Is this mic good for video conferences and online classes?

Yes. It is built for speech over USB on a PC or laptop, and the omnidirectional capsule picks up a person talking at a desk without aiming the mic.

Does it need drivers or software?

No. It is plug-and-play on Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10 and on Mac OS X, so the system recognizes it as a USB audio device.

Will it pick up background noise?

It can. An omnidirectional pattern hears sound from all directions, so fans, keyboards and other voices in the room come through too. Use it in a quiet space.

Can I use it for singing or recording an instrument?

It is aimed at voice chat and speech recording. For close-up vocals or instruments, a directional mic with gain control is a better fit.

The microphone with its attached 170 cm USB 2.0 cable. It connects directly to a USB port, so no separate cable or adapter is needed.

Our take on the M Buder USB Omni-directional Condenser Microphone

The M Buder is a small wired USB condenser microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern, meant for PC and laptop use. It plugs straight into a USB port with no drivers and works on Windows Vista through 10 and Mac OS X. Its metal body and long fixed USB 2.0 cable suit desk setups for calls, chat and casual recording. Against USB rivals it is a basic, budget-minded mic: no gain knob, no headphone jack, no mute button and no stand adjustment, so it competes on simplicity rather than features.
