    HIGHTLIGHTS

    Low Noise - The noise level of ZINGYOU BM-800 just 16 dB(A). Thus, it is perfectly for vocals and audio productions in high definition as well as for demanding samples production and instrumental recordings

    Stability - The BM-800 shock mount's spider suspension isolates your studio microphone from handling and floor noise by decoupling it from the rest of your room. This results in clearer recordings with less unwanted low-frequency artifacts.

    Cardioid Pattern - Cardioid is the most widely used pattern in professional microphones. It provides reliable performance in both stage and studio. As you move around to the sides and bottom of the microphone, the cardioid pattern becomes less sensitive and will pickup less sound.

    Application – Great in both Vocal and Instruments, wide frequency response makes it an ideal mic to capture vocals, acoustic guitars, acoustic pianos and even strings as the condenser is able to capture all the subtleties and nuances inherent in these instruments.

    Customers like the value of the microphone. They say it is a great mic for little money, and records extremely well for the price.

    117 customers mention100 positive17 negative

    Customers like the appearance of the microphone. They say it looks good, sturdy, and well put together. They also appreciate the beautiful presentation on the box. The design is fairly simple, but an instructions manual is probably needed. The two finishes are excellent, and the sound is crisp and clear.

    "...The microphone itself looks very nice and is of decent material. Although my package did come very roughed up with minor damage to the product...." Read more

    810 customers mention429 positive381 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the microphone. Some mention that it's a quality mic, the components are built well, and the craftsmanship is A1. However, others say that the included USB sound card is not of good quality, the material is weak, and it bends easily.

    "...The reviews were pretty high, so I had hope that it would be decent. Boy, was I pleased when it arrived.I will start with the pluses...." Read more

    "...remember, this is not a dynamic condenser mic so it will pick up other sounds in the area that you are recording but if you are able to keep that..." Read more

    "...price and once it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how substantial the microphone, scissor arm mount, and accessories were...." Read more

    "...bar on the swing arm (to attach it to a desk or whatnot) is such weak material that it bends with just the slightest pressure...." Read more

    667 customers mention302 positive365 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the microphone. Some mention that the sound is good, the voice itself while recording sounds fairly crisp, and it helps negate some unnecessary audio. However, others say that it eminates a high-pitched noise, the recordings are not as loud as when using the USB sound, and the mic pickup is barely audible.

    "...The mic does pick up everything, so you will have to deal with ambient noise...." Read more

    "...The mix sounds great. The icing on the cake is it hooks right into a usb, and the usb comes with a headphone adapter, what a nice extra feature" Read more

    "...my laptop and I was able to use the microphone, though the recordings were not as loud as when using the USB sound card...." Read more

    "...off in a very quiet place you are going to get nothing but good quality sound from one of these microphones...." Read more

    460 customers mention160 positive300 negative

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the microphone. Some mention that it works well, the shock mount worked extraordinarily good, and the stand does a good job keeping the mic up and steady in the position. However, others say that it didn't work at all when connected to either their musical keyboard or their PC.

    "...So now I have a total of FOUR of these. Still, only one of them performs decently. A 25% chance of getting a decent mic is a pretty abysmal gamble." Read more

    "...The stand does a good job though keeping the mic up and steady in the position that you place it...." Read more

    "...However it does technically work and therefore i cannot completely knock it...." Read more

    "...On a personal note, mine will not function properly (with the adapter) unless run through a USB 3.0 port...." Read more

    197 customers mention134 positive63 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of setup of the microphone. Some mention that it's easy to setup and mount right to their desk with no issues, while others say that it was challenging at first to assemble, and you may run into some minor issues setting it up. The instructions are useless and the filters arm is very weak and requires a few minutes of finagling before it will sit correctly.

    "...but the microphone, shock mount, cable, and filters went together easily without using instructions. The scissor arm mount was also easy to mount...." Read more

    "...The box arrived and it looked super intimidating, but really it's pretty simple and straight forward to set up...." Read more

    "This is a really good microphone! It's not too suitable for beginners and desks wider than about 5cm, but other than that it's really good and has..." Read more

    "Easy to set up and for the price you are getting the armature, foam filter, pop filter, and an external USB sound card...." Read more

    63 customers mention23 positive40 negative

    Customers are mixed about the missing parts in the microphone. Some mention that the box comes with everything they need to mount it on their desk or table, including a couple extra accessories. However, others say that one piece had a part missing so they couldn't even attempt to attach it to a desk.

    "...The audio we were able to record was wildly inconsistent: one of us would sound just fine, the other's vocal quality was mediocre, while the third..." Read more

    "...So far I am very pleased with this microphone, mount, and all of the included accessories. Especially considering the price...." Read more

    "...After watching a video unboxing, it became clear that I was missing a plastic piece and would not be able to attach the mic...." Read more

    "...Overall , it’s a nice set to begin with although there was pieces missing. It’s not worth saving the couple extra bucks though...." Read more

    "...You can not plug the mic directly into your device's mic jack because it requires the extra power supplied by the USB...." Read more

    "...became clear that I was missing a plastic piece and would not be able to attach the mic...." Read more

