This mic works great! Best USB mic I have ever used. Works well as a room mic for drums. I have used it to record vocals, but it isn't the best for that. It sounds a little bit muddy, and cuts out. However, for just talking it sounds good. It also records bass guitar very well. Sounds crisp and has good bass accuracy. However, it isn't quite cut out for electric guitar--just doesn't sound right. Acoustic guitar sounds great though. It's also very easy to use and quite durable, all metal (except for the little stand thing). Overall, I would definitely recommend as an all around mic. I use it all the time in demos or video calls. It's not quite professional quality though.

Mic picks up great details while having good overall noise suppression. Headphone amp is a good compliment providing feedback on mic levels and sound. Stand is ok but allows sound to travel into mic. That is not a problem if the user does not make any contact with the mic stand.

It is a mic, that of which it does well enough in that department. The headphone jack right on the front is quite useful and handy, it outputs a bit on the loud side not going to lie, not necessarily a bad thing however, just something to keep in mind. It only has one mode (supercardioid) which is good, but this means that you have to be speaking rather directly in front of it to pick up your voice properly enough, otherwise It'll sound a bit off literally, otherwise it does a stellar job when you are speaking into it at the optimal angle. Overall for only barely over $50 this mic is a good steal imo, I'd recommend if you need something to start out with content creation or whatnot, I dare say it would be good enough for a podcast setting as well, just be sure to get a on mic pop filter cause if you have the input gain set above 85 (on Windows 10 anyhow), if you're loud enough close to the mic or blow into it, it will peak so be aware of that.

Super cardioid adı verilen mikrofon tipinde. Yani kalp şeklinde bir alandan sesi alıyor, dış sesler pek algılanmıyor, bu da benim gibi seslendirme sanatçıları için müthiş bir imkan.Zira sırt çantama laptop ve mikrofonu koyup mobilize olabiliyorum ve çok da ses olmayan dış mekanlarda bile seslendirme yapabiliyorum.Dip ses hakikaten çok minimal. Audacity kullanıyorum program olarak, başka bir şeye ihtiyacınız yok, şayet ham ses ( temiz ) göndermek sizin için yeterli ise.Ancak yedek olsun diye abd'den sipariş ettiğim ürün maalesef bozuk geldi, iade ettim.Rode mini usb mi bu mu derseniz, fiyat açısından yarı yarıya fark olduğu için kesinlikle samson derim.Usb a ile klasik usb girişlerine bağlanabiliyor, kullanılan kablo standart yazıcı kablosu unutmayın, kısa geldiği için daha uzun bir yazıcı kablosu alıp taktım sorunsuz kayıt alıyorum.Usb c giriş varsa cihazlarınızda dönüştürücü takabilirsiniz, sorun olacağını zannetmiyorum.

I LOVE this mic. Its fairly inexpensive compared to the competition and the sound quality is pretty great for streaming on twitch like I do. I spend countless hours tweaking mic settings and it sounds perfect! Im sure id prefer an SM7B or an XLR but this mic is perfect for my price right now and I enjoy the quality.

I had been using AirPods for Zoom calls with poor quality mic input. This was a good value addition that is also pretty low profile on the desk. Setup for the Mac was super easy - just plugged it in and things work. One note is that some apps will default to other Mic sources so it’s important to double check the app and system settings to ensure you are getting proper use from this device. It’s a minor annoyance but well worth it for the audio quality.

Não tem do que reclamar. Muito prático você apenas plugar um microfone como se fosse um pendrive e começar a gravar no seu editor de audio ou participar de reuniões online com mais qualidade e clareza no audio. Um microfone condensador completo e moderno! eu achei que pelo fato de USB teria desvantagens em relação aos de plug XRL's, mas estão no mesmo nível.

Wanting to break into voice acting, this microphone is perfect. It’s a great budget option and I was surprised by just how little latency there was! I usually don’t like hearing myself while I’m speaking as it’s hard to concentrate, I found out this is because of the latency. But plugging headphones into this microphone, and it feels like I’m hearing with my bare ears and not through a microphone!The build quality is great, the Microphone feels sturdy. My only complaint would be the tripod stand. While stable, I feel like some modifications could be made. However with the value of the microphone itself, it’s understandable that they wouldn’t make too quality a stand, especially since most people will mount theirs to a boom arm anyways.

As soon as I plugged it in everyone told me I sound like a god, it's LITTERALY so good at recording sound that there has been no other alternative for me. I've been using this thing for years now and I've had little to no issue sound wise with it.. hoooowever, the stand it sits on, leaves more to be desired, the mic is so heavy it often looses balance and topples over more than a few times, you have to often take time to make sure it's well situated before you do whatever it is you are about to do on the computer. And God help you if you bang on the table out of frustration, this thing is heavy so if it lands say.. on your crotch like it did with me one fateful night, you'll more than likely need an ice pack lol!

Es un micrófono de condensador muy bueno ya que la entrada es USB y no necesitas tabla de mezcla ni alimentación extra. Para usar de puerto de carga un USB directo al PC tiene una calidad de audio muy buena. Fui mirando micrófonos no muy caros y me encontré con este, parecía de buena calidad y buen materia, no me equivoque es un micrófono que sin duda tiene una calidad excelente. Los materiales son fuertes y el sonido que capta espectacular.Lo mejor que le veo a este micrófono sin duda es su calidad de audio, materiales que lo construyen y precio. La verdad es que me esperaba un pero resultado de un micrófono con este precio. Lo único malo que le veo es que al no tener mezcladora se cuela mucho ruido por minimo que sea, pero no es problema alguna ya que si grabas con audacity o un programa así se lo puedes quitar con mucha facilidad.En general es un micrófono perfecto para cantantes sobre todo y YouTubers, en general todo lo que sea grabar en un sitio fijo.
