Good for Basic Recording, but Several Issues

ByRichard Allenon May 12, 2016

style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

It's a decent mic, but it has its flaws.

For one, being a cardioid mic, it pics up a heck of a lot of background noise. Even with a windshield on it, there is still a very audible murmur in the background. Even after moving the mic further away from the noise source (a computer), it was still picking up the extra hum. I ended up having to use software to remove the extra noise.

Also there is a small blue light on the front of the mic that turns on when the mic is powered. That little light burned out after only a month or so of use. The mic still works, but, to me, it very well might be a warning that the mic will die soon which I sincerely hope it doesn't.

Minus the hum, the sound quality is alright. It's not an expensive mic so I wasn't expecting perfection.

All in all, I would probably have shopped around a little more if I had known that the quality of the recordings would be at the level they currently are. As it is if a better option comes along at a good price, I will probably replace this mic.

After a year Review

BySlipperySnailon December 20, 2014

style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

Purchase Date : 11/17/14
Edit Date : 7/10/15 , To be more informative.
Hello prospective reader, to those that plan on recording their voices for say, a YouTube channel, allow me to just suggest trying out some of the cheap microphones you can easily get from a headset. I purchased this product for $56.99, and what comes along is a neat plastic box containing therein: a cheaply-made plastic 3-legged microphone stand, the premium-feeling USB Microphone itself, a USB-A to USB-B male converter, along with the manual.

As much as this can be construed as a shameless plug to my YouTube channel, if you check out my "Blacklight Retribution Playlist" ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu061wCwBpHOen2XExy44Y9TnffVtwdIF) and start from #18 from the playlist, you will be able to differentiate the difference over using this Microphone and using a built-in laptop microphone. #18 is Pain, which is me while using the Microphone, and #19 is Ninjas, where I use a built-in Laptop Microphone. Something to mention is that I did have a pop filter attached in #18, but after testing the microphone without the filter, the change is mostly negligible. (At least in my opinion.)

To sum up, the built-in laptop microphone couldn't stand a chance. This microphone pretty much felt like it was on a wholly different level better. After my first time testing out the microphone, you can definitely recognize the difference between the consumer-grade and professional-grade microphones. That's not to say, I've tested microphones that are in a studio, but the extra money to invest in a microphone over a consumer-grade headset is worth it.

All things considered, buying this microphone is a great first investment if you're certain on "becoming famous" so to say on YouTube. A lot of people say neat things on the Blue Yeti and the Blue Snowball, and they may be right on their products. I'm just saying that if you're looking to invest money into a microphone, you might as well research what kind so that you don't end up putting well over $100 on extra features. That said, I guess a more apt comparison would be the Blue Snowball and the Microphone. The Blue Yeti costs approximately $50 more, but offers more features for more situations, so unless you're only going to be recording your own voice, the Blue Yeti might fit your needs. Since I have not purchased the Blue Snowball, I don't have an opinion on it. Under the white color, it is significantly cheaper and offers different recording styles, but the recording itself may not be as optimal. ($48.99 as of 7/10/15)

As for Audio-Technica themselves, I'm not sure if I'm ready to say I'm a fan of their products. I have purchased an Audio technica ATHM50 Headphone set a couple of years earlier, and I haven't managed to break them just yet despite putting some heavy load of pressure on them while having heavy gaming sessions, so I'm glad I have that going for me. As of 7/7/15, I "broke" my microphone and I've sent it back to Audio-Technica through a warranty for repairs.

Audio-Technica provides a lifetime warranty for people that purchase this microphone in the US, just as long as they fill out the warranty form and ship it to them. They state on their website they will be able to repair it in about a week give or take and send it back using UPS Air Next Day, so I'll be updating as necessary. My hopes are that it will come back working as per usual.

Superb audio quality

ByJonathan L.on May 31, 2016

style: MicrophoneVerified Purchase

I know a lot of other reviewers have concerns with this microphone, and to be fair I find that the buttons on the device are very cheaply made. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by just how good the ATR2500 is. The audio quality is absolutely phenomenal for being USB driven. I have received SEVERAL comments about how clear my voice is. I even use it for YouTube video production where the audio quality of my videos increased substantially after switching from a Steelseries gaming headset to this microphone.

It's a little pricey, but what you're getting is something really extraordinary. I would suggest purchasing it with a mount, though. The included stand is absolute garbage.
