Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone Streaming Set Review: Design
The Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone is available in two models: the Mic Only and the Streaming Set (with extension arm). The review device we have is the latter one, which includes a boom arm in the box. A USB microphone and the arm’s base, which is fixed to the desk, are also included. There is also an accessory box containing several cards and user instructions, as well as a 1.2m USB type C cable.
The USB microphone is neatly packaged in a cover that, given the price, appears to be of the highest quality. The only colour for the gadget is black, and it feels pretty solid in the hands because it is entirely constructed of metal, which undoubtedly adds weight but look great. The microphone may be readily adjusted without a separate support thanks to its tiltable construction. It has a cardioid condenser capsule mounted on a metal, cylindrical grille.
The Sennheiser logo and all the controls with various optimisation settings are located on the front of the device. Along with some LED status indicators and ring lights along with a MIC mute button. On the device’s back, there is a headphone connector, allowing you to easily connect a headset to it to listen to the audio being recorded. A type-C port is located right below it. It provides mounting thread options at the bottom (the profile boom stand accepts both â…œ-inch and 5/8-inch mounting).
The boom arm is of the highest quality; it is sturdy, long-lasting, and completely flexible. With the exception of a few spots here and there, it is totally composed of metal. It is simple to bend, twist, or adjust at several angles. It contains various channels and openings for managing cables, allowing you to set up and arrange the entire line so that everything is tidy and structured.
Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone Streaming Set Review: Performance
Let’s look at how to set up this device before starting with the performance side of things. Because this gadget is a plug-and-play USB type C microphone, the setup is quite simple. Simply plug in the type-C cable behind the microphone and attach the other end to the laptop, phone, or tablet of your choice. It is compatible with all platforms, as we’ve already indicated.
As said, the condenser capsule Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone has a cardioid pickup pattern. For those who don’t know, cardioid polar pickup patterns mic typically picks up sound primarily from the front and a little bit from the left and right. On the rear, it seems to have the most rejection. Consequently, this is how the Sennheiser Profile USB Microphone operates.
Now that we know it can be used for streaming and games, this microphone can also be used to record podcasts and record your voice if you’re a singer.
We think that this microphone’s audio quality is fairly good for the price. A good number of details are present. The voice quality is excellent, with a detailed treble and a respectable bass.
If you’re a bass enthusiast and want a little bit deeper bass in your audio, just get closer to the microphone so that you can have that improved bass output to your voice.
You may carry this microphone with you anywhere you go while travelling and obtain studio-quality audio output because it is plug-and-play and globally compatible with Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows PC.

Your Chromebook, Windows laptop, Android phone, and even MacBook are all compatible with it. The device was producing excellent studio-quality results at home without any issues at this price point. And the greatest part is that it is incredibly easy to use. Just connect the USB type-C cord from the microphone to your device, and you’re ready to go with professional-level audio wherever you are.
