Audio-Technica ATR2500x-USB Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

The Audio-Technica ATR2500 USB+ has been a very disappointing purchase for me. The sound quality is not up to the mark, especially for singing. It doesn’t capture vocals the way I expected, and the output feels flat and underwhelming. One major drawback is the lack of a proper gain control knob on the mic itself. If gain control had been provided, it would have made a huge difference in usability and sound adjustment. Because of this limitation, it becomes very frustrating to use. For me, this product did not work for singing or podcasting properly. Unfortunately, it feels like a zero-value purchase in my experience.

good for podacasts

Ita very noisy even basic mic could play better that this. And also doesn't have good connectivity with type c , not adaptable on Android or iPad Stand is very cheap quality just build quality is good for mic alone

Worst product, missing parts

As a usb mic it is fine but three stars only because when a new mic with usb c connection is released by a company like Audio Technica , one would expect it to work with usb c connection of iPad Pro as well. But unfortunately it just doesn’t work. Too much distortion and practically useless if you are thinking of buying for iPad Pro or now for iPad Air with usb c. I had to return this mic as I had bought solely for iPad Pro. But when I used it on PC, it worked and the sound quality was also good. Just that usb c connection is not optimised properly.
