Great!!!! Love this microphone!!!!
Really smart and also surprisingly compact for how good the sound quality is. Comes with a cable that enables the microphone to be a good distance away from the main laptop if needed so great for team meetings/zoom calls!
The AI filtering mode is INCREDIBLE, fantastic MIC, ... less fantastic camera, but capable
The media could not be loaded. ⚠ Item received free via Bolo Vine in exchange for an honest review; all opinions expressed herein are my own.==============================Well, for starters - there is a VERY clear lean in on quality with this item. Just the microphone alone is substantively heavy, and its AI mode is actually quite a difference maker when it comes to artificially boosting the clarity of your voice.The unit is easy to operate, basically you just press the button to mute, long press to switch raw sound vs. AI cleaned, and that's it for the microphone. I feel the only thing left to mention about it is that it has a fairly small, compact puck-like shape, and you should look and listen to the video if you want some perspective on the sound quality. (Note: in English).The webcam was actually entirely unexpected - I hadn't read the fullest part of the listing to know it came with one. This one is... not quite as celebrated. While the quality of its build is quite solid, and it's clearly decent from that end - I struggle to believe it's a 4K camera as labelled. It's definitely sharper than some of the other webcams I've used that are 720p, but it's not nearly as crisp as some of the 4K's I've seen. I can't tell you definitively it isn't, though, but I will say that its image quality is not commensurate with it for other reasons, then.I can't really take a great picture with it as items don't show too well (ie, my phone camera does drastically better) and I can't really photograph myself per Bolo's rules + with censorship bars it ends up being sort of worthless. Anyway, I'll say it's definitely serviceable for office use, that's not a problem.Insofar as the goal is a capable, quality system for easier office calls with a team (it's an omnidirectional microphone) or as an individual, this package gets you all the equipment you need. The microphone is fantastic, I'm really impressed by it - and while I think I dislike that the camera seems labelled as better than it actually is, it's inarguable that it still gives a pretty solid business quality setup.My preference, especially given my taste for mechanical keyboards with clicky switches is to use a headset, but ... well, listen. I can't do it justice. The AI mode on this thing is INCREDIBLY capable. In the audio I can type on a loud, clacky mechanical keyboard with the microphone nearly right next to it - and I'm deliberately pressing the switches hard.And you will not hear them. It does distort slightly, but with even a bit more distance from the keyboard than this, it's immaculate. That is nothing short of incredible for a filtering feature that's built into the hardware. Holy. Like, that's the first time I've seen something this capable, not even KRISP for discord can manage it.========================== Overall View: [😀] ==== - 😦🙁😐😊😀 + ==========================Media Used:- video with audio from the microphone, including its AI mode on, off, during typing and without typing (for both modes). The audio isolation for voices with that AI mode on is the best I've yet seen, its ability to filter is incredible. Distance is roughly at half-arm's length. Right next to the keyboard. Can't record and type, so enjoy transitioning colours for the visual part of this.

Not sure on the quality, but it was immediately enabled on any computer and operating system I have tried it on. Nice quality.
Works well, no feedback
Any time you're working with a speakerphone microphone, there's always the risk of feedback. This one seems to do a good job of minimizing that. It says it has "AI noise reduction" - I doubt there's much AI involved, but it is the buzzword of the moment. What I can say is that people on the other end of a speakerphone call when I'm using this have said it doesn't sound any different than when I'm using my headset. That's about as good of a review as you can get for a speakerphone device.It plugs into your laptop via a USB port, and it works fine with Windows or Mac (both see it as a standard microphone device). You may have to tell your chat application what device to use (I was able to easily get it to work with Microsoft Teams, Google Chat and Zoom).The unit has a single button on it, which is a mute button. The LED changes colour when it's muted vs. not, but none of the chat applications I tried were able to see it as a mute button (being you could end up double muted, so you should be aware of that). Great option if you're in a small space with a few people all sharing a laptop as a speakerphone.
A great all-around webcam; AI filtering is neat but I am new to that feature
This is my first time using a mic that has an AI filtering mode on it but otherwise I have used numerous microphones for work and personal use over the years.This mic connects via USB to your device and it worked well with my Lenovo Yoga 13x laptop on Windows 11. There is only a single button on it for muting audio and there is an onboard LED that indicates when the audio is muted (red), normal (green) and AI filtered (blue.) As others have mentioned you have to turn off your computer privacy settings for specific functions to dictate and if you device is managed by your organization that could be a problem.We have a similar mic (Jabra brand) that we use at work because it is from vendor of record but I needed something for home as well as for work travel so I wanted to try this one. I like the disc shape that sits flat on the desk. It has some weight to it and it doesn't slip around easily on surfaces but at the same time the flat disc shape is very easily portable so it is great for travelling.Both my work and home office set-ups use mechanical keyboards so the tactile feedback comes with the sacrifice to audio; typically when working during a Teams meeting or audio call. As much as I love my klackity-klack-klacks not everyone wants to hear it or can block it out to focus on the conversation.This mic is listed as using AI filtering to isolate the audio and reduce noise (like my keyboard typing.) I cannot verify what AI or whether it actually is using true AI but I tested it out with my boss and the first comment he made was "are you taking notes?" because he couldn't hear my typing while we were in the meeting (with having ADHD I am a nerd about taking notes whether they are required or not so I am ALWAYS typing in meetings.) I think that is a pretty good indicator that the audio filtering is doing a really good job (AI or not) and I am pretty happy with it so far.Overall it's a fairly straight forward desktop mic that works well to filter most noise and is very portable. I am quite happy and would order again.
