About this item
JLab Epic Talk USB Microphone in White is a professional-grade USB condenser microphone built for streaming, podcasting, recording, gaming, and remote work. Three 16mm condenser capsules enable four selectable directional patterns, 192kHz/24-bit resolution, and physical controls for gain, mute, and headphone monitoring - all in a plug-and-play USB package. Three 16mm condenser capsules work together to produce four selectable directional patterns via a dial on the microphone body. Cardioid captures sound directly in front of the mic - the standard choice for solo streaming, podcasting, and voiceover. Omnidirectional captures sound from all directions, suited for group conversations or room ambience. Bi-directional captures from the front and rear simultaneously, useful for two-person interviews. Stereo combines both left and right capsules for a wider, spatial recording suited for instruments and music. 192kHz sample rate and 24-bit bit depth deliver professional resolution well above the standard 44.1kHz/16-bit of consumer audio equipment, capturing finer detail and a wider dynamic range for post-production flexibility. Maximum SPL of 120dB means the mic handles loud sources without distorting. Microphone sensitivity sits at -37dB ±3dB with a frequency response of 50Hz to 20kHz. Physical gain control lets you set input level directly on the mic without opening software.

Customer reviews

Superior sound for gaming
Upgraded to this JLab mic from my old headset mic, and the difference in game chat is incredible. My teammates can hear me clearly without any background noise, especially when using the cardioid pattern. The headphone jack for monitoring is a huge plus, allowing me to hear exactly what I sound like. It’s a very robust piece of equipment and looks good on my desk in white.
★☆☆☆☆
Not compatible with my setup
Bought this for my audio interface, but it's purely USB, which wasn't clear enough from the initial product description. I was looking for something with an XLR option or at least a standard USB-C for broader compatibility, not the specific USB type it uses. It requires direct USB connection to a computer, which doesn't fit my professional recording rig. While the sound quality seemed decent during a quick test on my laptop, the lack of versatile connectivity makes it useless for my intended purpose, making it a very expensive paperweight.
★★★★★
Solid recording quality
The 192kHz/24-bit resolution really delivers on detail for my guitar recordings. It picks up nuances I wasn't getting with my previous setup. Very impressed with the build quality too.
★★★★★
Plug and play convenience
Needed a good microphone for streaming without a complicated setup. This one was perfect; just plugged it in and it worked. The sound is much fuller than my previous mic, and the gain control is handy.
