Great value and amazing sound quality for beginners!
I looked around a bit before I made this purchase and I feel like it was still a very good buy. The only drawback that I feel is worth noting is that if it is plugged into a laptop, a phone or whatever you are recording audio on you will not be able to hear through the mic any speaker audio and you will have to plug in headphones in order to hear. Other than that, this is a beautiful sturdy mic with great sound quality. I feel like a podcaster.

Good budget option for gaming mic/ streamers and podcasts.
This TONOR gaming mic/podcast mic kit is definitely on the budget side of things. With the very attractive price tag, you get everything you need to get up and running in your use cases that you might need a microphone for. While I wouldn't say this is anything on the professional line in terms of build quality, I would say that it does hold a lot of value. It comes with a mic boom arm that firmly keeps the mic in place and is surprisingly easy to manipulate and get in place where you need it.
It has a table edge clap that does well in holding the boom arm to the desk. Very easy to adjust everything.
There are some attractive features like "AI" noise cancellation that does well, and this model has a frivolous RBG light. The housing on the mic is plastic, and the handling noise isn't bad, but not the best... and not the worst I've seen.
Comes with a length USB cable which makes things easy for plug and play, or alternatively you can use the XLR ports for your mixers/audio interfaces that you might have. Also there is a headphone jack port on the back for your "quiet time" monitoring.
Overall this kit would make an excellent gift for anyone on a tight budget, but needing that gaming sound. Again, it's not the best mic out there on the market, as some of the pro stuff can get very expensive with everything you need to get up and running, but this by all means, if you are a gamer and on a budget, this is an excellent option.
The boom arm isn't the best quality and you will see why, especially if you have had experience with some premium products on the market, but hey, this is a budget option that does deliver.

Clear, crisp microphone with easy setup and solid boom arm.
This microphone is a great setup for the price and works really well right out of the box. The audio quality is clear and crisp, making it a solid choice for gaming, streaming, or general voice use. It picks up your voice well without needing a lot of tweaking.
The included boom arm is sturdy and holds the mic in place without sagging. It’s easy to position exactly where you want it, and the overall setup process is simple whether you’re using USB or XLR. The controls on the mic are also convenient and easy to use.
Overall this is a great value if you’re looking for a reliable mic setup without spending a ton. It delivers good sound quality, is easy to set up, and looks clean on the desk. Definitely a solid option for beginners and casual users.

Lovely microphone!
The TONOR TD510 is a fantastic dynamic microphone that looks as good as it sounds. Whether you’re a beginner or a more experienced streamer, the build quality is impressive for the price. It feels solid and professional, but also isn't super heavy. The included boom arm is surprisingly sturdy and easy to set up, making the whole kit a great value right out of the box.
The dual USB and XLR connection is one of its best features and shows the mic's versatility.. . You can simply plug it into your computer via USB for an easy setup, or use an XLR cable with an audio interface if you want more control over your sound. The sound quality is clear and warm, though you might need to play with the placement a bit to avoid some "popping" sounds when speaking closely.
The built-in RGB lighting adds a cool, modern look to any gaming setup, and the on mic controls like the volume and tap to mute button are convenient. While the noise cancellation is a nice help for blocking out background sounds, it works best in a relatively quiet room. Overall, this is a durable, high-quality microphone that offers a lot of features for the money and is a huge upgrade for anyone looking to improve their audio.

Absolutely awesome!
This microphone is awesome. It was a very nice surprise. At a price point of 44 dollars, I was not sure what to expect. But this mic has exceeded my expectations.
It sounds very good and the build quality is great. It connects to your computer very easily and works easily.
The arm is good quality and easy to set up. I love the adjustability of it so I can move it closer to my mouth of need be. This is a great mic for a gamer or podcaster.
The RGB adds a great touch, and looks cool. Iy has many different settings to play with.
If you're looking for a good quality mic at a great price. This is for you!

Not for an X Box
We picked this up for my son to use with his X Box, but come to find out this does not function well with the X Box. We could get it to power up but no voice/sound overs were coming through. So, it is not compatible with the X Box. The mic is made with good quality material and comes with everything you need to hook up to a PC, but that does not help us at all.

