What customers say about "Features"
Audio-Technica ATR2500-USB Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone
  • The recording quality is amazing. And the cardioid pattern is amazing.
  • Super easy hook up, no software to download, and I'm leaving it on all day as my speech recognition learns my voice pattern.
  • Great range of frequency response.
  • This product produces a very decent sound quality across a good frequency range.
  • Frequency response is excellent, distortion remarkably low.
Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac
  • Simple to use and records great sound. I use it to record podcasts and the multiple recording patterns are a godsend. I love this mic.
  • There are manual switches for both gain and recording patterns - stereo, omni, cardioid, and bi-directional.
  • It’s a very sensitive microphone, it picks up a lot of low and mid frequencies.
  • It also features a 3.5mm standard audio jack port which allows you to plug in earphones to get real time monitoring. I really like it.
  • Amount of background noise and static detracts from what should be professional quality.
