  • Solid and Sound: Producing rich audio recording for any application, Meteor Mic features a large 1" (25mm) proprietary studio capsule with a wide, smooth frequency response that captures every nuance of your vocal or instrument performance. Its cardioid pickup pattern records sounds that are directly in front of microphone, minimizing off-axis sound from entering your project.
  • Making the Magic: Since there's no need for drivers, you can start recording right out of the box on any computer. And Meteor Mic is compatible with most computer digital audio workstations, video conferencing and VOIP software. And 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolution give you professional audio results no matter what you're recording.
  • Record in Style: Meteor Mic is designed to allow you to sound your best wherever your projects take you. The fold-back leg design allows the microphone to be easily transported anywhere and to adjust to the optimal position for any recording application. An integrated mic stand adapter on the bottom of the microphone enables it to be mounted to a boom arm or desktop stand.
  • Take Control: Zero-latency headphone output with level control and a microphone mute switch provide complete control during your projects. A USB cable and carry pouch are included, so you can always take the Meteor Mic with you on your travels.
  • Optimal Recording: Legs adjust to the optimal position for any recording application from acoustic guitars to vocals or speech.

Very good mic for the price. It's an older model, but it keeps up and even surpasses mics in the $20-$100 range. There's a bit of noise inherent to USB Mics, but for Zoom calls and casual gaming it's a perfect compromise. I genuinely can't think of any cons at $12.

yeah, if you want to up your Zoom call game and have a $13 budget, this is the best thing you can buy.... also get a ring light, the more light the better.

I have another model from this brand and (a small one that connects to the laptop screen) and it works surprisingly well. I have no doubt this one would too.

Crazy good deal at this price. I have been using this same mic for years. Paid $40ish for it years ago. Using it for Zoom calls, video voiceovers, and more. For the times I need near-perfect audio, I run my recording through Adobe Podcast to make it sound like it was done in-studio on a $200 mic.

it's a good vocal microphone because it's very directional, you will need to point it at your mouth and it won't do a good job of picking up anything else... which is what you want.

but it's not an expensive microphone with any kind of active noise cancellation magic. with that said, most meeting and recording programs have a software "eliminate background noise" option that would help boost the performance.

so in short, again, you cannot do better for $13 shipped.

Just know that this has a micro-USB port, not the USB-C. Mine is not working anymore, and I suspect the port is broken. In my experience, the micro-USB port tends to break more easily.

Mine has a broken port also. Probably failed after 8 years. So buying another one for $13.

Got this mic around the time of the pandemic where working from home became a thing. Since then I have received two unsolicited compliments that my voice is coming through crystal clear on Teams calls. I've never listened to myself outside of the test call (I don't record anything) but, still, based on that I'd highly recommend this.

Exact same experience. Great mic, especially so at $13.

This mic is great, your not gonna find a better price to performance until you start breaking a modded 80 dollar mic or 100+ (IMHO of course)

Different mic technology in them, Cardioid on the Bumblebee vs Condenser on this Meteor

This one says cardioid too though.

"Its cardioid pickup pattern records sounds that are directly in front of microphone, minimizing off-axis sound from entering your project."
