Reviews make it sound like this is a pretty capable little mic. My summary (better than an AI summary?) of a few reviews (that are hopefully old enough to not be AI reviews) is that it tried to compare with a Blue Yeti, and generally didn't win that comparison, but wasn't hot garbage like a lot of trash mics out there. But it compared well enough to make this a pretty good deal.

Quick details:
- USB mic that doesn't have/require software installed to work
- USB C port (comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable)
- hardware mute button
- output monitoring (but with cable clearance issues risking damage to cables)

Up close audio was reviewed really well for this mic, including musicals and general chat. Audio quality went flatter than most at 2ft and more. The omni-control knob sounds a little confusing if you adjust your mic much, but the mute button is at least separate.

Given that landscape, $15 sounds like a steal to me.

Sadly, I have 3 spare similar mics laying around and need no more spares. Otherwise I'd probably buy a couple. I hope this helps somebody. Cheers!

its an alright mic, the only thing i dont like about it is that the hardware mute button is not a physical toggle switch, so it loses its state if you were to unplug and replug the microphone

Can I plug this into a power bank and then plug in headphones to the monitoring jack to hear myself sing?

Is this better than a Samson Meteor?

I don't have any personal experience with either but, based on some of the specs, I would say that this Bumblebee model is superior.
*24-bit 96kHz (high resolution) vs 16-bit 48kHz (CD quality)
*USB-C (the new standard) vs micro USB (the old standard)
*physical mute button vs no mute button
*black vs white (personal preference)

Got this earlier this year for $15 as well. When I tested it out with my wife she said I sounded good and clear. Already gone through several interviews using it with Zoom and Teams. In Zoom, you can go to settings and test out various mic settings via the dial and Zoom settings itself. You can record your own voice and play it back until you find what is best. I will say for $15, it is way better than using my headphone mic for any mic needs.

I use one for meetings cause I work remote. People say it's much clearer sounding than my headphone mic. Probably okay as a basic podcast mic, if that's your thing.

Better than my old blue snowball ICE, replaced it. It's big though, takes up real estate on a desk.

Based on seeming consistency of reviews and price point, this should be a good for general Zoom, Teams calls via PC.

Need decent mics for general work from home for the fam. In for 4, hope it holds us well! Trusting the no brainer instinct of the deal and general good feedback.
