4.0 out of 5 stars A good value, May 26, 2007

By	Johneee T "Johneee" (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samson C01U USB Mic + SP01 Shock Mount Kit

This affordable mic works as advertised. Getting the spider mount with it was a good move. The two units together were an excellent buy. I also use a mic screen, but only because I already had it. Popping Ps has not been a problem. There is one draw back, and it is not the mic's fault. Recording into an HP portable causes occasional static. I tried the mic on a desk top computer and there was no problem. So, whatever is causing the annoying static is because of what is happening in the computer, not due to a fault in the mic. I reduced the problem by putting the LOW CUT filter to maximum and not exceeding 16db on the gain. I tried three different recording programs in the HP and each one was affected (in varying degrees) by static.

5.0 out of 5 stars great mic, September 20, 2008

By	Jean Renard "JR" (los angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Samson C01U USB Mic + SP01 Shock Mount Kit

This is a great mic. The mic gets 5 stars
You should be careful of two things:
I have a PC and the bundles comes with cakewalk software which is not very user friendly and I ended up using a freeware application to record sound with. I am not clever with this so I give me 1 star (software challenged) but the software will be useful to those who can figure it out, it seems to have lots of bells and whistles.

and secondly: The shock mount is necessary and is great (5 stars) but you need to get a heavy stand, the one it comes with tips over (zero stars) unless the mic is vertical but in order to get the best sound the mic should be angled towards the speaker/singer/audio source and when it does, it tips.
