    Customers generally like the mic quality. For example, they say it's an excellent choice entry-level microphone that is still capable of picking up their voice beautifully. It sounds amazing, and is good enough for recording with modest ambitions. It's great for a podcast radio station, or on stage or for instruments where it works especially well for deeper-end tenors and alto voices. It is also great for any amateur podcaster or let's player.

    "...The mic itself appears to be well constructed and when I took the screen cover off was surprised at how many turns it took...." Read more

    "..."Value" does not equal "Cheap", and this is a very solid microphone. You will not be disappointed...." Read more

    520 customers mention495 positive25 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the value of the microphone. They mention that it has an expensive look, does well enough for its price, and is a very good entry-level studio-type of microphone for beginners or those looking for a high-quality microphone.

    "...The mic has a very professional and expensive look to it, it features mostly an all-metal design except for the buttons on the front where there is..." Read more

    "This is an amazing mic for the price. I'm a budding podcaster and podcast editor and this mic beats a Sno Ball & Blue Yeti hands down...." Read more

    "...All in all, I think this is a great value for an under $100 mic. I'm pleased with everything but the stand, which I'll remedy soon enough...." Read more

    "...This is a great beginner microphone and your money is well spent on this microphone...." Read more

    441 customers mention337 positive104 negative

    Customers like the performance of the microphone. They mention that it does quite well over or podcasting, and is definitely worth the price. Some say that it's not a Yeti, but it is fantastic. They also say that the little stand works fine, and that it is quite usable. That said, some say that its way better than the blue snowball and that the fit and finish is quite good.

    "...Fit and finish is quite good. While lightweight it still has some heft and that is equally balanced. All electrical connections are tight...." Read more

    "...AND YES ITS GOOD FOR SINGING TOO, VERY GOOD...." Read more

    Customers find the installation of the microphone to be easy. They mention that it connects to a Macintosh without drama, appears as an input device automatically, and is immediately compatible with their Powder Director editing program.

    "...AMAZING sound quality.Easy to setup and use.Cons:No gain knob (not a big deal).Cheap Tripod." Read more

    "...Super easy to set up, too. Just plug the USB into your computer and you're good to go." Read more

    "I've only used it a few times but set up on an iMac is simple and straightforward. I like the 3.5mm jack for connecting headphones...." Read more

    58 customers mention58 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the microphone. They mention that the details looked well done, it's an attractive mic, and the tripod is sweet. Some recommend getting a foam pop filter to improve the sound quality. Overall, customers are happy with the quality and appearance of this microphone.

    "...Not a big deal, over all i love this mic its so professional looking with a strong build does NOT feel cheap...." Read more

    "...SOLID metal construction, great looking (if you care about such things), and after reviewing literally all usb microphones on the market, felt this..." Read more

    636 customers mention437 positive199 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the microphone. Some mention that it's amazing quality at a low price, well built, and easy to use. The entire body is a high quality aluminum, with the exception of the plastic strip that houses the mic. However, others say that the manufacturing quality control is poor and the first microphone they ordered didn't work. The stand is not especially strong or tall, but it does the job and holds the mic at an adjustable height.

    "...The mic has a very professional and expensive look to it, it features mostly an all-metal design except for the buttons on the front where there is..." Read more

    "...Quality and a cheaper price is something it definitely delivers on...." Read more

    "...Once the fuzzy background sound is eliminated, my voice sounds nice, clear and proffesional...." Read more

    116 customers mention50 positive66 negative

    Customers are mixed about the cord of the microphone. Some mention that it has integrated USB support for non-XLR usage, making it the perfect mic for someone planning to use it without an XLR connection. However, others say that the USB cord connection became loose, the USB connector is very poor, and it doesn't go all the way in.

    "...A buyer left a review that the usb connection don't work after a few short days with Windows giving "you usb device has malfunction, please replace..." Read more

    "...Another perk of this microphone is that has both xlr and usb connections...." Read more

    "...hardware I've come to the conclusion that there really must be a faulty connection with the type-B USB port in the microphone...." Read more

    "...The microphone comes with a USB cord to plug into your computer, as well as another type of cord for plugging into your sound equipment...." Read more

    Best microphone I've ever had. Very pleased.
    5 Stars
    Best microphone I've ever had. Very pleased.
    Bought a $10 stand set that came with a scissor arm stand, pop filter, and shock mount to fit this. Very good deal. The mic came a week late because it was shipped to Amazon first so it could be inspected and repackaged WITH the stand. Makes it much neater to ship it with the stand. First audio test was in hand, with raw sound. I am very pleased with the quality. I waited many months to have the opportunity to purchase this product and I couldn't be happier.One and only thing that I do not like about the Audio Technica ATR2100 is that it doesn't fit it many shock mounts. Though I found a way through this.For other people who want to use a shock mount instead of the original holder, here's a simple guide:1. Heat up the stand by putting it beside an open oven or leave it outside in the hot weather. Grab some everyday scissors and slowly but surely cut across the stand holder from the tripod connector.2. Make sure that you leave enough for the stand to have a little hook above the hole that is about in the middle of the holder to prevent it from slipping through the shock mount.3. Slip the stand holder in the shock mount, facing the little hook to the shock mount's hole where it separates for larger mics.Now you have a no longer useless shock mount! The stand fits pretty well and doesn't come out easily. Smaller shock mounts that do fit the mic easily are usually harder to find and more expensive. So this is an easier way to fit it in shock mounts.Thank you for giving me the opportunity to buy this wonderful product. Will strongly suggest to others looking for mics.

    Reviewed in Mexico on August 13, 2019
    El producto me gustó tanto que acabo de pedir un segundo micrófono para poder grabar mis podcast con dos participantes. La calidad del audio es excelente. La voz se escucha muy clara y con buena presencia. En comparación con el micrófono AT2020 graba el sonido un poco más brilloso, mientras que el AT2020 en más cálido con bajos más profundos.

    El material del micrófono se siente de un aluminio robusto y resistente y tiene buen peso.

    Me parece que el ART2500 es ideal para grabaciones de podcast porque lo puedes conectar muy rápido mediante usb sin la necesidad de una interfaz de audio. Mientras que el AT2020 me parece más útil para grabación de canto en estudio.

    Yo lo uso en mi macbook pro 2017 y con logic pro 10.4.5. El dispositivo se detecta al instante. Pero como no se conecta a una interfaz de audio, debes regular el gain desde las opciones de sonido del sistema. Los botones de volumen del micrófono me parece que son para ajustar los monitores, pues tienen una conexión directa para audífonos.

    Lo único no tan bueno es la base que incluye, pues es de plástico y se siente algo frágil. De momento me ha funcionado bien, pero al transportarla hay que tener cuidado de no lastimarla.

    Si tu intención es utilizar este micrófono para tu podcast te lo recomiendo 100%.
