The verdict

The JLab Talk series consists of three microphones, and the JLab Talk PRO is the flagship product. Though $150 USD isn't cheap, it's more affordable than many alternatives, and the Talk PRO has notable features such as four selectable polar patterns. Its ease of use is nothing to look past, and it's mostly thanks to the comprehensive onboard controls and plug-and-play software. This is a mic worth considering.
