Dynamic Microphone, USB/XLR Podcast PC Microphone with Software, EQ,Tap-to-Mute, Headphone Jack, Gain Knob & Volume Control, Studio Mic for Broadcast, Recording, Streaming & Gaming (PD400X)

The MAONO Dynamic Microphone is an impressive piece of gear, especially considering its price point. As someone who uses microphones regularly for podcasting and streaming, I’m thrilled with the performance this mic delivers. The sound quality is clear, rich, and focused, capturing my voice with excellent clarity while minimizing background noise. One of the standout features is that this mic offers both USB and XLR connectivity. This flexibility is fantastic, as it allows you to use it with a wide range of devices. Whether you’re plugging directly into your computer via USB for a quick setup or using an XLR interface for a more professional audio chain, this mic has you covered. The build quality is solid, with a sturdy design that feels durable and professional. It’s easy to set up, and the mic works well with various audio interfaces and mixers. I also appreciate that it’s versatile enough for different environments—whether I’m recording in a treated studio space or a less controlled setting, the MAONO Dynamic Microphone consistently delivers. What stands out the most is how it compares to other dynamic microphones at this price range. It holds its own against much more expensive options, making it a fantastic value for anyone looking to upgrade their audio setup without breaking the bank. Overall, if you’re in the market for a reliable, high-quality dynamic microphone with both USB and XLR options, the MAONO Dynamic Microphone is a great choice. Highly recommended!

Great quality with suitably calibrated settings for use even plugged directly in USB from box. Sound is very pleasant, captures nice balance of richness of base without feeling heavy or modified. Hefty and durable, quality is apparent in build, though requires appropriately sturdy mounting. USB/XLR combo is great for permanent or on-the-go, and the local button interface is both stylish and gives great control over required functionality through quick profile swaps at a touch. Default noise cancellation and clarity is fantastic for regular speech, with phenomenal handling of plosives (p/b/t/etc.), but some editing or adjustment appropriate for fricatives (s/f). Great overall.

The quality of this product was unexpectedly high, i love the packaging, the sound and the software . It lasts for long , the material is super nice It’s easily adaptable and manageable!! Really the best purchase for this price

I bought this as an upgrade to my Astro a50, because the mic on it sucks. But this new microphone while not being a completely budget microphone is definitely worth the money. The software is phenomenal as well. If you're like me and your beginner at using studio type microphones, then this is a great entry point with good software to get you started. I don't really do any actual studio recording, but I play a lot of games and I got tired of my microphone sound like I was FDR telling people about Pearl harbor. It's a really small and heavy duty microphone. It's made out of solid metal except for the gain knob and the screws that hold it to the mount. Other than that it's fantastic. It has some weight to it so it feels nice and premium, and overall just a fantastic microphone. The sound quality is fantastic as well especially right out of the box before you do anything with the software. I also want to take note of their amazing customer service. The one that I got originally had a issue with the USBC port, I noticed it after my cats would rub their head on it It would just start disconnecting. So I just sent them an email and they were quick to respond and quick to just issue out a whole new product to me. I received a brand new microphone two days later and this one doesn't have an issue at all. Phenomenal customer service, and a phenomenal product for the money that you're paying. I bought their low profile boom arm as well, huge fan of it and it doesn't make a lot of noise that other people can hear or that you can hear yourself.

The microphone is really good for it’s price. The sound quality is good! Obviously you can get small noise but for the value it’s passable imo. The overall quality feels great, for example it’s kinda heavy and the materials feel with good quality. I’m using it for the moment with USB C and you can use the Maono link app where you can tweak gain, use limiter, compressor, and even noise gate which is really good isolating some background noise, HOWEVER when you are talking that background noise can be taken by the Microphone. The only complaint I have is that the microphone came with a small damage on its surface (picture) but overall is good considering I bought it on sale ($108 usd) and I guess that’s the only defect it has.

The mic is excellent for its price. I would recommend a better design for the stand it is really short and rigid, and it would be better if it were more flexible

Ho acquistato il MAONO PD400X per streaming, registrazioni e videoconferenze, sia collegandolo al PC tramite USB-C sia testando la connessione XLR con scheda audio esterna. La qualità costruttiva è eccellente, solida e professionale. Fin dal primo utilizzo il microfono trasmette affidabilità e precisione audio, con prestazioni di livello superiore rispetto ad altri microfoni della stessa fascia di prezzo. La possibilità di scegliere tra USB-C (plug & play, comoda per utenti meno esigenti) e XLR (per chi possiede scheda audio o mixer) lo rende estremamente versatile. La resa sonora è chiara, dettagliata e comparabile a prodotti professionali più costosi. Grazie a questa flessibilità, il PD400X si adatta sia a chi vuole un microfono pronto all’uso sia a chi cerca una configurazione più avanzata e professionale. Pro • Qualità costruttiva e materiali eccellenti • Prestazioni audio elevate, molto dettagliate • Connessione USB-C e XLR per massima versatilità • Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo • Ideale per streaming, podcasting e registrazioni semi-professionali Contro • Nessuno significativo → prodotto conforme alle aspettative Consigliato a streamer, podcaster, musicisti e content creator che cercano un microfono versatile e di fascia medio-alta. Meno indicato a chi cerca un microfono economico entry-level senza esigenze di qualità professionale. Rapporto qualità/prezzo: Eccellente Lo ricomprerei: Assolutamente sì

No dejes pasar la oportunidad de comprar este micrófono. Compite con cualquier micrófono de estudio caro. Suena casi tan bien como mi Neumann U87 Ai (¡un micrófono de $50,000!). Es más que perfecto para grabar, podcasts, videojuegos, etc. ¡Lo recomiendo muchísimo! Do not pass up the opportunity to buy this mic. This rivals any expensive studio voice mic. It even sounds almost as good as my Neumann U87 Ai (a $50,000 peso mic!). This is more than perfect for recording, podcast, gaming, etc. I HIGHLY recommend!

Muy buena calidad del material de fabricación y también en el sonido. Lo que mejoraría es la ubicación del botón de silenciar el micrófono, y haría un poco más alta o ajustable la base.

I’ve only had the Maono PD400X for a few days but I’m impressed so far. The mic feels sturdy and has a nice weight to it. Setup with USB was super easy and it worked right away on my laptop. The sound is clear and already a big step up from the budget mic I was using before. One thing I’ve noticed is that it sounds best when you speak fairly close to it and slightly off to the side to avoid harsh “p” sounds. A separate pop filter or foam cover also helps if you want cleaner vocals. I like that it has both USB and XLR, so I can start simple now but still have the option to expand later. Early days, but I think this is a great mic for anyone wanting better sound without jumping into super expensive gear.
