comment
" ...  The USB connector on this microphone is not up to standard, and it will fail eventually. ... The included USB cable started disconnecting after a few months and by the time I had been using it for a year, the microphone disconnected from the computer constantly. ... Bottom line, and I'm not the only person who is complaining, the USB connection isn't solid.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Basically, the older release of this microphone can be identified by the fact that the words "USB" do not appear under the USB port, and this is not compatible with newer macs that have USB 3.0 ports running El Capitan. ... with the words "USB" written under the port. ... However, the microphone I was sent back STILL did not have the words "USB" written under the port and STILL does not work with the macbook (while it was sent in a new box, I cannot definitively tell whether it was the same microphone).  ...  "
