Arch Linux Bluetooth Microphone

I was a little skeptical about moving from XLR to a USB microphone. Works amazingly well with Arch Linux and no issues so far. Very happy and highly recommended.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

I use these on my android phone wirelessly (bluetooth) and with my linux computer wired directly through the motherboard line out for pc games, youtube, music, and disneyplus. I also use them wired into a surface go reformatted with ubuntu 22.04. Got them to work with bluetooth with the linux desktop computer but I don't actually have the SMA antennae attached to it so it is not really a fair test. (it is laggy, but it did connect and produce sound) They work great anywhere they are wired and wirelessly on android with wired connections sounding better. I don't really use windows often so can't comment on that at this time. I'm not an audiophile, but the audio sounds crisp with nice bass when watching movies with special effects. Music also sounds crisp and precise. They do fit fairly snugly but feel comfortable on the ears and are well made. I previously owned a pair of klipsch reference but these seem slightly better built. I consider them an upgrade in build and sound quality.

I've been using the Kensington trackball for a couple of weeks. It worked out of the box on my Linux machine and it's been responsive and reliable. The ball doesn't seem to clog quickly, and the button on the bottom to push it out for cleaning is a great idea. It works on Bluetooth as well as with their wifi dongle, which caused me some trouble when I switched it to Bluetooth mode by mistake, but when I finally read the instructions I quickly changed it back. It has buttons all over the place. I don't know how to program them under Linux nor would I want to, but fortunately they seem to do nothing if unprogrammed, as it's hard to use the trackball without clicking them now and then. This hasn't interfered with my use of the trackball, though. It feels much like the old Logitech Marble Trackball with a handmade tilted stand that I've used for years.

For starters, this microphone cost me 30$. It simply worked when I plugged it in (I use Linux, so this is not always the case). The sound quality is excellent. Far beyond what the price implies. I've owned $200 microphones that didn't sound this good. Another interesting point, I plugged it into my Android 10 phone, and it worked! So recording voice-over on the road just got super easy. The microphone is huge. The base is big and the casing looks like a 1950s plastic space toy. Not an issue for me (I'm kind of a weirdy, so I like it) but might look strange In a more serious corporate setting. Thank you Neat microphones and thank you B H!

Works as described both on Windows and Linux.

I bought this as a replacement for an expensive bluetooth mic, and I was surprised by the high quality of this microphone.

I'll be using it to hang a GoPro 4 Black above the wedding arch for...well, my wedding. It's flexible and feels like good construction. Definitely happy about how affordable it is.

This is my second T/S lens. Other was damaged. I use lens regularly for arch shots. High quality, very sharp.

I always wanted a small portable PA system, with battery and enough power. Finally, I found it, plus extras that I did not care before, such as a wireless system and Bluetooth. The specific usage is for Christmas Caroling, to play the music tracks for the choir of about 20 people. Expedition XP106 met and exceeded my expectations. It has plenty power (100 watts), a clear and well balance output, and two features that make caroling a breeze. The music tracts can be in my iPhone, which can be sent them to the unit via Bluetooth with no wiring in between, plus, this units comes with a wireless microphone with a small receptor which it is connected to the back of the unit, via USB. The sound of the microphone is very natural and can be played (as we tested, from around 20 feet. The charge, according to the manufacturer can last up to 20 hours, all in a compact unit that is easy to carry and set. Nothing is perfect, thou. I would love to have at least a three points equalizer. I don't think there is a similar unit that matches its specs, including brand name recognition. Great unit. Love it.
