How We Found the Kungber USB Microphone Q18
We have always been interested in online communication and content creation. Also, we enjoy using platforms like Skype, Zoom, YouTube, etc., to connect with others and share our ideas and passions. However, we also realized that having a good microphone is essential for delivering precise and professional sound quality.
That’s why we started looking for a USB microphone to improve our sound quality and performance. We wanted a microphone that was affordable and compatible with our laptop. As much as possible, we wanted to spend only a little money on a microphone. And so, we searched online for different USB microphones and read reviews from other users. Also, we watched some videos and listened to audio samples to compare the sound quality of different microphones. We learned about different types of microphones, such as dynamic, condenser, omnidirectional, cardioid, etc.
Undeniably, we were impressed by the features we heard and read and decided to try this microphone. We ordered it from Amazon and received it within a few days. Like any product, the Kungber USB Microphone Q18 has pros and cons.
Pros
After doing some research, we came across the Kungber USB Microphone Q18. This microphone caught our attention because it had many positive reviews on Amazon. It also had some features that appealed to us, such as:
- High sound quality. The microphone has a cardioid condenser capsule that collects sound from the front and reduces ambient noise. It has a high sensitivity and can capture clear and natural sound within about 130 degrees.
- Noise reduction. It has a pop filter that reduces breathing noise and plosives and a windscreen that reduces wind interference. Also, it has built-in noise suppression technology that filters out unwanted sounds.
- Volume control. Besides, it has two volume control knobs that adjust the balance between the microphone volume level and the headphone volume intensity.
- LED light. Moreover, an LED light changes color depending on the microphone’s status (blue: standard; red: mute). The LED light adds flair to your setup and helps you see if the microphone works correctly.
- Easy installation. Furthermore, it comes with a metal arm stand that can be clamped to the edge of a desk or shelf up to 5cm thick. This also comes with a 180cm Type-C cable, enabling fast, high-quality transmission. It would help if you plugged the cable into your laptop’s USB port, and the microphone will be recognized immediately. Thus, you do not need to install any drivers or software.
Cons
- Very sensitive. Besides, it is susceptible and can pick up unwanted sounds without being careful. For example, if you touch or move the armstand or the cable, you might hear clicking or rustling noises on the recording. You must also keep it away from devices that might cause electromagnetic interference, such as mobile phones or stereos.
- Headphone jack issues. The headphone jack on the microphone needs to be fixed with some headphones. We tried to use our wireless Bluetooth headphones with the microphone but could not hear anything from them. We had to use wired headphones instead, which was inconvenient. It may be due to compatibility issues between the sound card and the headphones.
Do We Recommend the Kungber USB Microphone Q18?
Based on our experience and research, we recommend the Kungber USB Microphone Q18 to anyone needing a reliable and affordable USB microphone for their PC or Mac. This USB microphone offers high sound quality, noise reduction, volume control, LED light, and easy installation. It is suitable for various purposes, such as online classes, meetings, live streaming, gaming, etc. However, it is susceptible and can pick up unwanted sounds if you are not careful, so you must use it in a quiet and interference-free environment. The headphone jack on the microphone might not work well with some headphones, so you should use wired headphones instead of wireless ones.
Overall, the Kungber USB Microphone Q18 is a good option for anyone needing a USB microphone to deliver high-quality sound, reduce noise, and enhance your online presence. It is easy to use, compatible with your laptop, and affordable. Also, you can read more reviews from other users and see what they think about it.