Another hit from Tonor in the TD510 series!
Buckle up… because I’m very familiar with this series I own three in it so far. That’s how much I love the sound you get from this series of mics and then they packed these last two AIRs with amazing features. Great build and hands down one of the best values for the money. PERIOD!
I have owned the original Tonor TD510 for a while now. It’s one of my favorite mics and makes an appearance in many of my videos. It has a great warmth to it. This mic took after it in that way. With Tonor every single mic always sounds good straight out of the box. But you can make some really amazing audio magic happen with a little EQ. This mic gives you so many things you could want in a mic and it also looks great on camera. In real life too lol but I like how it films.
It’s a bit lighter than the original Tonor TD510. I do like some heaviness to a mic, but that’s really the only downside and it’s not even really a downside. I struggle to come up with cons on this series from Tonor.
In my experience testing it the audio had zero lag in USB or XLR mode. Both modes hold amazing benefits. With the USB mode you get the RGB lights and all the great features that are right there on the mic like tap to mute, controllable RGB lighting, onboard microphone volume control, headphone volume control, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for real time monitoring. In XLR mode you can hook it up to software or an external mixer or audio interface and go with some EQ and make it sound like a dream.
Everyone has different tastes in mic sounds. If you like a deeper darker warmer more velvety sound then of course we look to the Shure SM7B, a classic staple through and through but with a hefty price tag. If you like a really broadcast style sound the RODE PodMic is definitely your choice for that. But when I bought my first Tonor TD510 series I couldn’t help but feel and hear that more Shure style mic sound, which is my favorite mic sound. I love the warmth. These lend to that very same sound especially with some EQ.
I guess if I had to pick a real con it would be that it has just a tad bit of an issue with plosives and sibilance. But you can cure most of that easily with mic placement. Just having it a little off axis to either side of your mouth allows the air to pass by the mic capsule instead of straight into it. This is an issue I had with the original Tonor TD510 but it was such a small issue that it’s on a boom arm on my desk right now.
I have four boom arms connected to my desk and I only pull one into the shot depending on what sound I’m wanting to try and get that day. Seems chaotic I know but it just works for me.

Awesome sound quality - social media must-have.
I tried this and the very similar "studio Mic" version (LED ring seems to be the only difference) both via USB to a tablet and using a balanced mic connection to a sound board.
***Excellent*** both ways. Tonar makes really good products at good prices.
The arm is good, the thumb screw tension joints seem to work well in a new condition - but the hold on the single Mic screw is a bit weak. The spring balance and the desktop clamp seem quite good, even against the force of a heavy cable attached for the sound board.
Watch the video with sound on, and form your own opinion.
Fair price for a terrific product, IMO

Excellent Microphone for Streaming and Gaming
The TONOR Dynamic Gaming Microphone is a fantastic option for anyone who streams, games, or records content. One of the best features is the dual XLR and USB connectivity, which makes it very versatile. You can plug it directly into a computer with USB or use XLR with an audio interface for a more professional setup.
The AI noise cancellation works really well and helps reduce background sounds, making your voice come through clear and focused. This is great for streaming, podcasts, or voice chats while gaming. The controls are easy to use and allow quick adjustments without interrupting your recording or stream.
Overall, this microphone delivers clear sound quality, useful features, and flexible connectivity, making it a great choice for beginners and experienced streamers alike.

Tonor Microphone Great for my Podcast
I own 2 Tonor XLR/USB Microphones for over 6 months and I have to say they are pretty good. The sound is good, they work very well with my Vocaster Two Interface. I use it for my Podcast and I haven't had a problem yet. I covered the brand name with my Logo because I don't show company names unless I'm sponsored or supported by them but the Tonor Microphone is a good product and I recommend it.

I just got this Tonor mic to practice some singing at home. Mic looks nice, very solid, multiple connectivity. I am very excited to try it. But I need an stand adapter. This review will be updated after tested completely.

USB Mic with Stand
The Mic is beautiful in the dark with the rainbow ring in the back where the plugs are. The microphone and base is really good quality and it hooked up to the back of my surface pro 2 USB with no problems. It sounds great with minimal background noise, even being near a main road. The back has ports for headphones, an XLR connection, c-port to Usb, a convenient mute button, volume buttons, and a light switch for the ring. The base is very heavy so it’s hard to tip over and it holds up the mic very well. 5/5

Top Tier Results & Max Value
The setup is next to none on how easy it is. High quality cords to use USB C or XLR are provided. Packaging is snug and premium. The sensitivity is able to be dialed and tuned to what works best for your setup. The build of the mic itself is very premium and does not look cheap. I stream daily with friends and this has had so many compliments and 6 of my friends have all purchased this mic. Use this if you want a great product that rivals the name brands out there and still gets the job done well above what’s expected at that price point.

