    Know that you will have to get a mixer in order to use this with a pc if you're getting it for chatting while gaming. It also does not come with an xlr cable, just the mic ad mount. The sound quality is a big improvement from my previous headset mic.

    Just got a goxlr and this pairs perfect with the mixer, the quality is great sounds crystal clear and boots your confidence when talking to chat! Make sure you order a xlr cable though it does not come with one also Best Buy doesn’t carry them in store!

    Amazing mic! Super clear and easy to setup. Just plug it in and talk. That. Easy. Pair this with a good mic stand and you won’t have to change anything to keep it sounding good!

    It’s got a decent sound overall. It’s not a U87 but it is good enough for podcasting and small studio work. I like some of Blue’s other mics. This is just another one to add to the mix.
