I'm not sure anyone was expecting NZXT to make a microphone - but what do you think of it, would you buy one?

Good mike for a first go. Nothing there v.2.00 shouldn't sort. I do notice that your mike isn't listed in the "equipment used" blurb. :-) This vid was followed by Dominic's Gigabyte Aorus FV43U review. His audio is very similar there to that of the NZXT here. Your audio is very noticeably better than both.

Damn, the Capsule seems like an amazing buy. Priced up a bit, but seems its worth it. The audio was amazing.

There are a lot of players in this space, and the competition is fierce. The built-in pop filter might not seem like a lot, but it's a big deal. For those who have done a lot of recording, voice "pops" can really ruin a recording. Generally, this seems like a solid product with the intent of selling to those who already have bought into NZXT's other products. By the way, if you get a boom arm, get a high quality one. I went through two of those flimsy arms with exposed springs before I purchased a proper arm, which would have saved me money in the long run by not having to purchase something three times. The one that I'm using now is made by Blue, which also makes microphones that compete in this market arena at a similar price point.

This is one of the better reviews of this mic. But I can't get over the compressed sound.

Soo....its a Yeti in white? The quick release is cool though. Love my silver and blue Yeti's. Good to see this NZXT having a go also

Does the microphone support zero latency monitoring as well as computer playback, and if so is there any way to adjust the mix between monitoring and pc sound?
