I have owned the Neewer-NW 700 for 3 years, which has taken my nerves a lot…
I never managed to connect it properly, but now that I've slipped more into music production, I wanted to take care of it.
I bought a small Muslady mixer with phantom power and tried to get the mic to work. Did not work. I bought all the cables. Was it so far that the microphone at least worked and I could hear everything on headphones. I don't want that, I want my laptop to recognize this mic, but it doesn't. Then I sent the mixer back and bought a normal phantom power, which is connected to the headphone jack of my PC via a jack. Still does not work. Why is that? Is this due to the microphone or is it due to the headphone jack?

Look through that. Can be due to the tension.
The output signal of the micros is also dependent on the voltage applied. It delivers a much weaker level at 5V than at full 48V. Accordingly, the cheap sound card with 5V has to do much more to conjure up a usable volume, which just leads to the noise mentioned above.
So I did it in such a way that I connected my Behringer mixer with aux cable to sound card, and I can practically transmit and record the mixer audio signal via sound card.
For music production it is recommended to use an external sound card. Ideally one with XLR connections, integrated phantom power and adjustable input and output levels directly on the external sound card. For example this: https://www.kirstein.de/Live-Studio/Studio/Audio-Interfaces/Behringer-U-Phoria-UMC204HD-USB-Audiointerface.html This is also latency-free. After the free registration you get a free download code for the full version from the DAW Tracktion. Other DAWs such as FL-Studio are supported.
