ZealSound Studio Recording Microphone, Condenser Broadcast Microphone w/Stand Built-in Sound Card Echo Recording Karaoke Singing for Phone Computer PC Garageband Smule Live Stream & YouTube (Gold)

I am not a techno-geek and I had a little trouble getting the mic to work the way I wanted. I am creating videos for YouTube featuring me singing karaoke. When I was having problems getting started with the mic I simply contacted the ZealSound folks and they bent over backward to give assistance. They even offered to replace the mic if necessary. Customer service at ZealSound gets an A+ from me. So does the mic. Now, here is the little bit of help I want to pass along to you. I do not use special audio recording software for my videos. Recently, I purchased a Logitech c922 HD webcam. I downloaded the free software from the Logitech site and opened up the Realistic audio program that came installed on my Dell Inspiron desktop computer. I am operating Windows 10 Professional. The Logitech software allows me to choose the mic I want to use (either the one that is aboard the webcam or the one plugged into the Realistic audio software (in this case the ZealSound)). The master volume control is cranked up to the max and the system mic was chosen as the input (the ZealSound). Also, the ZealSound mic volume is cranked to the max. The resulting sound is rich and mellow and sounds like a radio DJ. I am impressed by the quality. Thank you ZealSound for making such a professional quality product available to me for such an amazing price (at the time of purchase I received a 25% discount from ZealSound and free shipping through Amazon Prime. You just can't beat that deal anywhere!!!)

My daughter needed to record an audition piece with her viola for an audition. It had to be an unedited video recording. The video on our phones was fine but the audio was not up to par. I really needed something I could plug into my phone to supplement the audio. I was not expecting to get this amazing mic for the price. I assembled the stand in 1 min and then you slide the mic in, voila! So easy to get started. The mic comes with every input you would need. Aux cable, charger, audio hook ups. I could have used my converter for a lightning cable but I decided to use my S9 to record. It was the easiest part of this process. We were in a small studio and there was a strings class next to us. I positioned the mic on the piano out of frame but close to her. This microphone picked up every note and every breath of my daughter but was just far away enough that it didn't capture the sound next door. It was awesome, like it targeted her sound. The sound experience was transformed from using the phone audio. When I used the phone audio the sound volume was lower (proximity) and it missed the highs and lows of the notes. There was also a small amount of white noise. The sound with the microphone was rich and comprehensive. I could not believe the sound it was able to produce. Amazing!

Just want to start off by saying, I don’t understand the reasoning for the negative reviews. It’s a great budget microphone that functions as intended right out of the box (plug and play). The audio quality is perfect for the price point and is definitely recommended for anyone needing a decent mic on a small budget.

3.5 starts! Quality construction is good! I'd would rate that 4 stars! The price point is fair for 30ish usd. -Now why is not a 5 star product in my opinion? I used this to record myself singing a cover song, mo voice distorted at certain notes, even after recording multiple times at different distances from the mice to avoid the same effect, NOTHING seems to work except to lower the mic input, at that point it's hard to really record something useful to be paired with an instrumentl track. This is good for voice recording, podcasts or simple sound bites. NOT FOR SINGING! I really tried to use it. I did the returning process, but after trying to tune this mic, I lost my returning window. I'll keep it to record voice overs.

This mic has the sound quality of more expensive mics. The only downside was the connection. Mine went bad. To be fair, I moved it a lot.

I already have two mics of the same kind, bought in August, 2019 and November, 2023. The first one still produces great sound quality, good volume without much noise. But the battery doesn't stand a long time now, after years of usage. The second one's sound quality is okayish, not like the first one. I ordered a third one a few days ago, in August, 2025. I see that there has been some updates, no ON / OFF button, and the mic needs to be connected to a power source all the time for it to work. I use these mics to sing on Smule. I hold the mic with my hands so that I can move it towards and away from my mouth as needed. While it's a menace to have a cord always connected while singing, I wouldn't have minded if the sound output had been good. But unfortunately, this latest version produces very poor sound quality compared to the older versions. The output volume is too low, making it unusable for my recordings. I opted for a replacement for the third mic and received the replacement today. This one too has the same problem. Sadly, I have to return this. I still have to use the first mic I bought in 2019, while it's battery lasts only for about 30 minutes even after charging it for hours. I don't know what to do if it completely dies. I wish they would make these mics like how it was in 2019. ☹️

I bought this mic a few weeks ago and it works really well! The design looks sleek and modern. I used it for recording songs and the recordings came out sounding very good. But you can not expect any professional-sounding recordings and it isn’t very directed. The packaging is small so it is convenient to take it with you on the road. The mic set up instructions are easy to follow. I am excited to use it to record more songs in the future! Such a good and inexpensive product!

The order came in with a missing cable, but the service was great and i got a replacement unit within a few days. Thanks to the extremely helpful service people. The microphone is very easy to set up and user friendly in operation. I have tried it out and hear a noticeable improvement in sound quality compare to the built-in mic of my earphone. And you can adjust the echo to your comfortable level, and you can connect either to your cellphone or computer, exactly what i wanted. I'm happy with the purchase. I will use it this weekend to record my teaching lessons and might add more comments to the review.

I set this up exactly like what the user manual told me to, my laptop was fully capable with this device and was functioning well. I also tried to troubleshoot input devices on my computer and it still didn't work. I've done tones of soundcheck and other devices as well (including my laptop, phone and DSLR camera, and it doesn't work too. the battery was fully charged, obviously the power was on and the volume was turned all the way up but no sound was recorded (trust me, I got a wave analysis of this through Waveform and Audacity). and the sound quality when connect your computer to the mic and to my headphone was terrible. only the sound from the mic to the headphone was fine. Truly regret

Purachased this product. Performance is below average, Echo effects is non standard. I used Xiaokoa brand, before. It was amazing. Go for Xiaokoa better & cheaper than Zealsound.

Buy it! Great value for your money, works perfectly and way above my expectations. Arrived 2 days after placing the order.. I’m very impressed with the overall performance on this order.
