Great value + works with Linux and iPad w/adapter
CAD U29 USB Side-Address Studio Microphone
Reviewed by Robert on B&H Photo Video
I needed a mic that I could share with several devices for several uses. Most of all, I wanted to be able to use an external mic to be 1. more directional than the built-in one on a notebook or tablet, and 2. not subject to the thunderous sounds of keys clicking and touchscreen taps and the roar of handling the device. I considered a headset, but I also wanted to be able to use the mic to record an instrument. Plus we already had headphones we liked. This fits the bill. It seems to be USB class compliant, so in addition to Windows and Mac listed in the description, it works with Linux and iPads as well. (For the lightning port iPads we have, the apple lightning to USB camera adapter works, despite its name.) Sound quality is fine for the price, capturing speech + amateur singing and instrument performance. With the included accessories, it's a great value. ... More
Despite its cheap price, it met all my expectations

Its claimed frequency response of 20-20 kHz and its $30 price tag was too good to pass up. I don't have the test equipment to prove its frequency response, but it has certainly upped the quality of my audio on Zoom. Everyone noticed it immediately. True, I miss having headphone and the gain adjustment features, but this critter will be making rounds to friends and neighbors who might be more confused with the aforementioned options.--BM

CAD is one of my favorite companies. When the quality control is there, they make great sounding mics - period. And they sell them for extremely attractive prices. The u29 is a winner. Incredibly good sounding mic for a measly 30 USD. Not wild about the mic mount or tripod stand that ships with it, but who can complain for 30 bucks!
Great Mic for the price

I'm using this Mic for guitar and voice recording directly into computer so the USB interface is perfect for that. The supplied holder is compatible with standard microphone stand which is nice. Only complaint is that I wish it came with a slightly longer USB cable, but that is easily remedied. All in all a great deal!
Easy to use; great value for the money

I was skeptical of getting a mic for my computer, but this one is a great option. It's easy to use and synced perfectly with my PC for online calls (zoom, facebook, webex). It's easy to record with, too. I'd buy it again.

With a pair it is a bargain to record stereo sound and work well with Windows, except one needs to manually turn up its recording level (Control Panel Hardware and Sound Sound Recording).
