The standard beginner ASMR mic. Low self-noise, plug-and-play.
Self-noise of around 20 dBA A-weighted — meaningfully quieter than budget condensers and low enough for whisper recording. The cardioid polar pattern is tight at the rear, which helps reject room noise and computer fan hum. Built-in headphone monitoring (zero latency) is genuinely useful for checking mic placement during a session. A solid foundation that won't embarrass you next to creators with XLR rigs.

4 polar patterns — stereo mode works for ear-to-ear triggers.
4.5 dBA self-noise — near silent. Whisper workhorse.
Binaural ear mic. THE sound of ear-attention ASMR.
