Great sound quality when talking. Singing is a little more difficult to get set right to get the best quality sound. Using regularly for choir, school recordings, and starting a podcast.

I’ve only had this for two days and I absolutely love it! This microphone works very well! I would highly recommend this product! Keep up the good work!

Love the microphone! Excellent sound quality when I’m streaming or having a wo chat with friends!

First impressions for myself and my son were the same, which is scary in and of itself. At a minimum it reflects my mental age still being that of a teen. We both looked at the Samson mic and said, “That looks like a light saber.” The beauty of this mic is twofold. First and foremost is the quality of the recorded sound. It truly feels studio quality. I am very impressed with the recordings I have done. As a test of its sensitivity I listed over headphones attached to my work cell while my wife walked and talked in the other room. The mic was hooked up to my personal cell which I had called and I could hear her better thru the mic than I could with it muted. The second biggie is the compact design of this mic. Competitors are much larger in design and in my mind quite bulky. This mic has a stand built into it that allows you to get creative in how you prop it up. I had it sitting at a 45 degree angle while using it and it was perfectly stable. There are 3 modes: Omnidirectional, Bidirectional, Unidirectional. This is consistent with what most studio mics will provide. The mode you select is where you want to record from. Recording a group conversation is easily done with one mic in Omnidirectional. A two way conversation is easily recorded in Bidirectional. A single voice can be recorded with the Unidirectional mode. You can connect headphones to the mic to have audio played back thru the mic connection. This is useful if using as a mic connected to a phone. Now for the great unadvertised portion. This is advertised to work with Windows, Apple and iOS. It works fantastic with Android 10 even though it is not advertised. While a iPhone cable is included with the mic along with a micro-usb to USB A cable,. A USB A to C converter or cable is all that is needed for it to work with my phone. IF you want to use a boom with the mic, it attaches like any other boom mic would. Are there shortcomings? Unfortunately yes. Where the micro usb connects to the mic, that port seems like it could be slightly fragile. The mic is well built, but the way the cord connects the metal is visible and gives me pause. That is the only reason I drop a star. (I uploaded a picture to show the port.)

I wanted a USB mic to do voice overs for some of my videos on the go. I usually carry my laptop with me when I'm on travel and I needed something light to carry on with it. Sometimes having my laptop is too cumbersome and that's where this thing becomes most useful. This thing is pretty awesome. It has such a premium look and feel to it, and its about a 1/3 the size of feature-comparable USB mics. It is easily used on Windows 10 and is plug-n-play. I normally use it in cardioid, but it does omni and bi-directional as well. It has a 3.5mm for a monitor with a volume gain. Where I was most impressed was its connectivity with iOS devices. I can now do voice overs on my videos with this mic on my iPhone and it sounds tons better than the built-in microphone. Although not explicitly advertised, the manual states that I can use this mic on Android devices with an host OTG adapter. I gave it a try on my Note 10+ and although it was recognized as a microphone during voice over recordings, the mic constantly clipped (the led indicator flashes red constantly) and my recordings sounded like Barry White. This would have been a bonus, so no stars lost here. Highly recommended.
