The version we received is white, but the microphone also comes in purple and black variations to suit your particular setup. With a built-in pop shield to cease your more plosive propensities, the YUNIX continues the sense of accessibility and sleek style by only utilising a couple of buttons on the mic itself, you can alter the RGB light-ring around the base, and mute yourself.
There is also a socket for a wired headphone jack – which will probably be needed as the microphone will pick up room sounds due to the cardioid design. It’s not a stiff setup, with the microphone able to be tilted back and forth a few degrees to angle towards your mouth when speaking, as the weight and rubber base grip ensuring that you won’t have to deal with unwanted sliding and movement when in use.
Also, whilst the YUNIX is targeted at gamers, I used it for podcast recordings as well as work meetings, and it coped just fine in all situations. It was a perfect match with the Trust TORIX keyboard, which has a snazzy volume / mute dial, so that I could breezily mute / unmute as I typed, so that the keyboard clacking wasn’t picked up on the recording.
SUMMARY
The sound recording quality is solid and I appreciate the ease of setup and use – but there are things that could have been improved, such as the connection cable being braided, just to reduce ugly kinks if you have a setup in which it’s difficult to hide cabling, but at the price point that the YUNIX is, it’s hard to knock what it offers, which is an easy, solid, and well-designed multi-use microphone, the base grip is robust and that RGB ring adds a subtle flash of character if you want things to pop a little in your home setup, a recommended purchase from us here at GF!
