What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Razer Seiren Professional-Grade High-Definition Studio Sound USB Digital Microphone
  • The microphone looks beautiful and works flawlessly.
  • The mic is a heavy steel construction - the thing is solid and looks like it could survive being dropped onto concrete without a problem.
  • The included stand is heavy and holds the mic well.
  • This product is very sturdy, and heavy. I feel like it will last a very long time.
  • They are a bit more fragile and almost always require external power.

What customers say about "Features"
Razer Seiren Professional-Grade High-Definition Studio Sound USB Digital Microphone
  • This microphone markets polar patterns as recording patterns.
  • Good frequency range, great product. Crisp highs and frequency laden.
  • The different recording modes are a great feature - it allows the mic to be very versatile in different settings.
  • The Seiren has some neat features, like the audio jack and the volume dial, but ultimately it is just a pretty USB microphone.
  • Polar patterns are completely useless on this microphone since anyone who would properly be in a situation to use a polar pattern would use many microphones to properly get the best sound.
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.
