MAONO USB Condenser Microphone-Studio Mic with Shock Mount, Boom Arm, Software, Mute, Gain Knob, Volume Control for Streaming, Recording, Singing, Podcasting, Content Creation, Audiobooks-PM450

The media could not be loaded. I loved the customization both in sound and looks ( with the RGB) The Maono Link app is a nice feature to have along with the built-in DSP. Being able to adjust your mic settings and take those settings with you to another device that you can connect it to is great. This is a major plus in my books.Pros- DSP ( as mentioned above)*App intergration : It has Compressor, De Esser, Noise gate and High pass adjustments along with preset EQ settings*Sound quality*all equipment needed is provided ex: Boom arm with headphone hanger, Pop filter, Usb C to Usb C cable with USB A Dongle attached* Mix monitorCons- App not fully ready ( not yet compatible with MacOS)* Boom arm and shock mount translate noises into mic.* 3 in 1 knob is a little too clicky, causing noises to reverberate into mic.Still all in all I would sure recommend this mic to people wanting to podcast or game stream. See My video attach to know if you like the audio for content creation. I think it works great for all forms of content creation. I also love that it is plug and play, no interface needed.

I recently got the MAONO PM450S microphone and it’s been a great addition to my setup (I’m using it to record voiceovers for videos).The package comes with everything you need: a filter, arm, cable, and shock mount, so you’re all set right out of the box.The build quality of the mic is really impressive, it has a nice weight to it. I’m actually pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, especially since it’s not an XLR mic. Since it’s a USB mic, I can just connect it to the laptop and start recording (I LOVE the thoughtful USB-C / USB cord lol) Handy headphone jack and mute button on the body.One of my favorite features is the customizable lights on the mic, particularly the breathing effect - it looks very nice, not cheap looking at all (reminded me of my Govee lights).Setting up the mic was a breeze, and you most likely don’t even need to read the manual. However, there are a few customizable functions, like turning on the high pass filter or changing the light modes, that do require reading the instructions.A few downsides: number one is definitely the price – it’s on the expensive side for a USB mic. Likely because it includes all the accessories in the package too. Also, I haven’t been able to play with the software for the mic yet since I couldn’t find the Mac version on their website as of now.Overall, if you’re looking for a high-quality USB mic with great features and easy setup, the MAONO PM450S is a solid choice.

Amazing..my son creating his in room studio for recording music. Easy to put together. The software is good to.b

It definitely records but may not be the best for vocals. It's also possible that it's my space but I can't get rid of the eco. I have tried everything. Different rooms, a closet it's just no good. The only thing I can think of is to foam pad everything.

Great device, no cons

I really want to love this Mike because it looks so professional and is at a price point that I find acceptable. However, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for...Just plug and play without any adjustments I frankly can't really tell if there is a difference in quality between my wireless lav mic versus this condenser mic the quality is very comparable, and if I really had to pick one, I actually would prefer the lav mic which somehow sounds more natural.The product listing advertises the MOANO Link software, which I assume would unlock advanced functionalities, however, when I tried to download the software from the MOANO website, it became clear that this software is not compatible with Mac, which was pretty disappointing.Overall, this mic works well enough, but I feel that I wouldn't consider it a professional condenser mic. The price point makes it pretty affordable, but ultimately I feel you're paying more for looks than for studio sound quality.

The MAONO USB Condenser Microphone is a game-changer! My podcast now sounds so professional, my mom thinks I'm the next radio star. Just kidding, I use this primarily for my gaming microphone. Setup was a breeze—plug and play, baby! The sound quality is crisp, picking up every nuance of my voice (and my dog snoring in the background if the gain is too high). My buddies noticed immediately that I had a new mic, and their first response was, "it sounds like you are IN my ear", which I think is a good thing.The only reason it’s not a five-star? It’s so good that it caught me singing off-key during a game break. If you want a mic that makes you sound like a pro, even if you're not quite there yet, this is it. Just make sure your embarrassing moments are out of range!

The media could not be loaded. This mic surprised me! For the price of this bundle and the audio quality and build of this mic, I like what I see after testing and using it. The Build quality is solid, Audio quality is great with a great level of detail on the mid-highs of your voice. The free software from Maono, The Maono Link does offer so much for this mic that you can use it for so many projects. Overall a really solid purchase.
