USB Condenser Microphone with Headphone Jack

A USB microphone is the shortest path between a computer and speech that sounds deliberate, because it does the job an audio interface and a cable loom would otherwise do. This one is a condenser capsule on a stand-mounted body with a headphone jack on it, which is the detail that matters: the jack lets you hear your own voice as the recording hears it, so you are not guessing at your level or your distance.

What you get

• One USB condenser microphone
• A headphone jack on the body for direct monitoring
• LED indication on the body
• Noise cancellation on the capsule side
• Plug-and-play over USB - no driver and no interface

What it is good at

Speech, close in. A condenser captures detail, and detail is what makes a voice sound present on a recording, but it also captures the room, so use it a handspan from your mouth, off to one side of the direct line, and put something soft behind you if the room is echoey. The headphone jack lets you catch a level that is too hot before you record twenty minutes into it, and the LED tells you at a glance that the microphone is live. Set the input in your recording software, not by shouting.

Shipping and duties

This item ships from our supplier partner's overseas stock, which means a longer wait than a domestically held item. The supplier does not publish a delivery window for it, so we are not going to invent one - expect several weeks rather than several days, and note that tracking is emailed once the parcel is dispatched. We ship to United States addresses only. Standard shipping is $8.00, orders of $125.00 or more ship free, and express delivery is $15.00. Because the parcel is dispatched from outside the United States, any customs duty or handling fee raised on arrival is the recipient's responsibility and is not part of the checkout price.

Good to know

• The listing does not state the polar pattern, the sample rate or the frequency response, so treat those as unconfirmed.
• If you need a microphone this week, this is the wrong listing - it ships from overseas stock.

Where this comes from

Tidilo does not hold this item in stock. It is supplied by a vetted third-party supplier partner and shipped to you directly from that partner's stock.

Orders ship from outside the United States. Dispatch takes 2–5 business days and delivery to US addresses typically takes a further 15–30 business days, with tracking. Since the US ended its de minimis exemption, customs may assess duties or handling fees when your order arrives; those charges are the recipient's responsibility and are not included in the price you pay here.

Standard shipping is $8.00, and it is free on orders of $125.00 or more. If you need something by a particular date, write to hello@tidilo.com before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it can arrive in time.

You can request a return within 30 days of delivery. The item must be unused, undamaged and in its original packaging with everything that was included. Email hello@tidilo.com before sending anything back.

Read the returns policy

• Delivery timing. Delivery typically takes 15–30 business days after dispatch, which is longer than a domestic order.
• One item, one parcel. Order several things and they may arrive separately, because each one is dispatched by the supplier that holds it.
• Plain packaging. It arrives in ordinary shipping packaging, without a marketing insert.
• Color and tone vary. Natural materials vary between batches, and screens vary too.
• A customs fee may apply on delivery. It is set by customs, not by us, and we cannot estimate it in advance.
