sorted byYou get a stand which admittedly if you were wanting to use this for gaming I'd advise looking into a boom arm instead and also advise anyone interested in purchasing this microphone to invest in a double layered pop filter as well, usually costs an extra £5 on eBay/Amazon.
The best thing for this microphone is the amount of features in this microphone at this pricepoint. Comparatively you have the Razer Seiren Mini and the Blue Snowball (Standard/iCE) which both do not have a gain/volume adjustable knob or a mute button. The Razer Seiren does not have a removal cable and the Blue Snowball is using a very out of date cable that is a hassle to deal with... This microphone uses a USB-C cable that you can remove, which is a great thing.
My biggest take away though is if you get to around 50 seconds in, when the microphone is removed from the stand the arms to the sides come off it.. This is great because the microphone has a shockmount, obviously it won't be a great one at this price point but the fact that it has one is very nice to see.
For anyone interested, a shockmount is there to try and absorb the unwanted sounds caused by vibrations, such as someone slamming their fist to the table that the microphone is on, shockmounts are designed to reduce the noise from the thud so it's not terrible to the ears.
This is a great piece of kit for £30 if anyone's looking for a cheap microphone to get rid of their pesky headset.
Nice little mic for that price, haven't used one but reviews I watched made it seem great for this price.
I do like some of NEAT's funky looking mics though (Widget A/B/C), just nowhere near as good sound quality wise as their mainstream mic's like this one. (edited)
