Overall Feedback:
86% positive
86% praised the sound quality, but 14% noticed background noise
The microphone has good sound quality, but not exceptional.
The microphone has high sound quality and installing programs with neural networks can further suppress background noise.
If I adjust the microphone settings in windows, the sound quality is great. The standard quality settings in windows are bad.

I did not mention anything specific about the build quality of the microphone.
I noticed that the mic picks up everything around the house and even then, it will crackle like a bonfire if someone shouts or is loud. This indicates poor build quality of the mic.

86% appreciated the adjustability, although 14% found it confusing
Adjusting the microphone was a simple process. I selected the input device instead of the camera microphone from the Zoom settings and it worked perfectly.
The microphone lacks physical volume controls, but it can be fixed by downloading software. However, turning a knob would be a better option.
The only downside of this mic is that the tightening dial for the pivot seems a bit weak.
