I first heard about this mic being touted as having a built in RTX voice, which is great at cancelling your typical rhythmic, predictive background noise like a fan running or a mechanical keyboard typing sound. My previous setup was a simple Blue Snowball ICE standing behind the keyboard with RTX Voice on and with this set up, my friends are not able to hear me type or hear my ceiling fan directly above me even when I'm talking. However, there are two gripes I've had with the setup that led me to purchase this mic:1) I'm using the alpha/beta RTX voice with a GTX 1080 Ti as I do not have an RTX card to be using the Nvidia Broadcast version. While this software works well most of the time, there are occasions where it either glitches out and produces very loud static noise to the other party instead of my voice and I'd have to restart RTX voice or I've had times where it likely crashed silently and I notice the other party can't hear me until I check and realize that RTX voice isn't running in the background as it should be. A hardware based RTX voice would eliminate my need to rely on this buggy software.2) RTX voice, while amazing for what it does cancel, does not work particularly well to cancel other types of noise like music or youtube video playing in the background, especially when someone is talking in a youtube video or movie. This is understandable as generally this type of noise cancelling is not meant to cancel out human voice to begin with, but it does mean that I have to mute my mic whenever I have these types of things in the background while in voice chat. It is particularly problematic if I'm watching along with a group in voice chat where I'd have to unmute and mute back if I want to say something while we are watching. I did not have high hopes that a new mic would fix this scenario as I tried various other things before such as a dynamic mic without much better results, so I've mostly stuck with the previous setup until now and really only purchased this Tonor mic as it was on sale and potentially would allow me to drop RTX voice like mentioned above.Now on to the impressions of this mic. For this impression, the mic is on the desk in the included standard mount positioned right behind my keyboard (basically where my previous mic was). I tested by recording my input audio via audacity to monitor what the mic picks up and also verified my tests with a friend in voice chat after that. The volume of the mic is set to half yellow/half orange and the noise cancelling feature is set to on. I also disabled RTX voice for the test:-The overall build of the mic is super solid and the included base has some weight to prevent it from shifting around. There's also a shock mount included and it's all assembled and ready to go out of the box. I am super satisfied with the look and build quality along with the features included.-Immediately I notice right away that it does not do a good job of cancelling my keyboard typing sound. My friend also told me that he could hear a bit of the ceiling fan sound from above me. At this point, I thought I simply fell for the marketing scheme.-HOWEVER, it does seem to be MUCH better than RTX voice at rejecting noise behind the mic, such as TV in the background or people talking on youtube. I have tested this with some friends in voice chat and I have played music, youtube videos, and watched a movie together where I have my speakers going at a pretty loud volume and it does not get picked up by the mic at all! If I crank my speakers super loud, it does get picked up by the mic eventually, but I can have it at a level that is loud enough for normal listening without getting picked up by the mic-I noticed when looking closer that the mic has grills not only on the front but also the back. I suspect that the noise rejection is primarily happening for noise behind the mic rather than the front of the mic which is why it would pick up the keyboard noise directly in front of it but not some louder music playing from my speakers behind it. Because of this, I suspect if you have the mic set up with a boom arm closer to your mouth and in front of the keyboard, it would do a better job at cancelling the keyboard sound vs at the desk behind the keyboard, but I can't really test this scenario with my setup unfortunately.-Another observation is that I also notice that unlike the Snowball ICE, this mic does not level my volume as much so if I speak more quietly, I will come across more quietly to the other person. With the Snowball, whether I am farther or closer to the mic as well as speaking more quietly or normally doesn't seem to affect how loud I come across much, which can be beneficial when I'm leaning back on my recliner or just generally not projecting my voice as much. While it's a bit of a negative downside for me, I don't think that it's an issue with the mic itself and likely just has to do with the condenser capsule design, but thought I'd mention it here. It's likely that the Snowball ICE would be better if you were say trying to record multiple instruments for a song. This mic is primarily meant for general voice chat use even though both are condenser mics.-The other thing that doesn't really bother me but I know bothers a lot of people is that the lights for the volume and noise cancelling stays on and is decently bright (not blinding, but it is there). While there's no off button on the mic, you can tap on the top to mute the mic and that turns off the big volume light. Turning off the noise cancel button turns off that specific light too. I personally see it as a positive that I have a light indicator to let me know whether I am muted or not, but I know that some people are sensitive to the light.Overall, I ended up seeing this mic as a pretty good value. It has many features missing in other mics for the same price, and includes a noise cancelling feature that is unheard of for this price and works well. At $70 or higher, it is a bit pricey, but I think it is a steal at the $43 price during this black friday sale. In fact, I picked up another one as a backup! Ultimately, it unfortunately doesn't eliminate my need to keep using the buggy RTX voice, but overall, I do see it as a big improvement over my previous setup as it eliminated issue no. 2 that I had given up on solving, so I would recommend this mic!

