Aesthetically Pleasing...Functionally Sound....But What About The Sound? The UGREEN USB Microphone

[@itscarlosreally]

Yet again, I've been seeing this on my online retail apps. Thank you for reviewing this, Brother Bark. It's an easy skip. My Zoom ZDM-1 still reigns supreme. Merry Christmas!

[@kennhern]

Ugreen is good with their cables and adapters, tho a bit expensive than OEM ones. But with their microphones? Ez skip

[@itscarlosreally]

@@kennhern oh, definitely. My XLR and USB-C cables are all Ugreen. I even have a 100W charging brick. Solid stuff.

[@ObscureMics]

Ayyyyyy Carlos! Been a while! Hope you had a great holiday

[@DustinWatts]

Nice background! 😀 Merry Christmas Bark! 🎄 Btw, the mic has a HPF starting @ 1Khz

[@ObscureMics]

Merry Christmas sir!

[@ScottGrammer]

Bad. It sounds BAD. That said, Merry Christmas, Bark!

[@ObscureMics]

lol you’re not wrong. Merry Christmas sir!

[@damolin77]

The Mic sounds like a Am radio.

[@ObscureMics]

Futuristic retro mic

[@TheClayAlanReview2024]

The arm is cool! The noise cancellation is exactly what you said. The sound.. meh. The look is sweet. The thin ring of RGB lights is nice. But yeah, 5 works well.

[@ObscureMics]

Hoping I can open it for a capsule swap

[@TheClayAlanReview2024]

@ Excellent idea for that mic! It’s sleek! Now make it sound sleek!

[@redcabinacoustic-official]

Listening in the gym with cheap earbuds that enhance bass . . . When you switched mics I agree that it sounded thin; especially compared to the Tascam. The more I listened the more I thought it was OK. Better than a toy microphones. I wonder how much post production it would take to sound a bunch better, or I bet you could use some real-time DSP. If you don't have money you need to be creative - or you could swap the capsule - hint hint. peace

[@ObscureMics]

I think I WILL try a cap swap cause I like this mic for some reason

[@redcabinacoustic-official]

Yea, it hits a lot of mics and it is really cheap. Don’t know if you saw my email, I’ll copy to FB.

I got a minilab 3 mdi controller for christmas havent played piano in a decade now but I want to make music now.

[@ObscureMics]

🤘🤘🤘

[@meistudiony]

Sounds like a shure green bullet. The functionality of the mic was well executed, but that sound... ugh. It sounds decent when you're really close to it. But other than that, meh. The Neat bumble bee you put up a few weeks ago was way better sounding at $20. BTW that bumblebee II is now on sale for $16.99 lol.

[@ObscureMics]

I need to do that dang video! Yeah I’m hoping I can crack into this mic and throw a decent capsule in it and see what happens

[@AskMrScience]

I guess if your use is telework meetings or the like, then sure. Otherwise, the market is SO crowded with this sort of thing. I'd pass it up at a garage sale.

[@ObscureMics]

Yeah the market is indeed full

[@Fl4ppers]

Sounds like a kids walkie talkie 😂

[@ObscureMics]

Oooo solid call lol. I want to capsule swap it

[@Fl4ppers]

@@ObscureMics btw Gear4music have Shure Beta 57a and Senny 906 knocks offs for not much. 20 quid a mic here at the minute

[@Fl4ppers]

@@ObscureMics btw gear4music have beta57s and e906 copies for 20 quid right now - might be worth seeing if they're similar price where you are. By their subzero brand

[@fnswrestling]

There’s no reason to buy a mic that sounds like this in 2024 regardless of the price (other than for review purposes obv). Hope you and yours had a good Xmas!

[@ObscureMics]

Capsule swap!!

[@emergingloki]

Shame it fails in the most important area.

[@ObscureMics]

Yep. I’m hoping I can put a different capsule in it

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Might be worse than the latest zealsound crap

[@ObscureMics]

They are close. I’d like to cap swap this

[@Mr.MinerAL]

Pretty, but meh. Insert pop culture reference to a similar famous human here... Candidate for diaphragm switch?

[@ObscureMics]

If I can get into it without destroying it…I’d like to
