Another great product from Beyerdynamic!

Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2023

Coming off a pair of Custom One Pros and their microphone I am stunned by how bad that previous microphone was. Able to peak the last one with a light increase in speaking volume; this one however I can give a full yell and not peak it out in the slightest all while maintaining a clear transmission of audio!

Mic good, stand bad

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023

Included cable has buzzing. Adapter is difficult to get on and off. Mic doesn't stay on included stand. Mute button annoyingly blinks. Proximity effect is a blessing and a curse, sounding warm up close and tinny when you go back slightly. No complaints on the pop filter.

Sounds better than the blue yeti and is comparable to my Beyerdynamic M 88 TG which has the same proximity effect. This sounds more clear but perhaps more compressed by comparison.

I keep both knobs at 12 o'clock and lowered the input in windows sound settings to find the right balance. I like this mic but I also have many grievances.

Great portable recording mic, easy to set up and use.

I love, love, LOVE this mic. Looks and feels really nice. Great quality! It was so simple to use, literally plug and play. Have tried it with both my PC and phone (using an adapter - not included) and it worked great with both. The instruction manual was concise and clear. You'll have to play with the settings to get your perfect sound but it isn't complicated. Recording was clear and concise when I realized I needed to be closer to the mic and directly in front of it. I also love that an adapter is included to mount it on a stand. I am very happy with this product and look forward to getting lots of use out of it.

Very clear

This mic is so clear that it makes everyone say how that is how my voice sounds in person. The only issue I have with the mic is that it picks up noise from multiple angles. This being the case I had to buy headphones if I wanted to talk in discord and play games, with my ears being super sensitive I didn't like that. I also wish they had a foam screen for the mic to give other options than their little screen that you can attach to it. I also would have liked to see better integration with the mic stand. This way you could swivel the mic without having to worry about damaging the cord in the back. Other than my pickiness the mic is (MUAH) perfect.

Robust USB-A microphone option (but a bit expensive)

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021

This is a good, solidly built microphone that works well with the provided USB-C to USB-A cable.
It is quite good for calls and audio recordings on the laptop and phone (android).
For USB-C and lightning ports, a second adapter should be attached. The microphone doesn't seem to work with any other cables (except the included orange cable). I would buy this again, but probably on sale.

Great product! I wish there was more control of the gain. There is only a switch for high and low gain and no knob to get it just right. Overall I love the design and the USB C is a welcomed changed when everything else, including the newest offerings from Blue are micro usb. Not disappointed for the price. Unfortunately you can use a usb c to usb c cable with this device for some reason.

All my friends are happy because they can hear me well now!

Minor flaw: if you touch the cable on the back of the mic it might disconnect. Might be a defective unit, but I didn't bother replacing it, works well enough for me.

Mic getting disconnected randomly...

What can I say, having some Beyerdynamic DT 1990s and loving them til this day I thought I couldn't go wrong with the Beyerdynamic Fox, so I went ahead and bought it. Boy was I wrong...initially it was nice, clear voice and sturdy and now not even a year in it disconnects the mic from the PC, sounds robotic at times, and the top part w the grills of the casing got loose. I've tried using diff cables but same result. It seems to wobble ever so slightly where the usb-c is plugged in. I wouldn't say stay away from this mic but maybe be wary of the same problems...it's a great mic WHEN it works.

Excellent on Windows after a 2nd try. If it's too quiet, get a replacement, don't troubleshoot.

I use this mic with a generic Windows gaming laptop, just for Zoom meetings and online interviews. The first unit I received was extremely quiet, no matter what settings. If I increased volume, there was excessive hiss and little voice. If this happens to you, don't waste any time troubleshooting it. Just return it as defective, and Amazon will rush out a replacement.

When my first Fox was too quiet, I wasted two evenings troubleshooting, learning all of Windows' audio settings, experimenting with open source software (asio4all, peaceeq, obs, audacity and voicemeeter). It was still insensitive and full of hiss. The device Properties indicated a driver that was NOT "Generic USB Audio" (I forget the name the driver had, it was a single word).

I returned it as defective, and Amazon rushed out a new one. This time, Windows installed the proper generic USB device drivers, and the mic sounds FANTASTIC, just like you'll hear in video reviews, with no adjustment. I have it sitting on my desk, about 30 inches away, and it sounds wonderful with the High gain switch on. If I switch to Low gain and hold it 10 inches away from my face (podcaster style), it sounds just a you expect: excellent, detailed, premium.

One star off for a USB-C device that is INCOMPATIBLE WITH USB-C 3.0. I can't plug this into my usb-c ports with my usb-c 3.0 cable. It INSISTS on a 2.0 cable. That said, it works with any usb-c to a 2.0 cable, I'm using the one that came with my phone. I also confirmed that it works with my USB-C ports using a USB-A to C OTG cable, as well as a USB-C 3.0 4 port hub. So, you'll need a dongle sometimes, but it still works.

I love the mic it sounds great for a usb mic and overall super easy controls. My main problem is u cant change the gain control to a certain % its only high and low. U can also easly save up 20 dollars to get a better mic that u can change everything like gain control
