KLIM Talk USB Desk Microphone for Computer - New - Compatible with Any PC Laptop Mac PS4 - Professional Desktop Mic with Stand - Recording Gaming Streaming YouTube Podcast Mics

I bought this in an effort to get up to speed with video conferencing at home during lockdown. I have previously bought a webcam with a microphone for my tvpc. The camera works fine but because the microphone is a metre and a half away it does not pick up my voice well. I needed a dedicated microphone that would sit nearer to me. The reviews and description sounded excellent, quality materials and quality product. The microphone lives up to it's reviews. The stand is strong and sturdy and a good weight to stay in place. It looks good, the flexible stem is excellent quality, it feels strong and moves around to get the best possible positioning for the microphone. When I tested it during my next online meeting, attendees could pick up my voice clearly. My only problem is that the lead is only 1.5 metres long. More than enough for a desktop but because I am using it for my TV it gives me just enough rope but nothing to spare. I knew this when I bought it but the reviews were so good this was the obvious choice. It lives up to it's reputation. The company has a mission statement about building high quality products at affordable prices. They seem a new start up. I was so pleased with the product and the company's ethos I found myself looking at their other products even though I did not need any. Even if my broadband is a little slow and my processor heats up during video conferencing, at least my voice sounds clear!

Nicely built, works very well, especially good given the reasonable price. The sound I am told is a little "roomy" or hollow. Not sure myself, but decided to by a well known high quality studio microphone instead.

The KLIM Tabletop microphone is surprisingly good - I have been using it for doing voice-overs for teaching videos, and I like it as much as one that costs three times more. Windows recognised it as soon as I plugged it into a USB port and it was ready to use immediately. I was able to control the recording level using the Windows mixer and it worked well with my recording software. It gave my voice a good, rich sound whilst rejecting unwanted noise from my computer fan. Breathing sounds were well-controlled. A good professional result - I am delighted with it and can recommend it for voice recording.

Needed an external microphone due to the fact the latest Macbook inbuilt mic turns off when the lid is closed - very annoying. Like the idea of having a button to turn it on and off so went for the KLIM Talk. Sound quality is superb (according to those on the other end). It looks pretty sleek next to the monitor and isn't obtrusive as the mic can be angled any direction. One thing to be aware of is the echo that can be present with external speakers positioned close by. This can be overcome by turning the speaker volume down or switching the mic off when the other person speaks. Otherwise no issues and very pleased with my purchase.

Great easy to install and works so easily

I have used this for zoom calls. Recently I recorded a zoom and noticed a buzzy noise distortion with a slight delay when I speak, which sounded poor quality. Perhaps this is more noticeable when listening back over head phones rather than laptop speakers. My headset with built in mic does not do this. The Klim sounds sharper than my headset but the buzz means I am looking for a better mic now.

Surprisingly reliable for such a fair price ( compared to the other ludicrous prices ranging from £50 to as much as 300£ or above prices for a mic). Only small issue I have with this is it's a bit quiet you have to get close to the mic for the audio to get picked up properly, but other than that it's had no issues.

Good size and quality microphone for general Zoom/Skype use, for the price. As others say, it’s recommended to be placed a little closer to your mouth. It of course wouldn't compare well against a more expensive or semi-professional microphone. It installed on Windows 10 without issue, plug and play, however it seemed not to be working, with no sound being recognised by the system. After looking through the settings I found that the Windows 10 Privacy settings were blocking access to the new microphone, a bit of a simple gotcha!! Once allowed all worked perfectly for what I needed it for :)

