Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best microphone I have ever personally owned. It sounds great and the build quality feels incredibly solid. FYI you need some kind of microphone arm or stand to mount it as it does not include a mount in the box. Personally, I bought the RODE arm and an Elgato Wave XLR with it to operate it.

Its a good sounding mic that i would recommend to anyone looking to upgrade their mics. Its a nice starter mic if you're just getting into xlr microphones. It has a good heft to it while also being small and sturdy so you dont have to worry about breaking easily.

Great quality, great price. You won't need to spend too much in a good mic

Sturdy and high quality! For the price point you can’t beat the audio and build quality!

I switched from a Behringer XM8500 to the RODE PODMIC, because I found that the Behringer wasn't quite right for my particular voice when recording dialogue. This PODMIC is much more treble-heavy, and is perfect for spoken word or voiceover. You can always add more bass into your recordings in post, which works just fine.

This is the best in class for the price. Good mic. Good value.

I love this microphone so far. I paired it with the Elgato Wave XLR and it has been an amazing little device; my voice is clear and doesn't distort or clip like it did with my old condenser microphone. It has been a worthwhile investment into my content creation and every day life.

100% worth its price, the sound you get out of this Mic is well worth it, and by the way, I purchased two of these mics for how good they make you sound.

I am really enjoying this mic for zoom, recording teaching videos, and gaming. I have it hooked up to an Audient Evo 4 and so far haven't had any issues with the gain at 100%. A fethead would probably be ideal, but nobody has said I'm too quiet yet. The sound rejection is excellent and this thing is super directional. Definitely note that it's super heavy. The arm I got on Amazon is barely strong enough to hold it up, but it's been fine for over a month now!

Be proud, Australia: Your Rode microphone line is world class! The Podmic is a solid winner through and through!

Easy and efficient, plug and play. Great sound quality.

Make sure you understand that this isn't plug and play, get yourself a Scarlett 2i2 to power it, don't by a cheap audio interface or it won't supply enough power to this mic. When hooked up correctly, amazing.

This is.ky 1st RODE product and I will never use another brand.

Amazing quality. Not made with cheap plastic, all metal. Heavy and worth the value. Very clear, I do recommend getting a pop filter though. Easy setup and goes perfectly the the RODE PSA1+ stand.

Brings high quality dynamic mic audio at a fraction of the price. If you own a scarlett interface you might need to be running the gain almost at max but no it doesn't really need a pre-amp. Mix does weigh a hefty 2 lbs so make sure your boom arm can support it.

Definitely recommend this for podcasting! Bought this because a few listeners were saying my voice was too low and I adjusted so many times with my old mic. Upgraded and now my sound is crisp and perfect! Cuts out a lotnof background noise. Looks really amazing as well.

the crisp clear sound that comes from this mic us unbeatable, highly recommend if your podcasting or streaming

The quality of the mic, at the price point is surprising. We already had four Rode PodMics for our podcast recording studio and needed to add two more. Durable, sleek and overall good performance.

Best mic I’ve used for podcasting. I used several other mics that constantly picked up highway noise. This mic easily mask background audio.

This mic is an incredible beginner mic for any oodcaster or content creator. Dynamic microphones provide the best audio for any sort of broadcast situation, and this one is affordable and sounds great.
