Great sound quality and decent build quality

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2024

Verified Purchase

While the main body of the microphone is mostly plastic, the stand is a very sturdy metal and has a thread for mounting to a boom arm. The sound quality is very premium for the currently $50 price tag. Its a great value for people doing basic content creation, streaming or for people who just want a better sound quality than their built-in microphone. It also comes with a braided USB-C cable.

Great mic, but they need better service and some minor accessories

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

I got this so we could make live video with high quality audio using a cell phone. We might be playing music on a mountaintop or ridgeline one week and in a city park the next week.

This mic is awesome, and it works well with a Samsung Note20 5G Android phone. Excellent sound, in stereo, no worries connecting (with a simple adapter), and only minimal stuff to haul in when we make a recording.

Why only 4 stars?

I tried contacting tech support to see if it would work with my phone and the only response was that they would contact me in one or two days. That was last week. Don't count on getting tech support.

It does not come with a wind screen. Just a bit of foam or fake fur would have done the trick. Wind noise can be quite considerable. Still, I don't consider this a major problem because I still might be able to find a good one that fits. If nothing else I can break out the sewing kit and make something or just use an old sock, but the sound quality would suffer.

It does not come with a pop filter. This is not a problem for me, but if you are speaking directly into it you will probably want one. Not a major issue, since you can buy a freestanding pop filter, just one more thing they seem not to have thought about.

Overall this is an excellent product. I am glad I bought it.

High quality for good price

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

The sound from this mic is great quality for a USB interface. It has multiple audio reception options, a gain control, and push button mute. It includes a stand but the screw on the mount isn't the same size as my XLR boom stand so I can't use it for that, not that I expected it.

Great for the price

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023

Verified Purchase

Sounds really good, it is really loud so you only have to turn it down, which is much better than amplifying. It is probably as good as other mics, it is just completely made from plastic. The build quality is cheap, but the internal parts are just as good as the all metal mics. That's where the company saves money. The USB C is right angle, so you might want to get a replacement but the whole thing is good.

Nothing but static/crackling noise

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Verified Purchase

I’ve bought this JLAB Talk USB Microphone about seven months ago and I’ve been trying endlessly to find a fix to the constant static/crackling sound from this microphone. Unfortunately, couldn’t find a solution. The cable it comes with is just plain bad. The cable picks up anything. I even tried the ferrite choke beads and that didn’t work. I have tried 2 USB-C cables to try and see if it will remove the noise and even tried to use filters to try and remove it, to no avail.
I really can’t recommend this (or the JLAB Talk Go) USB microphone at all. Look elsewhere.

Do not buy this if you want a mic that lasts. Had it maybe 6 months and then it would add static to my recording and wouldn't allow me to hear playback unless it was unplugged.

Using for podcast- excellent quality for price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 14, 2024

Bought this after having had to return a different microphone from another brand that didn't work so was slightly sceptical however this went above and beyond my expectations. It arrived very quickly with super clear instructions so as I could easily connect to my laptop and begin. The sound quality is excellent for the price I paid and I have already recommended it to my podcast partner.

Auf der Suche nach dem passenden Micro für meinen "Magyar Vizsla Vibes"-Podcast, bin ich auf JLAB gestoßen. Die Handhabung ist einfach, die Soundqualität überragend und die verschiedenen Aufnahme-Charakteristika passen perfekt zu meinen Ansprüchen. Zusätzlich erfreut mich das Micro mit einer hochwertigen Verarbeitung und einer Optik, die sich wohltuend von so vielen anderen Marktbegleiter-Produkten abhebt.
