If you've ever tried to build a small PC rig, you're probably used to paying more for less when it comes to gaming tech. However, the is not only adorably cute but one of the best budget mics out there, and even better with [[link]] a tidy [[link]] discount on it.
Almost five years after its initial inclusion, the Razer Seiren Mini is still the best budget option in our roundup of the , and this is a testament not only to its sound quality but also its great price point. At its full price of $50, it's still an excellent choice.
In my time with it so far, I've been not only impressed by its sound quality but also how easy it is to get set up and ready to go. This one doesn't work with Synapse, Razer's software, which is honestly fine as it's great out of the box. It does, however, use a micro USB, which can be a bit of a pain as I can't easily unplug my mic and plug in my keyboard with the same cable for a quick charge. Generally speaking, though, this mic is so light and cute that you will likely have it constantly plugged in and ready to go.
If you want to hear the microphone's recording quality, we have a handy little Soundcloud link below showing it off.
The Seiren Mini can be unscrewed from its flat base to hook into mic arms to hover over your desk, but the included base also has plenty of wiggle room in case you want to angle it for any reason.
Available at its lowest ever price, the only major considerations I'd make before buying a mic like this are:
- Do you plan on buying a more expensive mic in the future?
- Will the proprietary micro USB cable annoy you?
- Will you regret picking the black model over the pink one?
If the answer to all of the above is no, I couldn't recommend the Razer Seiren Mini enough.
