Review: Nice USB microphone at a great price. - The MQ2
microphone arrived in a small cardboard box with a plastic tray
inside. The box contained the mic cable, a foam windscreen cover,
and small paper User Guide (with multiple languages. Two clothing
clips were attached to the microphone cable, and a dust cover was
on the USB connector. One side of the windscreen had been pinched
between the inner plastic tray and cardboard box, leaving it
slightly misshaped. But that spot went away and is unnoticeable a
few days after it was out of the box. The paper manual is a
generic guide that applies to many products. The website link
provided to download an Instruction Manual ( millso.com/download
) did not load any web page at all. I was able to quickly find
their website and locate another download link for manuals
( https://www.millso.com/download.php ) but the MQ2 is not listed.
I assume no additional Instruction Manual is available at this
time for this new product. That said, I did not require any type
of manual to get this microphone to work on my computer using
Windows 11 Pro. I just plugged in the USB cable, waited a few
seconds while Windows detected and installed the new 'USB PnP
Sound Device', and the mic was setup and ready to use. I used the
Zoom video conference program to test the microphone, which was
listed as an option called "Microphone (USB PnP Sound Device)". I
found the audio quality of this microphone to be very good.
Speaking towards the mic from all directions, it picks up the
sound from all directions and is understandable. The front and
side with the grill holes was slightly louder as expected, but
not drastically so. It will be useful as a general area
microphone in conversational environments, but may have issues if
any loud or annoying noises are present in the area. The two
clips on the wire are functional to hold the wire to basic
clothing, and can be placed anywhere along the wire. The
microphone will dangle and move around however if attached to a
person with just these clips. Adjusting the mic so the side holes
are not facing into clothing will take some fiddling with the
clips on the wire, and even then the relatively large and heavy
mic body (as compared to the flexible wire) will probably move
around while attached to a person's clothing. Some type of
alternate clip (not provided) that attaches directly to the hard
plastic case would be preferable if you need a clip-on solution.
Sitting the mic on a flat surface that doesn't move, or attaching
it with tape/rubber bands/etc should also work. I would NOT
recommend placing the wire clips right at the point where the
wire enters the plastic case, as the weight of the mic pulling on
the cable where it enters the case will put a lot of strain on
the cable over time and possibly damage it. Best to attach the
plastic body itself directly to whatever will be supporting it,
and just using the wire clips as wire management to keep the wire
under control. Allowing the mic to hang loose and "upside down"
as shown in one of the product images works as sound is picked up
in that orientation, regardless of the esthetics of that look.
Overall my initial impression of the MillSO M2Q is that it is an
excellent value for it's price. It worked as expected as a
Windows Plug and Play device, it can be easily moved around
and/or attached as needed, and the audio quality was clean and
noise-free from my initial testing. As a convenient detachable
microphone that can be stored in your laptop case to a permanent
microphone installed for a desktop, this inexpensive microphone
should work for a wide range of uses.
Review: A product you must have for speaking using your computer
- The MillSO USB Lavalier Microphone with headphones jack is an
impressive choice for anyone in need of a reliable,
budget-friendly audio solution. This compact lavalier microphone
delivers clear, professional-quality sound, making it ideal for
podcasts, interviews, online meetings, and content creation. The
built-in USB connector allows for plug-and-play functionality,
ensuring compatibility with PCs, laptops, and even some tablets
without the need for additional drivers. A standout feature is
the integrated headphone jack, which provides real-time audio
monitoring. This is particularly useful for ensuring sound levels
and quality during recordings. The microphone's omnidirectional
pickup captures sound from all directions, providing a natural
and balanced audio experience. One minor downside is that the
cable length might feel short for some setups, but its sufficient
for most close-range recording needs. Overall, the MIllSO USB
lavalier Microphone offers excellent value, combining
high-quality audio performance, ease of use, and practical
features, making it a great investment for both beginners and
professional equally.
