Professional Razer Seiren X Boom Arm with Pop Filter

Pros: -Works about the same as every other generic boom arm at its price point, they all do the same thing.
-The screw meant for mounting it to a desk has a rubber pad to help prevent slipping and works great.
-Adapter works as intended, even though I don’t use the microphone this product is branded for. This is as expected, being that simply because its branded for it doesn’t mean nothing else works. Cons: -It’s a bit stiff; but I feel like this will get better with use.
-It doesn’t come with velcro cable ties, I used small zipties that do the job fine. Not my biggest gripe but a nice addition for a few pieces of hollow square tubing and some screw for $30. You don’t even have to use them, you can hang the wire away from it; being able to attach the wire to the boom arm just helps with tidyness and looks.
-For anyone that actually cares, it doesn’t come with the hand held microphone holder they show in the listing. It comes in a long, rectangle box that basically says “Microphone boom arm” in big black letters over a blueish background on a black box. Of course, with “Made in China” plastered on the front too. Overall Review: It does what you’d expect it to do. It’s really no better or no worse than any other boom arm I’ve seen listed. Being this is my first purchase of a boom arm for a microphone, I would’ve gone with something else. I saw this exact same product for $17 from a different brand that came with more stuff and even came with cables ties branded to their company. I think this is just an unnecessary price jump to try to squeeze a few extra bucks out of you by saying that it’s for a certain microphone, which again, I don’t even own. No clue how good they are, but for the same $30 they have boom arms with no visible springs that looks generally cleaner than the standard boom arm design you see everywhere. And of course, for a whole $30, some of them come with cable ties or other accessories unlike this one, where I got an adapter and a foam pad that I didn’t need because my microphone has one built in. Edited: I’ve owned this boom arm for a month and I own heavy machinery that creaks less than this thing with no grease. If I move the boom arm slow enough, you hear nothing but just creaking and friction between the arms. I’m about to get some WD-40 just to lube it because I’m so tired of hearing it. Every part of the arm that articulates creaks. I dislike having to mute my mic in order to move it so that the person on the other end doesn’t hear the atrocious noises this thing makes. I’m giving it 3 stars instead of the original 4 for this.
