Review on Technica AT2005USB Handheld Dynamic Microphone by Ryan Eppinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great mic, poor standing

Used a condenser mic for a podcast. However, the workmanship in my room is just terrible, so I thought it would be cheaper to buy a good dynamic microphone. WOW! Doesn't matter! Still only picking up a tiny echo of the room, but barely noticeable. The difference in sound in a podcast is day and night. Now I use it for Zoom calls too. I was bullied a bit at first (What... are you trying to DJ?) but after a few calls I started getting questions about why my sound is so much better. I didn't like a few things, so I'm deducting a star. The included desktop mic stand sucks. It's wobbly and not big enough for a normal person to use at a standard desk. I would have preferred a mic clip to attach it to a suitable desktop stand. Be that as it may, there is no information on which microphone clips work. I ended up buying a universal Moukey mic clip, it fits but is a bit loose. I ordered a normal size. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NPBGZFM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). As previously mentioned, the blue light is always on. This is annoying and of course can be distracting. But just cover it with a piece of black tape and you're done. I can definitely recommend this microphone. Let yourself be surprised!

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, it's ok
