Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: -Solid build quality (all metal and has as much heft as a heavy rock) -The audio quality is top notch -Built-in shock mount (although, it's so-so) -Builti-in pop filter (although, not the best) Cons: -Not as bass heavy as other mics (but that can be fixed in post) -Built-in pop filter is not the best. Either speak at the mic at an angle or get a cheap windscreen (not included) -If you have a cheap boom arm, you may have to tighten the joints immensely because this is a HEAVY microphone -XLR only (if you're on the go, you will need an audio interface or mixer of some sort, I have a Scarlett Solo so it's not a big deal for me) Conclusion: This is definitely worth throwing in my bag for traveling and setting up quickly. It is a tad light on the bass side of things BUT a bit 'bright' on the mids. Is this a better performer than my Shure SM7B, of course not. But it is one of the best mics I have that is under $100 (the Samson Q2U being my other best backup mic).

I believe ive bought 2 or 3 of these so far and they’re literally awesome, especially on a budget podcast setup, they compete with my sm7bs pretty tightly. I don’t think they beat them but they’re close!

Got two of these, one for myself and one for my brother. They're perfect. I paired them with the Rodecaster Duo and some $30 mic arms* I got off Amazon. The sound is sharp, crisp, and just plain ole good. However, with the apps that you can download, you can change the settings to match whatever sound you like. *Make sure the arm you have or you plan on buying can handle the weight of these. Although not terribly heavy, these do pack a bit more weight than some other mics out there.

This microphone is a game-changer. It's easy to use, and the sound quality is fantastic. The built-in pop filter is a huge bonus, reducing unwanted sounds. I highly recommend this microphone to anyone wanting to improve their podcast recordings.

I've always wanted a mic for my setup. this fits perfectly on my small desktop setup. when not in use, I just fold the stand back and don't have to put away any accessories.

This microphone is excellent! It’s very easy to install and use. The sound quality is outstanding — I give it 100%! Highly recommended.”

Great microphone especially considering the price, this mic sounds fantastic and if you pair it with the right interface such as the wave xlr, it’s going to sound fantastic. Save your money on any big name microphone, this $100 mic can stand with any one of those $300-$600 microphones

Great microphone for podcasts, long gaming sessions with friends, or recordings. The quality is great, being mostly metal, but if you own one of those spring cantilever microphone arms this will weigh it down significantly. I also didn’t like the fact that there isn’t a preamp.

The out of the box sound quality of this mic is great. No adjustments needed for great sound. Great for the price!

This podmic is comparable to microphones at 300-400$ and it even sounds better paired with there Rodecaster pro 2. 100$ is a still! Don't hesitate just buy!

Excellent sound quality - average pop filter The mic produces high quality sound and is easy to adjust. The pop filter is average, but the mic is not designed to talk directly into it (though you can), but by positioning it above or below the mouth, plosives completely disappear. I recommend positioning it slightly above, as when it's below, it can pick up your exhales. Excellent mic for voice over work and audio narration.

Decent mic for the price. I have more expensive microphones that sound better with a wider dynamic range but this mic will do the job for podcasting and narrations. The build quality is excellent as it is a solid piece of equipment. Heavy in the hand and feels well made. For $100 it’s a good mic. XLR input not USB. Rode makes good stuff!!

Really solid XLR mic for general use & streaming, has worked very well

Simple as. Its cheap, its effective and it looks great. If youre a streamer on a budget this is the mic for you. Keep in mind you will need to get an XLR Mixer though.

this has been a great mic, use it for my podcast- sound quality amazing

This is a great XLR microphone to get started with and stick with. There are a wide range of XLR microphones with different capabilities and generally higher prices. This microphone checked all the boxes, Great price, great quality and versatile. I have it paired with the Wave Link XLR. So far, so good.

This really is an excellent mic for the price. It is XLR only so you will need an interface of course, but it is worth going with it. There is a nice warmth to the sound. When I played it for my daughter, she commented on how natural this mic sounded compared to the Blue Yeti which has an almost mechanical sound. It is a tremendous value for the price. Don't spend the $300 plus on other mics for spoken word.

Sound quality 9.5/10 Ease of use 8.3/10 (requires xlr mic) Kinda heavy, but overall I’m happy with my purchase.

Started a podcast with a few friends and after a lot of research online this dynamic mic from Rode is great! The best part is it’s only $100 which is an amazing price for such a well constructed and sounding mic. Depending on your needs, you may want a pop filter to put on as it does occasionally allow sone pops through, but again for the price point it is really a fantastic mic.

One of the best value dynamic mics on the market, my only gripe is that you have to be 2-3 inches away from it for the best quality, sometimes I stray away unconsciously from it which isn't ideal. Otherwise, extremely solid, sounds amazing, and it's VERY hefty.
