Customers are saying

Customers commend the PODMIC Dynamic Podcasting Microphone for its outstanding sound quality and reasonable price. Many appreciate its ease of use, built-in pop filter, and compact size, making it suitable for smaller setups. However, some find its weight to be a drawback. Additionally, a few customers have noted that it requires an XLR cable, not USB.

    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.

    Great Mic for Recording and Streaming

    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!

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Honestly one of the best Microphones I’ve ever had. Sound quality is great when listening to recordings, plus my voice doesn’t get choppy due to moving closer to/ further from the mic.

    This mic is great! it is XLR, so you will need an interface and XLR cables to use it with a PC. The sound is fantastic and it doesn't need to be further amplified using my chosen XLR interface, a wavexlr.

    One of the best mics in its price range. Built like a tank, works as expected, and looks cool. For anyone considering the PodMic, I have it mounted on an Elgato Wave Mic Arm LP. The combo works great, keeping the PodMic out of view during Zoom meetings (with the right camera positioning), but still within optimal position to pick up my voice.

    I bought this to replace a condenser mic. 99% of my mic usage is for work meetings. I absolutely love the sound of this mic straight out of the box. I love it even more after spending about 10 minutes sweetening the audio. Ambient noise rejection is terrific and it looks good on camera.

    One thing to note, you'll need to get a cord with it. It doesn't come with one. With that noted, it's a WONDERFUL mic for everything you'd need.