Mic is not working but it turns on fine
I just bought the mic I was waiting all day at work. After a long day at work I come home and get the microphone. Once I hooked everything up I was so ready to use the microphone as my old mic is going bad. Once I get everything connected and set the right way I want it I went to my audio settings in my pc and switched the audio to the new mic. When I switched the microphone I went to the sound settings to see how it sounds and it didn’t work. So I tired XLR and that didn’t work I went back to USB-C and no luck. I even downloaded an app to try to connect it and nothing. Honestly at this point after all the wait and hype it’s not worth the purchase. I hear great reviews and everything but I guess for the price u get what you pay for and I got a literal medal brick. For the manufacture I would love and explanation on what’s wrong cause this is un acceptable

Great mic, plug-and-play easy to set up
This is a good quality mic. It worked right out of the box with NO setup needed (just plugged it into my Dell laptop and it was good to go.)
The quality of the sound is good. I'm not a sound engineer or an audio mixer or anything, just a consumer, but for what it's worth this is my opinion: great mic for podcasts or general recording, gaming, streaming, etc. It lacks a little tonality and dynamic pickup for pro singing or similar, but it's not marketed as a high-level singing mic, so that's fine. It like that it has a monitoring port (you can plug headphones in and hear yourself VIA the mic - which can be important.)
You can set it up with either USB connection, or with the XLR style connectors that are used in the audio and recording industry.
The "sweet spot" to get the best tonality and volume pickup is about 3" from the foam wind screen. Closer than that and it may distort if you talk loudly, farther than that and it gets a bit muffled and doesn't pick up your voice volume changes so well. You will still be audible and intelligible in either case, it's just that the sound quality may suffer to a greater or lesser degree if you move out of the sweet spot.
Overall it is a good mic that is solidly built and functions well!

A solid kit for those getting started with audio recordings with a microphone
There were no items in the package that were missing or damaged. A solid kit for those getting started with audio recordings with a microphone. My setup I tested with has a Sound BlasterX AE-5, Golden Age Project PRE-73 DLX, a Shure SM7B, and a Cloudlifter CL-1. I recorded using my SM7B, and then swapping out the Tonor TD520S+ (see video). I talked about 6 inches away from the microphone, reduced the noise, and then also had to reduce the dB level by 5.2dB for the video. I also recorded using just the Tonor TD520S+ with a USB conection. Windows 10 automatically installed the drivers, and I set the Sample Rate and Bit Depth to 24-bit, 96000Hz at a 100% level. I talked about 6 inches away again, but the audio was faint. I then talked about an inch away, and the results were better. The connection via USB didn't need noise reduction, but could use some extra gain.
The Tonor TD520S+ isn't going to beat higher-end microphones in sound quality, but it does offer versatility, and does do a pretty good job if you want to use it via the USB without having to mess with post production. With an XLR connection, there's a bit of post production that's going to be involved, but I think it can be a decent microphone with proper adjustment.
I didn't use the arm that was provided, but it looks well made, and similar to what I already use. The one thing I wish it had was a second stabilizer to keep the mic from tilting or shaking.

Great sounding mic. Good deal. Works with Linux.
I was pleasantly surprised with how sturdy this mic feels. All metal construction and heavy.
The sound is pretty good. Has the option to connect it using the USB-C port or with an XLR cable - both included in the kit.
The mic has built-in controls for volume and a mute button as well. It also features a color light which allows you to set different colors at different levels.
Very happy with this kit. A great option for streamers, gamers, and podcasters.

Premium Microphone With Boom Arm
I got the Tonor XLR/USB Gaming Microphone Kit to use while mixing on my DJ controller and while taking meetings on my Windows laptop.
Packaging
The contents are:
-The Microphone (TD520S+)
-Boom Arm
-Table Mount
-XLR Cable
-USB-A to USB-C Cable (2 Meters)
-USB-A to USB-C Adapter
-4x Velcro Straps
-Manual
Product
The microphone has a cardioid intake and runs at the following specs:
-Input Sample Rate: 96kHZ
-Bit Rate: 24 Bit
-Frequency Response: 50Hz-14kHz
-Sensitivity: -54 dB +- 1.5 dB
-Output Impedance: 600 Ohms
The boom arm is low profile and extends out then up. This was nice as it allows for it to be mounted on the opposite end of the desk.
Application:
Install the mount on the desired surface and place the boom arm in it while securing it. Screw the microphone onto the 5/8 port on the boom arm and connect the USB cable to the laptop or XLR cable to mixer. For the laptop installation, wait for the drivers to install. After it installs, select it as the recording device in the Audio manager.
Final Thoughts
After recording my voice in the sound recorder app on my laptop, I felt the playback was high quality. No popping was heard with the foam pop filter and the bass in my voice was captured nicely. The RGB lighting gave the mic a nice aesthetic while the design looked professional. The installation was quick and easy and the mount had an adequate surface to grab on. I do wish it came with an XLR to mic jack cable but that is just a nice to have. I found this microphone provided a premium experience and recommend it for others.
