Unboxing and First Impressions
The Comica Ejoy Uni Pro arrived in a well-packaged box. Inside, I found the microphone unit, a USB-C cable (with a USB-A adapter), a desk stand, a manual, quick start guide, and warranty information. The included cable is quite long, a nice touch for flexibility in setup.
The desk stand itself feels surprisingly high-quality. It's weighted, has rubberized feet, and a secure screw connector. The microphone itself is lightweight, but doesn't feel cheap. It's a nice blend of metal and plastic.
The top of the microphone features a touch-sensitive mute button, a convenient design. It's already mounted on a shock mount, mitigating vibrations from the desk. A pop filter is pre-installed, a helpful addition.
Connectivity and Features
The microphone offers both wired and wireless connectivity. The wireless transmitter is compact and easily connects to your PC via USB. A 3.5mm headphone jack allows for direct monitoring, which is a useful feature for precise audio control.
The microphone also boasts RGB lighting, controlled by a button on the front. It also features a weighted gain knob, providing tactile feedback for adjustments. The RGB reacts dynamically to the audio level, adding a visual element.
Other features include a wireless on/off switch with a light indicator, and the gain indicators provide clear visual feedback of the microphone's input level. It includes a headphone monitor port which is especially helpful if you use it as a sound card.
Sound Quality and Performance
During testing, I found that the microphone performs best when positioned relatively close (6-8 inches) to the mouth. While the desk stand is included, a boom arm is recommended for optimal placement and sound quality. The sound profile is crisp and clean.
When further away, the audio quality noticeably declines. Low-end frequencies are lost, and room acoustics become more prominent. Background noise is not heavily filtered. It does a decent job but not exceptional.
The microphone's response to louder sounds is indicated by the RGB lighting changing to red. Softer sounds result in yellow or green, while no sound results in blue. This visual feedback is a unique feature.
Overall Impression and Conclusion
The Comica Ejoy Uni Pro delivers excellent sound quality at an incredibly affordable price point. Despite being lightweight, its build quality is impressive and the features such as direct monitoring and the touch-sensitive mute button are very handy.
While the RGB lighting might be distracting for some (like me!), it could be a cool feature for streamers. It works well even in low-light conditions.
Overall, this microphone is a great value and highly recommended. Its crisp, clean sound and ease of use makes it a fantastic option for streamers and content creators on a budget. I recommend using it with a boom arm for best results.
