socodox XLR/USB Dynamic Microphone Kit, Podcast Microphone with Noise Cancellation, Independent Volume Control Gaming Microphone with Boom Arm

Well made. Affordable price point.
I usually use a wireless microphone but I thought this would be a useful backup. Considering the price point, it’s well made and feels pretty robust.
It’s easy to set up, just plug and play. The sound quality is fine but it doesn’t have the crisp clarity of my other microphone. However, it’s a good affordable option for events, school assemblies, busking, etc.

Microphone
For the price does an excellent job

A budget microphone , fair sound quality, robust .
Reviewing – Vocal dynamic microphone with XLR to 1/4” cable – handheld
This small but robust microphone is well constructed in metal and with good weight , not too heavy .
It’s a budget price and with simple plug and play I wasn’t expecting too much .
The sound quality is actually ok . I wouldn’t use professionally but this microphone will be great for karaoke, in house introduction , school or event with the right speaker output . Or used on a stand or desk for podcasts or simple home studio , social media .
It comes with a long 15ft + cable so plenty of scope for moving around although it’s a little heavy to hold for too long .
Great value, well made and better sound than most in this budget range .

Basic, functional and heavy to hold for long periods.
Normally I use wireless microphones but I got caught out the other week when the batteries ran flat and I did not have any spares so I was looking for a backup to have in my case of equipment and this fits the bill very nicely. There were some nasty crackles and pops when I first plugged it in but these settled down and disappeared so I put it down to just the connections settling in. Then when held in the correct place for using a microphone, just a centimetre off of the chin, it worked very well. It is not going to win any awards for quality but this is ideal for a backup to my much more expensive kit and it is very heavy to hold for any length of time. I will also be using this for places where I do not want to take my expensive gear as well and to keep the setup to a minimum. No batteries are required so no danger of loss of power with this one.

Quality product overall. I sadly can not get it to work without phantom power though. They are a little sensitive as well. Only making it to 2-3 on the gain before a feedback pitch magically shows up uninvited.

I perform around my local area a bit, and I am always looking for inexpensive mics for live shows. I play in band with a few singers, and it is nice to have some mics that sound fine for coffee shops or small venues, but maybe not something you would use in the studio.
This is a great one, and has made my travel kit. It is well made, with high-quality components. The mic itself feels sturdy, with real metal casing. The screen is also sturdy with well adhered foam inside. The mic head is fine, and it produces a pretty nice clean tone. It doesn’t have the dynamic range of my Telefunken, but I can also buy 6 of these for the same price. Most of the places I play at don’t have the acoustics to really get the most out of my high-end mics, so this is a perfect solution.
It has a decent halo of reception in terms of how close I have to be to get a full sound, and it holds up well during a show.
Overall, this is a great mic for musicians who are not playing in places designed for live sound. And for speaking and karaoke, it is absolutely stellar!
