Coworkers can hear me clearly on conference calls

Posted by: Catky2 from Colorado Springs, CO on 05/03/2013I love how small and portable it is- easy to just plug into the computer and begin speaking. My co-workers noticed a huge change in the quality during conference calls.

Great if you're not looking for anything serious

Posted by: KyleP from Madison, WI on 04/26/2013Overall pretty good. I bought it to record some acoustic guitar that I needed recorded right away and the quality was pretty impressive. The clamp could open a bit wider and be a bit larger so it has more to grab with.. It kind of defeats the purpose of a small travel mic if you still have to find the perfect way to position it.

Great mic for my young son
5
Posted by: Latino1643 from Staten Island ,N Y on 04/20/2013All in all the value is excellent. My son's newest venture, at 13 years old, is to record you tube videos of him and his friends gaming. We had tried other microphones and found this one to have great sound quality without spending a lot of money

Low noise speech recognition
5
Posted by: adawe from wa on 12/30/2012I use this microphone in a very low noise environment with Windows speech recognition as well as Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, and I have to say it is absolutely amazing the clarity and accuracy of dictation. I clipped this microphone onto a pen and then insert the pan into the handle of a tripod so that I can stand up and dictate very comfortably.
But my room is almost noise free so I'm not sure about noisy environments. Note it is the bedroom of a second-floor house in a average neighborhood.
I can speak about 1/2 foot to 1 foot away from the microphone and it is fine. I'm not sure about going further than 1 foot as it will reduce the accuracy but perhaps not by much.
I am dictating this review using the microphone and so far there have been no errors made. And I'm speaking at a normal pace. Isn't that amazing? I don't really like the wireless headsets because they cramp up my head and years and are very uncomfortable with the larger microphones were too big and awkward to position. This microphone being so tiny and having a clip is just perfect. The recording quality is absolutely amazing for microphone the size and at this price.
I've owned this Mike for about a month now so I can't speak for its durability, however I am a bit concerned about the way the swivel was designed because I'm not sure how tight it will be after being rotated many times in the next years. But right now the swivel is holding up perfectly

Best bang for your buck

Posted by: UncleThursday from Woodbury, NJ on 12/23/2012Wow, I just picked up the Samson Go Mic as a new recording mic. Just doing the very few tests I have, the sound is FAR superior to the mic in this Logitech h540 headset I use for audio playback.
For podcasters or people doing voice overs on video on a budget, this thing is great. It doesn't pick up the lows perfectly, like more expensive condenser microphones will, but the sound with it sitting roughly 12 or so inches from me and talking in a normal speaking voice is clear. And it's only $40.
I haven't even had to use Audacity's noise reduction feature in my tests. And the Logitech headset mic as well as my Logitech HD camera mic picked up a ton more noise in my recording area, which isn't soundproofed.
I cannot comment on the software, as I do not have it installed. I use a Mac and use Audacity to record audio.

Holy cow, what a value
5
Posted by: BenInAustin from Autin, TX on 12/16/2012This thing is small. Like, smaller than a business card small. As soon as I opened the box, I had trepidation about it, but figure I had it unpacked and might as well plug it in. Comes with a nice long 2-meter very flexible USB cable that wasn't so heavy that it pulled it off the desk like some stiff cables can. Plugged it in, tested normal speaking voice at different ranges, and this thing, I gotta say, is incredible for the size and price. (I'm not a singer, so YMMV in that regard, but I bought it for dubbing narrations over YouTube instructional videos.) Glad I bought this rather than the $100+ models. I'm going to keep it in the box so I don't misplace it, though.

great microphone and easy to use

Posted by: mjjmd from Mishawaka, IN on 07/04/2012This is a very good quality microphone to record directly to a computer via USB. The software that is included is an outstanding bonus for the price.