Update vom 08.09.2023: Ich habe das Mikro jetzt schon öfters in Meetings verwendet und jetzt verstehe ich auch die Platzierung des Kabels an der Seite. So kann man es bis an den Rand des Monitors schieben, ohne dass das Kabel stört. War also vorher schon nicht wirklich störend und jetzt kapier ich die Design-Entscheidung auch. Wirklich gutes Mikro, absolute Kauf-Empfehlung Originaltext: Ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem USB Standmikrofon! Es erfüllt nicht nur meine Erwartungen, sondern übertrifft sie sogar. Die Verbindung ist kinderleicht – einfach in den USB-Port stecken und schon kann es losgehen. Keine komplizierte Einrichtung oder Treiberinstallation, sondern direkt loslegen. 👍 ❤️ Praktischer An- und Ausschaltknopf direkt am Standfuß! ❤️ Ein absolutes Highlight für mich ist der Mikrofon An- und Ausschaltknopf am Standfuß. Das macht die Bedienung so viel einfacher! Kein umschalten mehr über die Software (z.B. Zoom), um das Mikrofon stummzuschalten. Mit diesem praktischen Feature kann ich problemlos während meiner Meetings mein Mikro ausmachen, ohne Maus oder Keyboard zu berühren. Eine kleine, aber äußerst nützliche Funktion! 👏 🎤 Hervorragende Sprachqualität für professionelle Ergebnisse! 🎤 Die Sprachqualität dieses Mikrofons (für den Preis von 22€!) hat mich umgehauen. Die Stimme wird klar und präzise eingefangen, ohne störende Hintergrundgeräusche. Egal ob für professionelle Sprachaufnahmen, Podcasts oder Videokonferenzen – dieses Mikrofon liefert erstklassige Ergebnisse. Die Klangtreue und Klarheit sind einfach bemerkenswert und verleihen meinen Aufnahmen eine professionelle Note. 🎶 🤔 Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Kabelposition am Standfuß. 🤔 Ein kleines Detail, das mich ein wenig verwundert hat, ist die Position des Kabels. Statt hinten am Standfuß herauszukommen, befindet es sich auf der linken Seite. Das ist für mich nicht ganz verständlich, da eine hintere Position die Kabelorganisation einfacher gemacht hätte. Dies ist jedoch nur eine minimale Unannehmlichkeit, die kaum ins Gewicht fällt angesichts der vielen positiven Aspekte dieses Mikrofons. 🤷‍♂️ 📢 Fazit: Top-Produkt mit beeindruckender Preis-Leistung! 📢 Zusammenfassend bin ich absolut zufrieden mit dem KLIM-USB Standmikrofon. Die einfache Einrichtung, der praktische An- und Ausschaltknopf, die herausragende Sprachqualität – all das macht es zu einem Spitzenprodukt. Obwohl die Position des Kabels ein kleiner Minuspunkt ist, überwiegen die positiven Eigenschaften bei Weitem. Für alle, die nach einem hochwertigen und benutzerfreundlichen Mikrofon suchen, ist dieses Modell definitiv eine ausgezeichnete Wahl! 💯

It would be hard not to be pleased with the Klim Talk Tabletop Microphone. I Just had to plug it into a USB port and it was ready to go. I find the On/Off switch on the base very handy. It also is great to have the Red LED showing the mic is on. As far as how the Mic works? The quality of the sound will blow you away. To finish, this Klim Talk show me allot about the company. They have hit the targets! A Product that works and sounds great, a quality made product that is also very stylish, and at a very reasonable price! Thank you Klim for thinking about consumers.

Prodotto di buona fattura, funziona correttamente e il materiale della base è solido, un giusto peso per tenerlo in posizione senza farlo cadere. La base è fatta con un materiale plastico molto piacevole al tatto. Il cavo USB è lungo 180 cm, comodo per posizionare il microfono dove si vuole. Unico neo, a mio avviso, l'attacco del cavo alla basetta, bisogna stare attenti a non muoverlo troppo perché si può spezzare, avrei messo l'attacco sotto la basetta come nei telefoni tanto per capirsi, per evitare rotture del cavo. Comunque sono soddisfatto, anche per il tasto di spegnimento illuminato.

Voor die prijs een prima microfoon. Geluid is opmerkelijk mooi. Een echte aanrader.

Encontrar un buen micrófono, barato y con botón de silenciar es una odisea últimamente. Los portátiles vienen con uno integrado y los cascos con micro están muy de modo así que la oferta de micro como periférico no-profesional es muy reducida. En mi caso quise reemplazar un genius antiguo (sin botón de silenciar pero con grabación muy aceptable) por un micrófono que se pudiera silenciar con botón. He probado otros y nada, por este precio todos suenan metálicos, con voz de robot (sí, algunos se escuchaban bien, pero no BIEN y yo lo uso mucho así que soy muy exigente con esto). Pero bueno, me arriesgué con este por las críticas. Y es una pasada. Enchufado y en dos minutos como mucho se instala solo y empieza a funcionar. El botón de silencio está muy accesible, funciona perfectamente (cuando está silenciado no hay luz, cuando brilla roja es que está encendido) y es muy suave así que no molesta al que te esté escuchando cuando lo pulsas (no hace CLIC como otros micros). De calidad de grabación, muy muy muy buena. Supongo que no será lo mejor para grabar cosas del estilo cantando o similar pero para chat (yo lo uso varias horas todos los días por Skype) es una maravilla: se escucha muy definido, sin ruido ambiente y sin tener que subir la voz. Ya os digo, mi antiguo micro era bueno y este filtra aun más el ruido ambiente y escucha con un tono más bajo. Si buscas un micrófono que se escuche BIEN (pero bien de verdad) y que se pueda silenciar, que es lo que buscaba yo, este. Cómprate este ya (lo pillé en oferta flash por 25 euros, algo más de lo que pensaba gastarme porque el que tenía aun funcionaba, pero los merece, si lo necesitara porque el otro estuviera roto habría pagado hasta más). PD: acabo de recibirlo y probarlo. Actualizaré en unos meses a ver que tal pero tiene pinta de comportarse bien con el tiempo (además es mu bonito y mu discreto, que a veces este tipo de micros, sobre todo si son gamer, son más horteras que la leche). Si no he actualizado es que se me ha olvidado porque sigue funcionando de lujo. Actualizo 3 meses después: sigue siendo una maravilla.
