What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing describes this as an RGB microphone, but the supplied product details do not explain the lighting or its controls. A feature field also says one lithium-ion battery is required, which conflicts with the corded-electric power listing and USB-powered setup claim. Confirm these details if they affect your choice. iPad use requires an adapter, and the microphone is stated not to work with phones or Xbox. A 3/8-inch boom-arm thread requires an adapter, which is not listed as included.