    I was looking to add a second station to our podcast desk, but we are on a tight budget right now. I came across this kit searching for condenser mics and was a little floored at the price. Considering I was anticipating at least $150 for a lower end mic with shock mount, swing arm, and cables, this really caught my eye and I figured for $35 I could give it a shot. The reviews were pretty high, so I had hope that it would be decent. Boy, was I pleased when it arrived.I will start with the pluses. The packing was very professional, everything came in one box with individual compartments for each major item with the pop filter and cable laid on top. The mic itself is very sturdy and has weight to it when you hold it in your hand (I was worried it would be some light plastic piece of garbage). As a matter of fact, everything has a nice sturdy feel and is very well constructed. As it says in the description, you get a couple of connection options for cables, one XLR to 3.5mm mic and a USB to 3.5mm mic. So for users new to studio/podcasting mic setups, this is great.Which brings me to the minuses (if you want to call them that). The cables are definitely geared towards single person studio or desktop setups, so you are plugging directly to a computer as a single mic. If you are in a studio setting with multiple speakers, you are most likely going through a mixer, so you will need to connect it as such. This kit doesn't come with an XLR to XLR cable, so you will have to buy that separately. I knew this going in and was planning on buying my own cable anyway, so this wasn't that big of a deal for me, but I can see someone new to condenser mics running into this when buying for the first time.Second, the swing arm is a little smaller than I expected. It is roughly 15" per span, giving you around 30" of length, but because you can't really work with it extended all the way out, you have around 20 to 22" of usable length if you want some flexibility. If you have a deep desktop with no mount point to your immediate right or left from where you sit, the swing arm might not work for you. I got lucky in that our stations are open all the way around, so I had freedom of mounting close and it works out great. Again, this isn't a real big deal, but something you should know going in so you aren't surprised when it comes up.Also, regarding the swing arm, there really isn't any instruction on how to put the whole thing together. If you have any experience with microphone swing arms, this shouldn't be a big deal, but if you have never put one together, you might be a little confused. There is a diagram in the instructions showing what all the major pieces are, but here are a couple of things to make the construction a little smoother: The table mount - There is a little knob in the bag with the table mount that you might not be sure what it is for. If you look on the back of the table mount there is a little circle that looks like it is blocked by something. if you screw the knob into that circle, what happens is when you put the stand in the mount, it tightens a plate down on the arm to lock it in so it doesn't swing around freely. The shock mount - to put the mic into the shock mount, you need to squeeze the two hoops sticking out of one side of the mount. You will notice that when you squeeze those together the mount opens up enough to let you slide the mic into the center.Finally, this is both a plus and minus for me, but I can see it being an issue for people new to podcasting and recording. The mic does pick up everything, so you will have to deal with ambient noise. My other mic has settings for unidirectional, bidirectional, and one directional, as well as high and low pass filters, so I can deal with noise right at the mic first. But this one will require you to either soundproof your recording area or deal with noise via some other method, whether that be hardware like a mixer, or software like Protools, Adobe Audition, or some other audio software. Again, for me, this is not a huge deal as I have all of the above in my audio pipeline, but something you should be aware of.Overall this is a great kit and I am going to buy a couple more for my desk at my day job, as well as my home office machine where I do instructional podcasts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good Sound Quality - Excellent Value
    Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2019
    I ordered the ZINGYOU BM-800 Microphone and Accessories I hopes that I could get a little bit better sound quality then what I was getting from the built-in microphone on my laptop and a couple of inexpensive microphones I have accumulated over the years.

    I honestly wasn't expecting very much for the price and once it arrived I was pleasantly surprised at how substantial the microphone, scissor arm mount, and accessories were. I originally thought that the set-up was going to be much smaller and I would just store it in a desk drawer between uses. So I changed plans and set up a dedicated recording area in a spare room.

    The installation appeared to be daunting at first, but the microphone, shock mount, cable, and filters went together easily without using instructions. The scissor arm mount was also easy to mount. The cheap desk that I am using for now did not have a lip on the top, so I attached the scissor-arm mount to a shelfing unit next to the desk. (The scissor-arm mount plenty long and adjusts easily so finding a mounting spot should be fairly easy.)

    After that I just plugged in the power cable to the microphone and then into the included USB sound card, and then plugged the USB sound card into an open USB port on my laptop. My Windows 10 computer recognized the USB sound card immediately and I was up and running.

    Using the built-in audio editor in Windows 10 I was very pleased with my first recordings. The built-in Windows 10 audio editor is limited however, so I installed a free audio editing software from Audacity that is simply awesome.

    After experimenting with recordings using the USB sound card I tried just plugging the audio cable directly into my laptop and I was able to use the microphone, though the recordings were not as loud as when using the USB sound card. I'm not an audio expert by any means, but from the reviews I have read it appears that different computers and sound cards will yield different results. Some users use a Phantom Power Supply that is used to supply power to microphones like these and are rather inexpensive and can be found on Amazon.

    So far I am very pleased with this microphone, mount, and all of the included accessories. Especially considering the price. The only nitpick so far is I don't like having to unplug the USB sound card if I want to listen to my recording thru my laptop's speakers and not a headset. (There may be workaround on this but I haven't figured it out yet.)

    If I experience any issues I will update this review.

    En primera me encantó el precio y sus accesorios, viene con todo listo para que te pongas a grabar en mi caso yo lo usaré para striming o grabaciones de mis clientes que visitan el estudio se los recomiendo ampliamente y aparte es muy sensible al sonido...... está excelente.......
