    I needed a reliable speaker that would transmit to whomever I am having Zoom meeting with. This Microphone is easy to hook up, set on legs that I can retract when not using. Has nice cushion to protect speaker when not in use and bag to cover to keep out dust.

    This mic is excellent for podcasting; extremely easy to use and has a nice sound quality. It doesn't make you sound super radio-ish, but there's a noticable difference between using the recorder on my laptop and having this mic plugged in. Your computer automatically recognizes the mic when it's plugged in. I was amazed at how simple it was to do my first recording.

    Best mic for content creators on the go!

    The Samson Satellite is a creative on-the-go microphone that is excellent for my mobile content creation passions. Samson provides great value by including helpful accessories in the box such as: the usb-c cord, carrying bag, and foam windscreen. This microphone looks as if it was designed by space engineers — or aliens… very cool!

    Very sensitive microphone

    Great build and quality. This USB microphone works right out of the box. Connects via USB to my Mac or iPad. The only issue I had was the sensitivity of the microphone. It picks up on any noise in the room. This mic is great for a studio setup where you can control the noise, but not as a mobile mic you can take to an uncontrolled location. I like the settings, the mute button and headphone output. It stands easily and can be tilted slightly. Feels solid and well made.

    Synchronizes mike input with speaker output

    I wanted a mic where I could listen to a song on earphone while recording a guitar track for a music group I'm in and it would be synchronized. This on does it with good quality. Also, I use it for zoom meetings by plugging the mic into a USB port and a remote speaker into the earphone out port on the mic. This works great with no mic feedback as mic can be set to front only input (also front and back input for interviews or all around input when needed). Also, great with earphones without external speaker. It does all I need with good quality.

    Decent Microphone

    The microphone itself is decent, The feature of zero latency for monitoring is really useful. Another cool feature is the touch button that turns the microphone on (live). The sound is good... nothing to brag about though. It looks really sleek and modern compared to other competitors. Its a plug and play setup. All you need to do is plug it into the USB port and select your desired input/output in your system.

    This microphone works great if you're on the go, using it as a backup, or heck, using it as your main microphone for voice recordings, work, streaming, or gaming. If you're looking to start out in podcasting, streaming, or vlogging, but you don't want to drop too much $$$, this is the way to go. Oh, it can also take some punishment as well.

    I picked up this microphone to use for live church services and it worked great. It was super easy to plug into an iPhone or iPad and increased the sound quality dramatically. If you’re looking for an inexpensive mic for recording, this is it.

    I found this microphone easy to use and it produced excellent quality audio. I have been using it to produce online video courses (via Vimeo) that I embed into a website. The cost was under $100 which is not bad for quality and ease of use.

    I use this device for recording music into an iPad with GarageBand. It's very nice and sturdy for the price, and has a good range of pickup. Sleek look and simply controls round out the package. The legs are a bit flimsy, but it will never fall over when you set it up, just make sure if you're moving it you don't push down too hard or it will bottom out. I also own a Samson meteor, and have always been pleased with its quality. Glad to add another of their products to my collection.
