    Works great.. clear, crisp sound
    It's big! About softball size. That was the only surprise was just how big it is.. I still have occasional zoom meetings and my computer mic is crap. At the start of the pandemic, I bought a little flat mic that worked ok until it finally started constantly buzzing. I researched until I found this. It was fairly reasonably priced, works great for zoom, and is a more well known company. It's super well built, doesn't feel cheap AT ALL. Has a nice stand. My friends say no buzzing, no echo, no muffly voice.
