    • Great quality, great price
Style: XLR / USB
Perfect intersection of price and quality, I use for recording music (vocals) and podcasts.

    • Great sound quality
Style: XLR / USB
I upgraded from the Audio Technica AT2020 to this bad boy. The sound quality is quite different, with the quality coming from the Samson Q9U sounding more crisp and clear, with far less background noise. Not to mention, it comes with a windscreen, which gives it an even bigger leg up on the AT2020.

    • Great sound with internal pre-amp
Style: XLR / USB
The sound is brilliant, even without the included wind screen, plosives are hardly audible. I've recorded music and used it for voice, for both purposes it's great, for music, just make sure you don't set the gain too high so that it doesn't reach the limit (causing clipping). I played around with the gain by opening Audacity and recording a single playthrough of the song I was going to record at a high gain, then noticed where the clipping was happening and decreased the gain a little and played those parts again at the same volume and same distance from the microphone and repeated this process until no clipping occurred. I only rated it 4 stars since the preamp doesn't quite go high enough for voice purposes when you want to have the microphone a little distance away from the speaker, but it was close enough that it wasn't really an issue. With an external preamp, this could be fixed anyways, so I wouldn't fault the microphone too much. I would also add that dynamic microphones usually have this issue, if voice is the only thing you care about, a condenser microphone may be a better option for you at the expense of it being a bit more sensitive to noise. Another note, the top of the microphone is where it picks up best, but you'll see drawings in multiple locations on the packaging and multiple other locations to show hints of how it should be set up to face the speaker. Since it's has a cardiod pickup pattern, it also does a pretty good job at ignoring noise from the back of the microphone and the sides. ... show more

    • Nice Mic!
Style: XLR / USB
This mic sounds really good for the money, and I am very happy with the results of my screen videos for my website. Sounds way better than the last cheap headset I had.

    • Universal microphone for meetings/podcasts
Style: XLR / USB
This mic is very agile and can save you tons of money because of USB. So if you want to have more professional setup you can spend money on audio interface, maybe preamp, xlr cables etc, but if you're not ready for this yet, USB allows you to just plug and play with it. Included items are great, you have usb-c and usb-a cables, pop filter. Physical mute button on the mic is very great feature, and it has two frequencies tune switches on it; it works both with USB and XLR connection. Frequencies are tuned for speech, the sound not so crisp for vocals, but really good for talking. The are only two minor cons: 1. Internal USB preamp is slightly noisier than what you can get from standalone audio interfaces like focusright, native instruments or behringer or more expensive options. It is fixable with noise reduction plugins for recording. When talking in meetings it is impossible to notice when you talk, and many meetings software has built-in noise reduction... 2. Mic is pretty good at capturing sound in front of it, and not catching on sides and back side, however, it easily catches vibrations or bumps, probably because of full metal construction and some internals... so if you have a table stand or table mic arm stand and if you hit the table or touch the arm or pressing keyboard buttons too loud - the mic will catch it. To eliminate it you can use floor stand or be more careful with movements. ... show more

    • This mic is the BEST! But Do NOT mount with boom arm on glass desk!!! It’s heavy
Style: XLR / USB

Review Image by Henessy Smith Henessy Smith
I LOVE this mic! In my opinion it’s better than the SM7B or whatever that mic is, that everybody has. I was tryna to buy that one, but I had to do my research to see if it was worth it. I’m glad I came across and researched this one! Sometimes high prices doesn’t mean something is better than the other. This one is just as expensive as well. It changed the dynamics of my voice really well! My voice can be a lil high pitched, and I didn’t like it for streaming, but this one adds natural depth to your voice. It’s optional if your voice is already deep, you can turn off the low end etc. The only BAD thing i have to say about this mic, is it’s heavy… and needs a durable boom arm to carry it! And so that’s perfectly fine! But I do NOT advise mounting it with a powerful boom arm on a glass desk/table. I was about to stream and BOOM! Moving the boom arm, shattered my glass for my desk right before i went LIVE!!!!! I still use it on another glass desk i have, my art desk that has a thicker glass, all i did was add aluminum foil inbetween the clamp, so the glass won’t break when moving. See 2nd photo uploaded. I didn’t want to buy another desk. I had a curve desk, so it was easy to remove the broken section and still have half the desk left. And i added my art desk to make up for the broken section. Easy fix! Buy the MIC it’s a BETTER quality mic! Just make sure you buy a sturdy boom arm, and have a durable desk to mount it! 😉 Dont be like me and mount it on glass desk with boom arm. It’s too heavy for that it will break your desk! Oh and it didn’t need an audio interface or any pre-amp to power it. It’s plug and play. I just went to system preferences to adjust volume on mic. I later on bought a GOXLR Helicon, which I haven’t set up and used yet. And NO it does not require phantom power! Ight this review too long now byeee lol ... show more

Muy buen sonido, incluso en lugares con mala acústica o ruido exterior. Recomiendo totalmente si van a grabar podcast en sus casas.

    • Simple > complicated
Style: XLR / USB
Even your grandma can figure it out. Make no mistake the sound quality is top notch and people will be impressed but more importantly they'll be able to hear you clearly. I could buy more gear and get a fancier microphone but with desktop set ups I've noticed that the simpler i keep it (without sacrificing quality) the better it is for me in the long run.
