This is a pretty good microphone for the price. I wanted it for online Reiki including asmr so I need to be able to include background noise. It initially would literally only hear speech. No matter the other noises made so for anyone wanting this it's fabulous. I was worried I'd have to return it as I needed it to pick up other noises. My son who's a IT uni student and a gamer said its a fantastic microphone and he wished half the people he plays with had one as good as this. He had to in his words reduce the quality in order to make it pick up on asmr sounds. I'm really happy with this purchase. I also bought a microphone fluffy cover for it which goes on nicely. It's a nice clean modern looking microphone. I saw a video online saying it picked up on vibration on the stand well mine would not even pick up on nails on the microphone without changing all the settings with help from somone who knew more then me. Fantastic buy for the sale price !

Far too quiet. Sound quality is fine, but even speaking directly into it with holding it up to 1cm from my mouth, my normal talking volume is far quieter than it should be to convey well over calls. Tried to get around it with software to boost volume, but I will instead get a different one.
