely light, probably about half the weight of my Fifine K669B. The audio is coming in loud and clear, without any noticable hiss or background interference. The included windscreen and pop filter make for a very professional appearance, over all I'm very happy with the look and feel. It does come with a tripod for desktop use, however I attached it quickly and easily to my boom arm.Pros:Light weight-Easy to use, just plug in and go-Good, clear sound, doesn't pick up a lot of excess noise-Includes Shock Collar-Includes windscreen (approx $11) and a pop filter ($11-15) saving you money on accessories-Can easily be used on a desktop with the provided Tripod base-Can be easily hooked up to a standard boom armCons:-No gain knob on the microphone, one volume level that is controlled by the computer-No onboard mute button-The shock collar is not the best by any means, it holds the microphone well enough right side up, but doesn't really grip the mic so I wouldn't recommend using it upside down unless you do a little work to secure it-The pop filter is a part of the shock collar, meaning if you want to replace either, you have to replace both-Because it's a cardiod microphone, its pickup area is fairly tight, NOT RECOMMENDED for recording guitar and vocals at the same timeI would say that over all, I'm very satisfied with my initial impression. I used the mic for my normal couple days of gaming and chatting with my friends and had no issues. As I mentioned before, I would definitely recommend this too someone looking for a solid budget microphone at a competitive price, the inclusion of the windscreen and pop filter alone add almost $25 in value. My biggest issue is that the shock collar could definitely have been designed better, but all in all performs its basic function of holding the microphone, especially with a little work to secure it a bit better. If you are interested in live streaming, hosting a podcast or just need a decent microphone for Skype or video calling, this could definitely work for you.

Quality Condenser Mic
First of all, I just want to say that this mic is far better than I expected. For under $50, you generally get what you pay for with electronics, especially when you're looking for an all-in-one solution like this microphone. I figured it comes with a stand and filters for under $50, so it's probably going to be "meh".Boy, was I wrong! Since this is a plug and play peripheral, installation on Windows was nearly non-existent--you plug it in and it's ready to go after ~10 seconds.After that, fire up your favorite DAW and get to work. The audio was very crisp and clear, even given a variety of distances from the microphone. There is a hint of background noise, but this is pretty much always the case with sensitive microphones, and be rectified in post.A couple of things to note: this mic is USB powered, which is also how it carries the audio, so you cannot use your own cables as there are no external connectors. This is just fine for my purposes (and probably most other peoples'). The stand is pretty nifty--it uses elastic bands for retention so it's pretty easy to slide the mic in and out for quick access. It might buy you a couple of seconds if you turn the whole assembly upside down, but I wouldn't count on it staying in there under duress (but that shouldn't be a problem in 99.9% of most recording situations).Other than that, I can't recommend this highly enough for the price point. I plan to use it for recording video voiceovers and potentially for streaming video games, and I know it's going to serve me very well!

Decent quality and price
Likes:- Audio quality is pretty good overall, though you'll have to dial in the right microphone gain on your computer.- The cardioid pickup pattern is accurate, and does a very good job mitigating room noise and reflected sound.- Basically "studio quality" audio when compared to a built-in omni mic.- The pop filter is excellent, and really improves audio quality from a speaker positioned very close to the mic. Doesn't alter sound profile really at all, but cuts down on fast breath scratching on the mic during certain sounds.- Includes a wind sock, though the pop filter is better.Dislikes:- The tripod and suspension don't use a standard 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 thread, so you're stuck with this tripod.- The mic is meant to be mounted facing the tripod mount point, but that limits the angle you can use it at - you can't tilt it up to face a speaker from a desk, like you'd probably want to in most cases.- If you flip the mic around so you can angle it up, the pop filter attachment point is in the way and it becomes tricky to position the filter in front of the mic, since it's a small area for the gooseneck to move in. See picture attached.Neutral:- Wind sock works well to cut wind, but also decreases bass response noticeably. Definitely stick to the pop filter if you can.- Overall, I think the audio quality is better from something like the Snowball blue ice mic, and that mic has pickup pattern settings where this one doesn't.- Non-detachable USB cable, which feels a little cheap but also isn't a huge drawback.All in all, there are some better mics available for not much more money, and some not-much-worse mics for much cheaper. But for a mic with suspension and a pop filter, this does hit a pretty good value point - neither the worse nor the slightly-better mics have suspension or filters, which do add a lot of value.

Great starter microphone
I use this mic to do voice over work on my PC. It works well. The sound quality is good. And the wind screen is useful. It might not be studio-quality, but it serves my purposes well, and the price was reasonable.

Easy to use, good quality
This is the one to replace my headset, big release for my head, I am using discord to chat while gaming. So far, my friends are happy with the sound quality, and I am using speaker with this mic. Will try to record see how it performs.

Great mic for a beginner.
Microphone is very quiet. But when you are editing and adjusting the volume. It works great. Honestly. For the price, for a beginner like me. This microphone is a no brainer. Id recommend it.

This product is absolute junk. Do not buy
It took me forever to Rey and figure out how to even get a sound out of this Mic.When I finally figured it out, it has the dullest, most crap sound. There is barely volume from it, no matter how I adjusted the computer volume. Tried different apps, no difference. Do not waste your money. It's the equivalent of speaking into a toilet paper roll.
