I have beeen a user of the Zeal Condensor Microphone for a few years. I recently purchased there newer version K66 Microphone. I was very happy with the features provided and the quality of the microphone. The noise cancellation option was new and made a great difference while recording.I had an issue with the USB cable but Zeal was quick to give me a set of USB cables as replacement. Very Happy and satisfied with their response.

Good option for phone calls if you work from home or for conferences or meetings, very good for creating voice clips or podcasts, I really recommend it a lot and I wish they sold the replacement of the black cover because my cat ate it :/

ZealSound tabletop USB Microphone Quick Mute Noise Cancel model K66The mic looks and feels nice. Weighted stand makes it unlikely to topple.Connection was easy. Plug cord into mic and into USB on computer or USB-C on Android. I did not test it on iPhone.On my Dell computer, I recorded a little audio using Audacity. Then I compared the sound to my ZealSound wireless lavalier mic V7 pro. At first I had the K66 mic volume high, and there was a noticeable background hiss. Then I turned it down to a lower volume, and the hiss was much less, at an acceptable level for basic recording jobs, about the same as the V7 pro. The voice sound of the K66 was clear and sharp, whereas the V7 pro had a slightly muffled sound. I do not know how they would sound on an iOS machine.I then tested the K66 on my Samsung A33 Android. It connected quickly. Voice recording was excellent! There was virtually no detectable background hiss, and the voice sound was clear and sharp. I do not know why the sound quality is better when recording on the Android.Touching or handling the mike introduced rattling noise, as is the case for most inexpensive mics, I think. And the sound is of course better if the sound source is close to the mic and the recording volume is as low as possible to obtain a good result while reducing background hiss to a minimum. The manual recording level control of the K66 is nice; it eliminates the annoying increase in background noise that begins after a short bit of silence on most mics which have automatic recording volume control.I would recommend this mic if you need a tabletop model, and especially if you want to use your phone for recording. Good value for the money.

Thanks for reaching out to fix issue product is great.

It works amazing, catches all the sounds I need and more! I was confused at first didn’t know I needed headphone plugged into it for it to work but got it!

If I could give this product no stars I would! my microphone has stopped working I have only used it twice. I just got it in May and since May I’ve used it twice! And it’s not working. The instructions just say to use a different cable when using a Mac and I’ve tried every usb-C cable I have and nothing works. But all of the cables actually work themselves so it is the microphone.The instructions say it comes with a 12 month warranty so hopefully I can get a new microphone or my money back!*** REVIEW UPDATE***The company had a sales representative reach out to me who was very understanding and gave me a full refund, I accepted it as an Amazon gift card refund.I greatly appreciate the company for going above and beyond to help meet my request due to the unfortunate situation of my microphone being inoperable. Because the company took the initiative to correct the issue I raised the star rating from 1-3!

I got this microphone to record YouTube videos while gaming and so far it is working great. The volume quality and clarity is better than I expected it to be. It was very easy to set up. I experienced issues at first with not hearing my voice back through my computer but I figured out that in volume settings you have to make sure it isn’t selected on the microphone (unless you want to plug headphones into it and listen that way). So any problems I’ve had, they have been user error and not an issue with the product. I definitely would recommend!

I received and installed this yesterday morning, and it seemed to work fine at first. This evening I smelled an acrid odor in the computer room, and found the included USB A->C cable smoking at the microphone (C) end. I quickly unplugged it, and the USB-C connector just fell apart as it had melted all the through (see photo). I don't know what might have happened if I hadn't been home.It's not clear whether the problem is just the trash-grade USB cable that comes with it, or the microphone itself drawing too much power. However, there's no way I'm going to plug it in again for a test, and risk frying the USB port on my computer. I assume the "FCC - UKCA - CE - RoHS" certification marks stamped on the mic are fraudulent; these no-name overseas manufacturers seem to assume they're just for decoration.Before it melted itself, the installation was indeed plug-and-play and the sound quality was pretty good, so it could be a useful product if safety were simply a concern at any point in the design, manufacturing, and test process.
