T-bone SC420 USB desktop mic
quinnie2018 05.03.2022
I bought this for my daughter to record some pieces for her music work at school.

The mic is fairly solid, and comes in a nice case.

The sound quality is acceptable, but the convenience of USB is mainly why I chose it. My daughter can just plug it in and use it, and there is a headphone connector so she can use the mic as the monitoring point.

I have owned better condenser microphones, but they were more expensive and needed a digital interface with phantom power. The mic is probably aimed at podcasters, but my daughter has used it to record piano, flute and vocals and it worked fine - no drivers to install or any of those hassles.

For approx £50 it was better quality than I had expected so I was pleased with it.

Finally!
Marcxstation 05.05.2021
Was looking for a budget USB Mic for Podcast. Hit jackpot. Amazing mic. Completely satisfied after a lot of failed attempts.
Pros:
- Amazing packing and box
- Easiest installation (plug and detect)
- Never thought t mute button on mic would turn out to be such a great feature!!
- Headphone out on the mic.
- Almost inaudible white noise.
- Great recorded quality
- Can also be used as instrument mic for live stream.
- Awesome microphone stand with great wt support.
- double Pop filters

Cons:
Honestly couldn't find any mentionable ones yet.

I wanted to buy SC 430 because of the on mic gain and headphone adjust knob, but couldn't get it as it was not in stock. Surprisingly, I don't regret it anymore. I consider myself a winner getting it, so I would recommend it over any other USB Mics available!

This set has proven to be very sturdy and the sound quality is good. I did find the metal post on the stand to be slightly longer than I wanted, as it raised the Mic above the level of the acoustic shield I had bought to go with the kit, but I happened to have a shorter post handy.

The mic is identified without any issue by the Ubuntu or Pop!_OS flavours of Linux, although it is also detected as a speaker so I had to pop up the audio settings and swap that back to the built-in sound card when plugging the mic in. If this were a significant problem then a quick configuration hack would make it go away, but it's trivial to just click the correct option each time and I usually leave that window open during video calls anyway in case I need to tweak volume settings so it's no extra effort.
It would get 5 stars if it correctly registered as a mic only and not speakers.

The pop-filter is a little too elastic so it can be fiddly to get in the right orientation and place, but that's just how most pop filters are, it's not a specific problem here.

Pretty good
MichaelHogan 24.03.2022
Needed a replacement for a while and for the price it has very good quality. The base of the stand is just a tab big for my desk but it's fine.

Great Product
Sboyy 15.02.2022
Got it a few months ago and was kind of sceptical of it. But now after a few months I can say that you're getting great value out of this mic. Especially for that price. Compared to the more premium brands it's not quite there when it comes to sound quality, but still, for this money? You can't really complain.
The only con i could think of is the mic stand itself, my mic came with a stand, where the knob that holds the mic is a bit loose, in the sense that you can tighten it to the maximum, but the mic won't stand completely still. It's not a big deal tho, since if you dont touch the mic itself, it wont come off.
All in all, great value for the price I paid, I would honestly recommend it to anyone looking for a entry-level mic. Cheers!

Great USB microphone for voice
IngvarJackal 07.10.2020
Works great for voice, has vocal-specific microphones distortion.
Had a defect Mute button, when arrived, but I fixed it with some precision tools.
Stand is good and solid.
Totally would recommend to any, who wants some nice recording of voice for cheap.

Solid all round
Richard Knijnenburg 09.08.2022
This is my work-from-home mic and it's perfect for the job. The build is solid, it's low priced and it sounds great. The only very slight minus is the blue glowing led inside, but it hasn't bothered me as much as I expected. Recommended.

t.bone, sorry, bang for the buck
Opravičujemo se za vse nevšečnosti 13.11.2020
Simple setup (plug n' play on both Mac and Windows), sound quality is very good, especially considering the price. Would greatly recommend it as a starter mic, although even more experienced podcasters / audio freaks will find a few cons, especially with the sound of it.

Check YouTube reviews, it nicely compares with mics for couple hundred of dollars / euros or pounds.

Excellent mic for home recording
Nokhawy 27.11.2021
I bought this mic for my home studio and the quality is great. Didn't have to download any driver software or anything. The build is quite sturdy. Would recommend this for anyone trying to get into audio recording at a reasonable price.
