MAONO Dynamic Gaming Microphone with Boom Arm: XLR/USB Podcast Microphone with Software, Mute Button, Gain Control, RGB PC Mic for Streaming, Recording, PS4/PS5, YouTube Content Creation

I use it for my WFH meetings and gaming. The mic is fabulous, it cancels the extra noise really well. I think it's perfect if you are looking for something solid in this price. Totally recommended (writing this review after 4l6 months of use). The arm is also solid and gives a lot of settings and it's sturdy. The RGB is also good, the mic off button is also really handy, and it DOES NOT MAKE ANY AUDIBLE noise that can be heard by people on call. It's works well with both mac and windows, no extra cable needed. In my area sometimes we have street vendors selling loudly and this mic cancels their noise pretty well

After weeks of researching podcast microphones, I finally settled on the MAONO PD100XS, and I’m seriously impressed. Sound Quality This mic delivers crisp, professional-level audio right out of the box. The dynamic range is great, it handles vocal tones beautifully, and Double Noise Cancellation—even in a less-than-perfect home recording setup. It’s made my voice sound richer and clearer, with no need for excessive post-editing. MAONO PD100X gaming mic adopts a wide frequency response of 40Hz-16KHz and a high sampling rate 24-bit/48kHz, captures more sound details and conveys richer, clearer audio, suit for gaming and recording in all audio applications. Build & Design Solid, sleek, customizable RGB lighting and well-built. It feels premium, and the design is podcast studio–ready. I also love the Tap To Mute, Whether you're gaming, podcasting, chatting, or live streaming, just tap the silent soft-touch mute key to silence. Ease of Use I’m not a sound engineer, so ease of setup was key for me. The MAONO PD100XS is plug-and-play with both USB and XLR options, giving me flexibility as my setup grows. Compatible with my Mac and my recording software Audacity without any hiccups. Extras It comes with a sturdy mount and a decent USB cable, though I’d recommend grabbing a pop filter or boom arm for a cleaner setup. Final Thoughts For anyone starting a podcast, streaming, or just wanting pro-level voice recordings, the MAONO PD100XS is a fantastic investment. It’s boosted my audio quality significantly, and I’m genuinely excited to record every time I turn it on. Highly recommend !!!!

Best mic ever in this budget

I’ve been using the MAONO dynamic mic for a bit now, mostly for gaming and Discord, and it’s honestly better than I expected. The sound is clear and warm, and it does a great job cutting out background noise—my keyboard isn’t nearly as loud anymore. Setup was super easy with USB, and I like that it also has XLR if I ever upgrade my setup later. The boom arm is decent and holds the mic in place without much fuss. Just note: it doesn’t come with an XLR cable, so you’ll need to buy one separately if you plan to use that connection. Only small downside is you might need to tweak your settings a little to get the best sound, but nothing complicated. Overall, for the price, it’s a really solid mic and a great choice if you’re starting out or just want a clean, no-hassle setup.

Best Product i Have ever Purchased. The sound Quality too good its must to buy if you are looking for a best mic in this price

I’ve been using this MAONO mic for a few days now, and I’m really happy with it. The sound quality is clear and crisp with 24-bit HiFi sound. I love the customizable EQ and tone presets – they really help in getting the sound just right for my voice. Setup was easy, and it works well with both USB and XLR. The boom arm included is sturdy too. Overall, a great mic for the price. Perfect for podcasting, gaming, or even YouTube videos!

I have a problem with my microphone; its recording volume is very low. I've checked several apps, but the sound is still recording low.

Very good product nice mic good looks easy to use . But I suggest to buy boom arm separately. Boom arm quality is very bad

Si buscas un micrófono versátil que ofrezca calidad de sonido para streams, podcasts o grabaciones, este modelo con brazo ajustable es una excelente opción. Su audio nítido y libre de ruidos molestos lo hace ideal para transmisiones en vivo, mientras que el brazo articulado permite ajustarlo cómodamente y es compatible con otros micrófonos. Además, incluye un filtro anti-pop que mejora la claridad de la voz y es fácil de instalar en PC, Mac y consolas sin necesidad de software complicado. como ventajas, destaca su estabilidad, facilidad de movimiento y compatibilidad, aunque la abrazadera del brazo podría ser más robusta para escritorios muy gruesos, lo que puede ser una limitante para usuarios avanzados. pero sin duda este micrófono con brazo ajustable es una excelente inversión para creadores de contenido que buscan mejorar la calidad de su audio en streams, podcasts o videos.

Excellent micro, rien d’autre à redire

Das Mikrofon ist für 60 € einfach unschlagbar. Es sieht gut aus und hat alles, was man so braucht. Man kann es per Typ-C oder XLR anschließen. Passend dazu habe ich mir das G1 Neo von Maono bestellt, damit ich es per XLR anschließen kann. Die Maono Link Software klappt ohne Probleme und hat auch schon direkt eine neue Firmware installiert, nicht mal 1 Minute und das Update war fertig. Der Boom Arm lässt sich einfach montieren und hält auch das Mikrofon sehr gut in Position. Die Soundqualität finde ich sehr gut. Man sollte aber nicht zu nah dran sein, sonst übersteuert es. Was man aber selber nochmal regeln kann am Mikrofon direkt. Die RGB Effekte lassen sich per Knopf einfach steuern und auch ausschalten. Der Touch Knopf zum Muten funktioniert auch sehr gut. Was ich persönlich sehr gut finde ist, damit man das Mikrofon an ein Smartphone ohne Probleme benutzen kann. Nur kann man dann leider nicht gleichzeitig die Aufnahme anhören, außer man schließt ein Headset an. Allen in allem, sein gutes Produkt, für wenig Geld. Ideal für Streamer oder Conten Creator en die frisch anfangen und nicht viel Geld ausgeben wollen, aber trozdem ein solide Qualität möchten.

if someone told me a few years ago I could get a usb/xlr combo mic, with rgb, and a high quality boom arm, for under 60 bucks, I'd have laughed at them, maono keep pushing the limits with their new releases and this combo is no exception. for parents looking to buy gear for their kids: stop researching and just buy this. not only does its audio quality perform perfectly for discord, game chat and streaming, but it also looks the part too. any kid would be super happy to have this setup at their battle station. it also offers room to grow with them due to its combo connectivity option. start in USB mode and use the provided software to fine tune to your preferences or pickup a XLR audio interface (like the mano caster neo g1!) for even more control at your fingertips. for streamers, you no longer need to mess around with filters in OBS, setup the mic exactly how you want via the software and let this thing shine on stream, it looks fantastic on camera too! The mic sounds incredible for the price, you're not going to get sm7b levels of audio from this thing, there is some slight noise that needs removing if your serious about audio production but for just about any kid/teen/streamer/podcaster this is 100% the best bang for your buck mic and boom setup you can currently buy. the boom arm is surprisingly well made and bodes confidence, a boom arm of this caliber alone should cost more than 30 bucks, so the value for this bundle is huge IMHO. if I could give this 6 stars I would, the sheer value and quality is through the roof in this price range in 2025!
