  • Great mic and connects directly to computer!
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
A wonderful mic! After years of struggle I’m so happy to finally find a good usb mic that can record worthy sound!!! This mic delivers truly authentic sound for vocals and instrumental recordings. I’m testing it out on my classical guitar playing and am amazed by the potential. I now have a studio on my couch. All the mics out there either require a whole sound setup, or don’t deliver great sound. This mic is truly revolutionary for providing both. They’ll probably revolutionise the market - forcing everyone else to follow suit and provide usb connection to top mics. ... show more

  • Great Microphone with Professional Sounde
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
First off, this mic is super easy to use straight out of the box. I purchased an external interface (Scarlett Solo) just in case the built-in interface didn’t produce as good of a sound. Did comparison records and I could hear a slight difference between connecting directly via usb-c vs using the external interface. It was so close though that I didn’t know which was better, both had great clarity and sound quality. One friend thought the “without interface” sounded clearer and crisper, but two professionals whom I sent my clips to liked the “with interface” sound better and said it was a clearer RAW sound for me. Without the interface, it sounds slightly bass-y, like it's gone through a post-edit and been slightly Eq'd. I recorded in a walk-in closet using a reflector shield and the built in pop filter and you don't hear a “floor”. Suggestion... use the USB-C for when you travel (it'll do well in a pinch to just have the mic and laptop) and keep the interface set up in your home studio - love this versatility. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, there’s nowhere to plug in headphones if using the USB-C, so I do prefer using with the Scarlett interface. But I’m puzzled why this mic is $20 cheaper than the previous 4th generation that doesn’t have the built in interface option. Nevertheless, very happy with this mic and my new home studio set up. ... show more

  • Good product. Design can be improved.
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
It's a good product, though the design could be improved with a more minimalist look. The holder could also be minimized. Despite these points, the sound quality is excellent and unbeatable for the price. I recommend it and will add a video review later.

  • A Fantastic USB-C Microphone
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
I use this microphone for voiceover and podcasting. The sound quality is great, and this works perfectly with the rode PSA1 mic stand. Connectivity is great as well, as I don't have any XLR equipment, but with this model you can use USB-C or XLR, and USB-C plugs right into my Mac Studio or MacBook Pro without any other interface. I noticed a deeper, richer sound over my previous USB Microphone, a Blue Yeti. It also came with a soft bag to store the mic in, but it also slides over the mic when in the stand to keep it from getting dusty when not in use. ... show more

  • Sounds Heavenly
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
I purchased this product because I do quite a bit of gaming and also sing in my free time, every recording using this microphone is crystal clear and crisp 10/10 worth the price.

  • Sound quality is excellent
Model: NT1 5th Gen Color: Black
This is a great product. Easy to set up and the sound quality is excellent. I am having some software issues, though. Only certain software can record 32-bit floating point audio. In Audacity, I am experiencing periods of a sudden drop in loudness of the recording, but only when doing long recordings (more than 10 minutes). The periods last for about 10 seconds and appear at random in the recordings. The recordings are unusable when this occurs. I am not moving on to Adobe Audition and will see what happens. I am presuming that this is a software issues and not a problem with the microphone. ... show more
