About Audio-Technica ATR2500x-USB Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Overall Feedback:
67% positive
74% appreciated its convenient connectivity options, although 26% found it lacked wireless capabilities
The microphone has USB (USB-C) and XLR outputs with a headphone monitoring socket.
The microphone comes with a USB C to USB C cable which works well on my android phone. However, the USB C standard is not implemented correctly, so third party cables might not work.
70% praised for its rugged build quality, while 30% found it fragile
I have been using the mic for about a month and it has held up so far, despite some reviews stating that the stand breaks easily.
If you plug the microphone directly into a PC, it may burn out due to the USB connection being electrically unregulated.
I used the tabletop tripod and the plastic bit broke the first time. It was weak and snapped after a few twists.
The stand that came with my mic was fragile and broke almost immediately.

72% appreciated its wide frequency range
The microphone does a good job of picking up only my voice and not a lot of background noise.
Dynamic cardioid microphones are the best choice for audio/video conferencing as they reject a lot of background noise that condenser microphones pick up.

When switching to XLR, the microphone has relatively low sensitivity.
I found online posts mentioning a specific weakness in the microphone.
I had a bad connection with the mic and it kept going in and out.

The sound quality is great and it is often recommended for podcasting.
For beginners who want to record at home, this mic has good sound quality.
