Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone with Table Stand | Plug & Play Design, for Podcasting & Streaming | Cardioid Condenser Capsule | 1.2m USB-C Cable Included | Black (700065)

So far, it's proved a very good microphone. Easy to set up, not software nor driver to install. The microphone is too quiet by default for it to be placed on a desk (instead of infront of the mouth), but I found that increasing the gain in the system settings to 120% fixed that small issue. The microphone has a sensible size and a reassuring weight. The audio pass through can double as a high quality audio out if you turn the dial to 100% desktop audio. The mute button is visually responsive and light to press. All in all, for a USB condenser microphone it's great value.

It is a good microphone, a bit on the expensive side, but it’s justified for the quality. The recording are clear and the noise suppression is really good. Recommended

1. Design & Build Quality ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ 🖥️ Compact Look: Sleek, professional, and fits any setup! However, the stand is a bit too short for long-term comfort—you might want to invest in a separate stand or boom arm for a better reach. 🔌 Plug & Play: Just plug in the USB, and you’re ready to record—no extra setup needed! 2. Durability ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🛠️ Solid & Sturdy: The metal build feels durable, and after 4 months, it’s still in perfect shape. The included stand is stable, but a boom arm would make a great addition to avoid adjusting constantly. 3. Ease of Use ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🎛️ Intuitive Controls: Four main buttons for easy, quick adjustments: 🎚️ Gain: Adjusts mic sensitivity. 🔊 Volume: Controls headphone sound for monitoring. 🔇 Mute: Instantly silences the mic when needed. 🔄 Mix: Lets you balance mic and playback audio, perfect for multitasking. 4. Performance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🎤 Crystal Clear Sound: Provides clear, detailed audio with minimal background noise, especially when placed close by. Perfect for podcasts, live streaming, and voiceovers! 5. Value for Money ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💸 Great Bang for Your Buck: Excellent audio quality without breaking the bank. This mic is an ideal choice for podcasters or creators looking for pro-level sound on a budget. 6.

Final Thoughts – Overall Rating: The Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone with Table Stand is an excellent choice for clear, easy-to-use audio. Though the stand could be taller, the quality and features make it a great buy. 🎙️ Perfect for podcasts, streaming, and voiceovers alike! 🌟 Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.6/5)

Great microphone I purchased originally a sound card and microphone prior to ordering my MacBook Air m4 machine last year, With a view to create podcasts and zoom sales calls sadly the previous one was not up to scratch so desperately as setting up my home office chose this as it seemed to be plug and play On arrival I was amazed the connection was straight away just plug setup zoom and it was on a Amazon spring deal so value for money compared to previous one I had Weight is light also completed to previous one Sound quality is great too I kept my old boom arm and added this mic can pick up when I forget to turn off YouTube videos and sounds for talking it great too just remember if you loom or zoom and in pc or Mac settings to add the mic as it’s named microphone otherwise it will be not working Never bought the arm as already had one but happy with purchase and connectivity and functionality works very well for my projects Weight also is very light bit like a singing microphone on a karaoke machine bottom screws on great to boom arm but can also use as a desk microphone with a holding stand weight is about 4grams No issues thank you Amazon

I should start by saying that I am no voiceover artist or audio professional, but I needed a mic that I could use over Zoom/Teams, etc. I'm so impressed with the Sennheiser Profile. I watched quite a few comparative YouTube videos (as is my way) before purchasing it, but you never really know until you receive something, whether it'll live up to expectations, but this mic certainly has. It is literally a plug-n-play microphone, out of the box, plug it into my laptop and I was away. Don't forget to pop into the Zoom settings to help it recognize your new mic (I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out why I could hear the other person but they couldn't hear me until I worked that one out, but that's my issue, not the mic's). Everyone's commented on how crisp my voice sounds now, no background noise, just clear audio. The YouTube video's I'd watched gave me guidance on how far away the mic should be and the settings it should be at (essentially, unless you're a professional, all the dials on the front can be at their center points). If I had to be picky, the one issue I had with it is that it comes with a USBC to USBC cable and my laptop does not have a USBC port, but I happened to have a USBC to USB cable here to I just used that instead. So, in summary, great mic, surprisingly affordable, happy customer!

The Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone delivers excellent noise rejection while maintaining a very natural and balanced sound. With the right software configuration, it shines as an ideal choice for streaming or podcasting. Easy to use and built with Sennheiser’s trusted quality, it’s a reliable option for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup.

Davvero un ottimo microfono. Funziona benissimo, facilissimo da installare e la compatibilità con altri prodotti Sennheiser è fantastica

Niestety firma Sennheiser ostatnio bardzo obniżyła jakość i wprost przyznaje, że jej tańsze sprzęty psują się bardzo szybko. Cóż - kapitalizm. Ale ten mikrofon nie jest tańszy, więc po pewnym czasie używania wszystko jest z nim ok.

This microphone is great, super fast and easy plug and play with everything you need on the microphone but the only thing is when using the ps5 you have to use the headphone audio jack because it keeps switching but maybe with some playing around in the settings you could fix that and i highly recommend a microphone arm if your in a loud environment then turn the mic volume down it blocks out tv noise and has a quick mute button so if your dad is yelling at your brother to do his work that has been due for 6 weeks and just starting on now non of your friends will hear it

Ich bin Jahrelanger Nutzer des Auna Mics 900b und bin mit der Qualität auch sehr zufrieden. Nun nach 8 Jahren funktionierte es immer noch, allerdings störten mich ein paar Kleinigkeiten schon längere Zeit. Das Mikrofon nahm jedes Geräusch im Zimmer auf und auch der Anschluss über das "Druckerkabel", sowie fehlende Möglichkeiten zum Stummschalten, störten im Alltag. Das Kondensator Richtmikro war geboren und unter anderem brachte Sennheiser nun auch ein ziemliches umfangreiches auf den Markt. Das Sennheiser Profile USB. Als normaler PC Nutzer verzichtet man hier gerne auf Studioanschlüsse und bekommt dafür einen tollen Standard USB-C. Zur Klangqualität, kann ich nur sagen. Top. Sehr ausgeglichen und man muss nichts mehr einstellen. Es ist jetzt keine Weltneuheit aber auf einem Level mit anderen Mikrofonen wie meinem Auna Mic oder Mikrofone wie dem Rode Podmic oder NT. Und das für einen sehr fairen Preis von ab 90€. Aber was deutlich besser ist, ist die Isolierung der Stimme. Hier können viele andere normale Kondensator Mikrofone nicht mithalten wie das Auna oder andere. Natürlich sind diese vielleicht auch teilweise genau dafür ausgelegt, den gesamten Raum aufzunehmen. Aber genau deswegen, bezieht sich meine Rezension eher auf den normalen PC Nutzer, der gerne mit Freunden reden will oder in einem nicht isolierten Raum Gesang oder anderes aufnehmen möchte. Mit dem Mikrofon kann man sehr zielgerichtet, in sehr guter Qualität, Musik oder Stimmen aufnehmen, an einem Computer. Zusätzlich bietet das Mikrofon tolle Buttons um Beispielsweise, den Pegel (Stimme/Aufnahme) lauter zu drehen und die, falls vorhanden und genutzten, Klinkenkopfhörer von den Seiten einzustellen und das ausgegebene Audio wieder auf den PC zu übertragen. Ich nutze nur die Mute Taste und die Pegeleinstellungen, deswegen kann ich zu den Funktionen, interessant als Musiker, nicht so viel sagen außer, dass sie funktionieren. Zusammengefasst bietet das Sennheiser Profile USB, eine Top Tonqualität, Zielgerichtete Stimm- und Musikaufnahmen. Viele Pegel Einstellungsmöglichkeiten und Ein- und Ausgabe Features am Mikrofon selber. Sowie einen einfachen Anschluss am PC. Top für den Preis m.M.. Das Mikrofon ist nicht für Menschen, die am Mischpulten o.a. im Studio arbeiten wollen. Es richtet sich an den normalen PC Nutzer, der eine sehr gute und isolierte Stimmqualität haben will. Und das macht das Mikrofon sehr gut.

Good product, good sound quality
