[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Epic Talk usb microphone from JLab is an exceptional piece of audio recording equipment. I have found that it is well-suited to a range of applications, including virtual meetings, podcasting, and solo audio recording. Four directional patterns (cordioid, omni, stereo, and bidirectional) ensure that you can find the right setting for a wide variety of needs. It has an industry-standard USB plug for connection to your computer. The controls on the mic itself are convenient and effective, eliminating the need to search through digital menus in order to find what you need; you can mute, adjust volume/gain, and change patterns at the tap of a button or turn of a dial. In my experience, I found that the quality was crisp, clear, without interference or static. It makes a world of difference compared to my built-in microphone and last two desktop ones. A two-year factory direct warranty and 30 day satisfaction guarantee help provide me peace of mind in knowing that if something goes wrong, I can reach out to JLab and not have to negotiate through a third party.
