A fine piece of kit

9 July 2018
The best thing about this microphone is its ease of use. It really is a matter of unbox it, screw part A to part B, and plug it in. Everything else just happens. The next best thing is the quality. It is a very sensitive microphone - one doesn't have to eat the blessed thing to get it to hear one loud and clear. My only gripe is that the stand it comes with is not very adjustable, but hey, I can go for the expensive remedy and buy another stand - it has a standard mounting arrangement - or go for the cheap option and grab a couple of books out of my bookshelf to prop it up on. Oh, and the red light that shows that there's power on to it stays...

Amazing product

21 October 2018
Amazing product for it's price, got it on sale, I did have a frustrating 2 hours trying to sort out the microphone not being detected on my computer only to find out the USB to Mini USB cable was not working and just had to buy a new one.
Just buy a USB to Mini USB cable and you should be set!

Performance and price!

5 August 2018
Surprised by the quality of this mic considering the low price point.
Extremely easy to set up and use, no software required other than standard windows drivers.
Wouldn't mind a mute button but for the price I'm not complaining

GREAT FIRST MIC!

12 June 2018
At first, I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. I needed a mic that would be good for live streaming and podcasting or recording voice overs or vocals for music. This pretty much delivered and meet my expectations. The boys always crack up when I jump on line with my deep, velvety voice! haha!

Solid product

Brought this item to increase sensitivity of audio pick up so that I could turn pick up down to reduce background noise (family environment). It has provided some reprieve.

Great sound quality, a little chunky in size and weight. The downside is the bright red LED that shines in your face, nothing some black electrical tape won't cover though. In hindsight I would have spent a little extra for something more compact

"The team in Wellington were fantastic while helping me with my P30 Pro pre-order! Daniel and Charlotte especially went out of their way! Thanks, guys!"
Jesse - 12/04/2019
"I would like to take the time to thank two amazing staff members pbtech Christchurch has. Tyler and Jordan are outstanding members of your team and make the experience at your store highly enjoyable. I am a full time Photographer so am a regular customer, there has not been a single time when I have felt like an inconvenience. Tyler and Jordan are very skilled and knowledgeable and always take the time to help me, explain to me or just chat. I just honestly can't say how highly I think of these two people If you would like any more information please let me know as there has been so many situations where I have been amazed at their abilities and approach to problem solving. Thanks again !"

"Hi I went in to the Hamilton store looking for a laptop. A sales rep by the name of Shaun H.M was very helpful and made honest professional recommendations based on my needs and budget. I went away with a product that I was happy with, and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great service - Shaun made the whole experience less daunting :)"
Melody - 06/04/2019
"I bought gigabyte aorus 15 w9 and the whole process was quite smooth via credit card, however when selecting payment method as finance now, it did not succeed. The product was delivered in one day after ordering and everything was in great condition. About Aourus 15W9, it is the best laptop in its category with excellent performance, build quality and aesthetics. Everything worked out of box in windows 10 home. I easily upgraded to win 10 Pro. Apart from Windows I am using dual boot with manjaro Linux and everything worked right out of box on manjaro linux too which was quite surprising as I expected it to be not so smooth. I must say that it is performing better on Linux than on windows. A great machine."

I contacted PB Tech, who advised the correct product. They quickly and efficiently sorted out a return, credited my account and then went the extra mile and ordered me the correct memory using some of the credit. PB Tech totally rocks!"

"I previously dealt with William Habgood years back in the Christchurch branch, he left a lasting impression on me because of his professionalism and follow up email a couple of days after selling me components. Years on, I still had his email address so I thought I'd give it a go; depsite him no longer working in sales or even in Christchurch he helped me select some great components to meet my needs and ensured everything would arrive promptly and would work together. After the components arrived I had a couple of installation questions and again he was more than happy to help guide me with advice. This is the kind of service you all too often don't find any more. Thanks William!"

"Just like to say that I learned a lot today from Mark Stephens, Penrose branch. I'm pretty technical, with many decades of business and personal ICT experience, and wanted advice on choosing a Power Supply to suit my main home PC system with a dozen SATA3 drives. I did end up buying a $711 PSU - not because he tried to sell it to me, he didn't, but from what I did learn, I think it will satisfy my current requirements. We also discussed potential future options if my requirements grow. Great service, appreciated, thanks."
Damien - 15/01/2019
"I came into the Hornby PB Tech to buy the parts for my first PC, JOHN was a very big help and answered any questions I had with the parts I was looking at, He even stopped me from buying the wrong size motherboard so I'm thankful for him doing that. Please make sure that he is rewarded for his exceptional work and knowledge of computers!"

"Hi there. I recently came in to pb tech just yesterday to purchase a new gaming monitor. I had already been in a few month prior and one of you sales suggested a couple of good potential monitor, although they were good they were not at all ideal. As I am a console player only. So yesterday when I came in, and asked about them again I had a different sales person. Jordan Sharplin. I told him about the one the other sales had suggested, jordan said. oh that's odd I wonder why he suggested that because that version wouldn't actually work for what I wanted so he had a look himself. He ended up finding the perfect monitor for me. A very nice Acer and it was even better quality than the previously suggested screens. This man Jordan saved from certain dooms and I am so happy with the monitor I have purchased. It is beautiful and it runs spectacularly. Could not be happier. Well I could be happier actually, this young man Jordan sharplin is sharp with his knowledge of these technologies. He was very patient and listened very well, to use is super pb tech abilities to find the best version of best monitors for me. I fully support that this man deserves a PAY RISE. He is an amazing customer service he is humble and excited happy and smiling he wasn't just trying to sell a screen to make a sale he wanted to help the person in need good vibes all round I would absolutely love to walk in to your hornby branch again when I come to get my computer in.a later date. But to find out this man got a pay rise for being such an incredible part of your team. He knows his stuff and he doesn't fluff around. Pay rise this man today. God only knows we deserve one, especially the good ones like Jordan. It's not every day you walk in to a shop. And leave with the feeling that you can't wait to go back. Thank you very much, Jordan you have made my Christmas. And pbtech you have earned your next valued customer. Merry Christmas. And happy new year"
