JLab Epic Talk USB Microphone Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mic is top notch! The sound is so clear! It’s so easy to set up and use! It also can be used for so many different things! It’s made very sturdy and it looks nice as well! It exceeded my expectations!

This review requires a bit of back story so bear with me. I had purchased a Talk Pro on Nov. 30th of 2022. Now if anyone has not been following the issues the Talk Pro had, the USB C cable that was shipped with the product could not transfer enough data for the microphone to work properly. Which in turn meant that customers had to go out and buy a whole separate USB C cable just for the mic to work. This fix worked wonderfully however eventually the USB C port on the microphone died. Not only would it disconnect, but it kept messing with the audio control on my computer so I would be playing a game or watching a movie and suddenly the volume would go to max. If it were not for the fact that I could quickly throw my headphones off, I probably would have hearing damage. So I had to return it, but I didn't really want to deal with the same issues, so when I received a credit for the defective product I bought the Epic Talk in August of 2023. Lets talk about the Cons first: For starters I had to do the same thing as before and buy a separate USB C cable because the one they provide does not actually work with the microphone. I troubleshooted this with every USB port in my house and it was the same problem over and over again. Secondly, not even 5 months into owning the Epic Talk I can tell the USB C port is already dying because randomly it will just shut off and I have to unplug the USB C cable and plug it back in. This happens multiple times daily. This microphone is just seeming to be more hassle than it is worth. I wanted to take a shot in the dark with a company that is less known than other brands (don't want to break the review guidelines) in hopes that the cost was more tailored to quality than just brand name. However once again I have been proved wrong. Now lets talk about the pros: Excellent quality with great adjustability for a USB microphone, especially if you have a audio device or program you use for your recordings. Has a feature where you can hear yourself while using the mic. The only downside is you need a 3.5mm audio jack to plug directly into the microphone for it to work. Which defeats the purpose of it. Has a sleek and professional look with the options to change the addressable colors. Overall, I would maybe recommend this microphone if it was on sale and even then I am not sure. Unfortunately my overall experience with the two microphones I have owned from JLab has been lackluster at best. I will probably deal with the issues the Epic Talk has until it inevitably dies and figure out where to go after that.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mic is a great. The sound quality is crisp and it was easy to set up and record with. It is very high quality and feels a bit heavy as well. I would highly reccomend it to others looking for a new mic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Crisp sound. Picks up voices well. Makes the audible alot better than other brands. And it's affordable. No outrageous prices. Perfect for Christmas gift ! I highly recommend this product. You won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son wants to be YouTube famous so this was perfect for him to try out. He uses it to make videos while he does his gaming things. He was able to set it up all on his own (he’s 11), and it only took him a few minutes. I’ve watched a couple of his videos and the sound quality is terrific. He’s a happy boy and going to make lots of money now according to him!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The epic talk has been an awesome addition to my online gaming. It’s got great sound quality and captures my voice clearly! Very easy to setup and looks very cool. My kids love to come in and use it for their gaming as well. It’s a very high value microphone and totally worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a YouTuber filming voiceovers this works great! I was worried that the quality would not be good because in the past I have tried other microphones that lack the quality I want for my videos but this Epic microphone worked perfectly! It makes my videos sound professional and set up was very easy. I like that it comes with the stand and it would be perfect to start a pod cast with. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how simple this USB mic is to set up and use on my MacBook. There were no drivers or anything that needed to be installed, just plug and go. The mic itself feels high quality and durable. The base is made out of metal and the knobs are smooth and responsive. The USB cord is a nice fabric, but wish it was usb-c output so I don’t have to use a converter to connect to my 2019 MacBook Pro. There are different interface options, which I have set to rainbow. The sound is crisp and clear upon playback, when compared to recording through my MacBook. However, I am unable to get output on the mic and am having a hard time finding the full guide online to remedy this issue. Additionally, I wish it came with a storage case for when it’s not in use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mic has been a great addition to my computer set up. I use this mic for my zoom meetings, as well as my gaming. It was super easy to install and connect, and I haven’t had any connectivity issues since setting it up. It’s a great little gadget for the price, and I would definitely recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a truly epic microphone for podcasting and/or gaming. I recorded a few sessions and this mic is amazing. The setup i very easy not complicated at all. I would most definitely purchase more from this brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like recording my own thoughts like I am in a podcast and let me tell you, this is the perfect tool for it. The recording quality is insane and it feels like I am recording with super high-end equipment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had a microphone for my computer that has omnidirectional sound. Super easy-to-use plug and play. Podcaster. For streaming. Anything is perfect for this PC microphone. Also, it does very well portable, I highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this microphone, it has a great, clear sound, and it looks professional (which never hurts). However, getting this thing to connect was a nightmare. I spent 5 hours trying to get this thing connected to my sound system and I had to keep trouble shooting the connection. I read, and reread the instructions over and over again. I finally got it hooked up, but it was by some miracle and I have no idea what I did. Maybe others will have an easier time of it, but for me it was a giant headache.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a few issues with lagging at first but was able to work out the kinks. So far the sound quality and video capabilities have been stellar. The set up was fairly simple, apart from my previously mentioned issues but those very well could have been wifi or user errors rather than an issue with the product itself. Definitely worth the price for a quality cam/mic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This microphone has been nothing but amazing! Something that really wowed me was the sound quality it sounds amazing. I use this microphone for different things like recording videos or zoom calls. The quality is amazing for both! Also, I like how you are able to adjust the settings on the microphone with no problem. Overall this has to be a great quality microphone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great little gadget! The input and output are crystal clear. Great for gaming and streaming. I've had others and they did not work quite as well. It was easy to set up and connect to my computer. Settings and customization were easy to set up. Really enjoying my new set up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great tool for content creators! Very easy to assemble and connect, the material feels very solid and steady. Sleek look, has different settings, also mute with one push. Don’t forget to download the app, definitely helpful! Recommend for home studio!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Epic Talk usb microphone from JLab is an exceptional piece of audio recording equipment. I have found that it is well-suited to a range of applications, including virtual meetings, podcasting, and solo audio recording. Four directional patterns (cordioid, omni, stereo, and bidirectional) ensure that you can find the right setting for a wide variety of needs. It has an industry-standard USB plug for connection to your computer. The controls on the mic itself are convenient and effective, eliminating the need to search through digital menus in order to find what you need; you can mute, adjust volume/gain, and change patterns at the tap of a button or turn of a dial. In my experience, I found that the quality was crisp, clear, without interference or static. It makes a world of difference compared to my built-in microphone and last two desktop ones. A two-year factory direct warranty and 30 day satisfaction guarantee help provide me peace of mind in knowing that if something goes wrong, I can reach out to JLab and not have to negotiate through a third party.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mic is the best one i have ever used!! It was super easy to set up with my pc! I was able to set it up within 5 minutes my streams have never sounded better with this mic! Everyone's able to hear me crystal clear! The mute button works perfect and i love that it can go in 4 directional patterns ! Itis also not big and bulky and doesnt require a lot of room!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's so easy to use, I recommend it if you don't want anything complicated and the sound was so crisp. I wanna try it with a camera and see how it is but I'm pretty sure it will be as good as with my computer.
