The microphone is a true plug and play microphone, with a 3 feet long USB cable that connects directly from the microphone to the PC. Using Windows 10, we were able to plug and play without any additional effort, external power supplies, or extra wiring (unlike the majority of other condenser mics in this price range).For the price, the sound recording quality is truly outstanding, offering very a very clear, but warm crisp sound in recordings. It was noticeably better in recordings in our comparison test with several alternatives in this price range. This microphone works extremely well as a general microphone for telephony or conference calls; but it really shines when used in gaming, podcasting, or even as a studio microphone for doing streaming and voice overs.The microphone comes with a sturdy desktop tripod and mounting. We're able to angle the microphone without any difficulty. The finish and construction is solid. While lighter than other condenser mics we've used in the past, this doesnt appear to affect it's functionality or the quality of its recordings. We recommend this for its portability, solid construction, great performance and affordability. It's a great microphone in a light and tight package.
