Wonder if they would make an adjustment if you asked nicely?

I bought one at 24.99 on the 4th of August. It works great, but I’m annoyed to see it at 5$less so quickly.

Same here. And yeah, it is getting rave reviews from everyone on the other end of my calls.

You can’t ask us to have the lowest price in the marketplace and then get upset when we lower a price.

Oy, in the same vein you can’t expect us not to feel burned after buying the same product for a higher price less than a week ago from the same source : p

Simple solution: Raise the price back to $24.99!

wanna hear about the headphones that I bought from Amazon that went on sale the next day for $150 less and they wouldn’t do anything?

No but it’s ironic how this time we can say this is woot, not Amazon : p

But really just because they do it doesn’t mean it should be super acceptable. It is what it is just came here to mention it, not hear you got burned by your parent company so deal with it here X.X

We try to hold prices for 14 days when we can.

During one Prime Day period, or maybe Black Friday/Cyber Monday, a few years ago, I bought a DeWalt oscillating tool on Amazon. The next day, it either went down in price or had some accessories bundled. I contacted them about it and they couldn’t do anything.

So what did I do? I bought the cheaper/better one and returned the other one when it arrived without even opening it.

As long returns are free, try that.

Was using mine for less than a month and it started malfunctioning. Tested on two different computers with two different Windows OSs to make sure it wasn’t just my computer. Tis a shame cause the sound quality was so good (especially for such a great price!)! I am trying to get a return/exchange, I hope I just got a lemon :lemon:

Hey, super cool to see this here! I’ve owned a few Neat microphones and have always been impressed! I have gifted a few on, and still have my King Bee in the mic locker. What a price, I’m excited to hear how this sounds :slight_smile:

I use one of these daily to WFH doing video calls and presentations. Excellent sound quality and a ton of features. It does pick up a lot of the room but Teams takes care of a lot of that noise versus what I hear if I monitor with headphones. Thinking about picking up another at this price.

Would you prefer people return the higher-priced version and Woot eat shipping cost, restocking, and other shrinkage?

Anyone having issues with the mic - make sure you are providing adequate power to it and that you aren’t stretching your USB ports too thin.

Let it have its own dedicated USB port, or at the very least do not plug it into a USB Hub that shares many other devices, especially a web cam.

USB hubs just spread the data speed of the one single USB port it is plugged into (unless it is fancy n has an exterior power source) this often leads to power and device issues because of inadequate resources from the USB port. This issue is even worse on older computers, such as USB 2.0 ports, they have less bandwidth available to them, a massive difference from USB 3.0, and the hub won’t convert your ports to USB 3, it’s just going to get as much power as a USB 2.0 can deliver to it and spread across 4 other USB ports.

I suggest using the USB hubs for things like mouse, keyboard, and let larger USB devices have a dedicated USB port.

I said power here a bunch but meant data bandwidth. Your USB hub plugged into a USB 2.0 port is only going to push 480 Mbps data, not enough for multiple devices (webcam, mic, etc) on a single hub
