The best microphone arm I've bought
āāāāāSturdy, Versatile, and Perfect for Any Setup!I recently upgraded my recording setup with the Aokeo AK-48 Microphone Arm, and it has been a game-changer. Right out of the box, the build quality impressed me. The arm is made of durable materials that feel robust and reliable. Setting it up was straightforward, and it securely clamps onto my desk without any wobble or movement.One of the standout features is its compatibility. I've tested it with multiple microphones, including the Shure SM7B, Blue Yeti, and HyperX QuadCast, and it holds each one firmly without any issues. The adjustable scissor arm allows for smooth and precise positioning, making it easy to find the perfect angle whether I'm recording vocals, streaming, or podcasting.The cable management is also a nice touch, keeping my workspace tidy and free from clutter. Despite its compact design, the arm offers a generous range of motion and extends to a comfortable height and distance.Overall, the Aokeo AK-48 offers exceptional value for money. It's a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their audio setup with a reliable and versatile microphone arm. Highly recommended!

Simple and good.
Feels cheap and light, yet it was very sturdy and easy to manoeuvre. Had it for past few months and no problems so far.

Worth its price.
Pretty decent mic arm. Requires a bit of adjustment to get it setup right. My Podmic is quite heavy so I had to tighten the tension points quite a bit to stop it from slowly drooping when in use. This makes it very stiff to position when I'm getting ready to record. Subsequently it also means there is a lot more pressure on the desk clamp, which i wished coverrd a bit more surface area. At present, i can hear my desk creak when i move the arm because its so stiff. I will likely upgrade this to a better arm later. However, for the money, I think it's good enough to get started with. If your mic isnt as heavy as the Rode Podmic, I believe your experience would be much better. This arn looks neat once it's setup and the provided velcro ties, make cable routing simple. Overall I think it's worth it's price.

Great Performance, Does Exactly What It's Meant To
The Aokeo AK-35 microphone boom arm has performed excellently and does exactly what itās meant to do. Itās sturdy, adjustable, and fits perfectly with my Blue Yeti and other compatible mics. Itās easy to set up and has a smooth range of motion for positioning the mic.The only thing Iād say could improve it is the addition of more connections or adapters, but thatās a minor point. Overall, itās a solid product that delivers great value for the price. Highly recommended!

Detailed review
Iāve been using the Aokeo AK-48 Microphone Arm for a little while now, and Iām honestly surprised by how sturdy and reliable it is, especially considering the price. At first glance, I wasnāt sure what to expect from a more affordable mic arm, but this one really exceeded my expectations.Sturdy BuildThe arm itself feels solidādefinitely not cheap or flimsy. It's made of metal, and even when I attach a heavier microphone to it, it holds up really well. No sagging or unwanted movement once itās in position, which is a big deal when you want to keep your mic steady during recordings or live streams.Smooth AdjustabilityAdjusting the arm is super easy, too. It rotates smoothly and can be positioned at almost any angle I need, whether Iām sitting down, standing, or just shifting around. It's compact enough to fit nicely on my desk without taking up too much space but still offers a good range of movement. Itās great for podcasting, streaming, or even video calls.Cable Management is a BonusOne of the small but really useful features is the built-in cable management clips. I love this because it keeps everything neatāno more dangling cables getting in the way! I can keep my workspace looking tidy, which isnāt something you always find in budget mic arms. This feature alone makes it feel like a step up from other cheaper options Iāve tried.

Buy cheap, get cheap - flimsy, will definitely break quickly, lack of positions
Really disappointing standard. Primarily the joints do not articulate in both directions fully, so you are limited with the positions you can use. Also completely inappropriate for heavier microphones such as Rode. Don't waste your time, spend the extra money to buy a poperly weighted and sprung metal arm - not plastic junk.

Good starting mic arm but lack of quality is frustrating.
The arm is a great starter for people who need an arm that is flexible but I cannot see this lasting for a long time. There are plenty of good things but the bad aspects can be a deal breaker.Good:Feels sturdy.Looks sleek and works nicely on the desk.Great levels of adjustability.Bad:Joints are tight/hard to move yet the arm can barely hold my microphone up at certain angles. If you have a weighty mic, be aware that the arm at forward angles will struggle to hold it up.Poor quality in some of the materials such as the adapters, the black coating starts to flake off in parts and the lack of good weight distribution is incredibly annoying.Might just be on my desk but the height extender made the arm far more flimsy feeling and more rickety. The extender gets held in by the screw but the arm itself is no longer held in as securely so if you tend to move the arm a lot, you'll notice the arm flopping around far more.Overall thoughts:It's a really nice arm to get you started. It will work nicely for people who don't move the arm a whole lot and have a mic that has less weight. The arm is cheap for it's capabilities and the feature set it great for the price.However, it struggles to get a lot of basics right that other mic arms in this price range will get right. That could be due to the extra features of this arm but it's a tradeoff to look out for.
