A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The Auron is compact and finished entirely in black, so it looks the part on any desk without dominating it. The RGB ring around the base cycles smoothly through colours, and it’s bright enough to notice on camera without being distracting. The metal stand feels sturdy rather than flimsy, and the mute button sits right on top where you’d expect it, with a satisfying, tactile press.
The GXT 238 Auron is a small microphone, but it doesn’t feel like a budget one. The cardioid pattern does a good job of focusing on your voice and rejecting noise from the sides and rear, and with the windshield fitted, plosives and breath pops are kept well under control.
The tap-to-mute function is genuinely handy. One tap and you’re silent, the ring glows red, and one more tap and you’re back live. No fumbling for a software toggle mid-stream.
Setup takes seconds. Plug in the USB-C-C cable, or use the supplied USB-C-A converter if your PC only has USB-A ports, and the mic is instantly recognised with no drivers to install. The adjustable metal stand lets you angle the mic exactly where you want it, and the headphone output means you can monitor your own voice in real time without any noticeable lag.
The rainbow cycle RGB mode is a nice touch if you want your setup to look a bit more lively, and it can just as easily be turned off if you’d rather keep things understated.
For the price, the GXT 238 Auron punches well above its weight. It’s an easy microphone to recommend to anyone starting out in streaming or content creation who wants a noticeable step up in audio quality without a complicated setup.
The Trust GXT 238 Auron Illuminated USB Gaming Microphone is available now priced around €49.99 and comes in Black.