The mic works way better then expected. I have an extremely noisy room with window ac, 3d printer, fans running, pc... Etc so very loud background noise so was worried it would pick up everything nope. This mic paired with the steelseries sonar app and this mic is clearer then any gaming headset mic I've ever used. My friends on discord said its extremely clear and they hardly ever hear any background noise. Normally I'd hate the rgb, but it's super cool it turns red when muted and you can urn off the rgb by holding the mute button for 5 seconds. Best move I ever made was buying this mic and quit using gaming headsets. Buy this mic and you can just use whatever headphones you want and will get way better audio quality out of both vs a "gaming headset"

I needed something better than built-in webcam mics which I've used for years. I did not want a streamer style setup, but something competent at picking up my voice and not the background. I don't listen to myself through this mic other than mic tests in Discord, for instance, but have not had any complaints from listeners about the quality or volume of my voice, other than a slight echo that is probably from my voice bouncing off the desk.I tested mounting options with a 3D printed monitor mount, but have settled for a compact desk mount that keeps it beneath my monitors. I appreciate that it can simply be unscrewed from a mount and swapped to various configurations.The microphone itself feels like it's made of high quality materials, and has a hefty weight to it. The pop filter looks good so I just keep it on, even though I probably don't need it.

I use this mic to record my podcast through OBS and it sound great! I did have to get a foam pop filter to replace the screen pop filter it came with but that is because I have multiple fans blowing in the room I record in. The arm works with my tiny desk and is pretty intuitive to work with. I might have to get a mixer in the future if I want to fine tune and goof around a bit but for now this mic is all I need.

Update: Tonor reached out to me after hearing about the problem with my mic. I am raising to 5 for their response (they did not ask me to update my review, I do appreciate their attentiveness and recommend buying from them). I'm not sure if it was just my mic having the fuzzy audio when trying the zero latency or if all the mics have it. Might try them again in the future because I feel they would be willing to help me with tech support.Original: 3/5 starsGood for the price, however there is a lot of background noise when using the direct zero latency voice listening through my earphones so it is difficult to use. I tried changing settings as well but only way to get rid of it is running through another software with noise suppression. Lowering the gain makes it too quiet.

Very simple plug-in play connectivity. Sound quality is decent for the price range of this microphone. I use the mic for general purposes on my computer. No issues.

The media could not be loaded.  Muy funcional. No necesitas instalar un programa de ecualizador. Quita el ruido y funciona para hacer streaming. La voz se escucha muy bien (sonido Limpio y claro)

He grabado algunos audios para proyectos de YouTube con el y funciona perfecto, no soy profesional y procuro grabar cuando no hay mucho ruido, pero si hace una diferencia de micrófonos anteriores que he probado, este se ve y escucha muy bien

Works great and is super easy to set up. After 2 months of daily use I have no issues, everyone says they hear me 5x5. Would recommend. Great price. Good Looks, Fabulous!

Esperei usar antes de avalair e sendo assim, digo muito bom, captação, custo benefício. satisfeito até o momento

I was extremely disappointed with the TONOR RGB USB Microphone. The sound quality is subpar at best, with noticeable distortion and poor clarity. The tripod stand feels flimsy, and the pop filter does little to reduce plosive sounds. Save your money and invest in a more reliable microphone for your streaming or podcasting needs.
