As a content creator, the xlr/usb dual connections of the MAONO PD100XS microphone makes my workflow so much easier. It gives me the flexibility to switch between setups easily—whether I’m recording quick voiceovers directly into Premiere via USB or connecting to an audio interface for more advanced projects. The cardioid capsule does an excellent job of cutting out background noise, even in my busy apartment. The tap-to-mute button is a simple yet effective feature that helps me avoid any mishaps during live recordings. One thing you cannot tell from the pictures is how light the whole setup is. Both the mic arm and the mic are very lightweight. The highlight is the customizable RGB lighting for me! I have yet to play with the Maono Link software but I think there’s many customizations available in the software too.

I was sort of skeptical about a cheaper gaming mic as the last one I tried before didn’t sound too great, but the Maono has a great value proposition, you get a mic arm included which by itself is 20$ of value or more. Along with an intuitive software with a bunch of feature to help with noise rejection and noise reduction.
I noticed it picked up very little background noise but be careful it has to be aimed directly at your mouth or it will have trouble picking your voice up. In the software you can configure how aggressive the noise reduction is along with some EQ for some extra control.
The mic arm is really similar to a $25 one i purchased a few years ago but with a better clamp that doesn’t pick up as much vibrations from the desk.
My son absolutely loves this guitar! The amp is so little and cute but pushes the sound quality of an expensive, big, normal amp. Plus it comes with an auto tuner, pics, strap and case. ALL pretty good quality. Definitely would order again –
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!

I have recently begun recording a series of instructional videos. I’ve been using the microphone built into my laptop for audio, and I knew it could be much better.
This microphone was very easy to set up, and it came with everything that I needed to attach it to my desk and use it with my MacBook Pro.
The arm stand uses a clamp mechanism to be bolted to the desk. It was very easy to install, and I appreciate that it has a felted pad so that it doesn’t scratch the top of my desk.
The microphone attaches to the other end, and you plug in the included USB-C cable to connect it to your computer. The cable helpfully comes with an adapter to change the USB-C to a USB-A if needed.
I do wish that there were some kind of channel for the cable to be run through along the arm of the stand to keep it tidy.
It was simple to get my operating system to see the Microphone and switch it to the preferred input. The controls on the microphone were easy to use and I appreciate the touch sensitive mute button.
I did some testing and determined that it does sound better than my built-in MacBook Pro speakers – plus it’s fun to use and I love the colours.
I would recommend this MAONO Dynamic Gaming Microphone.

As someone who’s always looking to upgrade their gaming and streaming setup, this mic has exceeded my expectations in every way. Here’s why:
1. The audio quality is phenomenal. It captures sound with crystal-clear precision, and focusing solely on your voice. Whether I’m recording a podcast, gaming, or chatting online, the clarity makes every interaction feel VEEERRRRY professional.
2. As this microphone is designed with gamers and streamers in mind. It pairs seamlessly with both PC and phone setups, making it incredibly versatile. The tap-to-mute feature is a lifesaver during live streams, ensuring I can quickly mute without fumbling for controls.
3. Installing this mic was a breeze. It took less than 5 mins. The included boom arm is sturdy and easy to adjust, letting me position the mic exactly where I need it.
4. Let’s talk aesthetics—The RGB lights add a vibrant touch to my gaming setup, syncing perfectly with the rest of my gear.
5. Given its exceptional performance and high-quality design, the price point is incredibly reasonable. You’re getting professional-grade audio and sleek design features without breaking the bank. It’s an investment that delivers tremendous value.
It’s reliable, stylish, and packed with features that make creating content a joy. Whether you’re a gamer, podcaster, or just need a top-tier mic for online chats, this microphone won’t disappoint.
Highly recommend!

This mic is not too bad here are my thoughts:
Pros:
1. Comes with a boom arm and integrated pop filter.
2. Nice and sleek looking mic with colourful light. It looks quite professional.
3. The mute button is touch sensitive preventing noises when pressed.
4. Organized 2 in one button to minimize buttons on the device.
5. Sound is quite smooth and the cardioid pattern is quite good to keep the side noises to a minimum.
6. Has XLR capability so you can better sound quality using an audio interface.
7. Comes with a USBA adapter cable for USBC to USBC to connect to your computer.
Cons:
1. The boom arm is the typical cheap style. It is slightly better than most but still cheap.
2. There is no shock mount for the mic. I think since it is mainly as marketed for gaming and not recording.
3. Putting the mic onto the boom arm was a bit tricky to twist it on. The screw adaptor is a bit hard to turn on and off especially when it is almost fully screwed in. So I kept it a bit light and not so tight.
4. The software does extend the mic a bit but only basic features mostly. It does have some equalizer effects but I didn’t try it out too much. Was a bit underwhelming when first used. I will look at it more.
5. Everything is very light and plasticky giving a slightly cheap feel.
6. No XLR cable included.
In summary, I think it may be slightly expensive for the quality of the mic. It sounds good using USBc cable and more definitely using the XLR cables but I think if you are going to buy a mic, it maybe better to get a mic that may be more professional. Meaning something with a shock mount, something made more out of metal and has built a reputation for quality. This is not to say it is not a quality mic. Just perhaps for the price you can get something more better.
I think this mic sounded quite good though and it could be a nice all in one mic for beginner to intermediate users.

Has a lightweight and sleek design that looks clean and minimal.
This dynamic microphone offers versatile connectivity options. It includes a USB-C to USB-C cable with a USB-A adapter, making it convenient for those without an audio interface. Alternatively, you can use an XLR cable, which is sold separately.
Comes with a spring boom arm which is not the best option and is poorly made however is still pretty good compared to the rest of the market and works perfectly for lightweight Mic such as this one.
This microphone features a touch-sensitive mute and 2 in 1 knob to mute headphones and control audio output volume, each with dedicated indicator lights to show when they are muted.
16 RGB color options to choose from to help match your setups aesthetic with brightness adjustment.
You can also download the Maono Link software for further customization, allowing you to adjust settings such as mic polar patterns and noise suppression, enabling you to enhance the microphone’s performance or tailor it to your personal preferences alongside this the mic comes with a pop filter to help minimize background noises which it does a pretty good job of.
Dislikes
No XLR cable provided with the microphone.
Does not pick up audio when about 20-30 cm away from the microphone.
The RGB lighting cannot be customized through software and you are only limited to the 16 options.
You cannot know if both mic and headphones are muted if both options are enabled.

Very good microphone and mic arm. Sound/voice comes out very clean/clear and background noise reduced immensely! Great price, arrived on time and perfect shape. Will be buying another for my other son.
