It's good for a Starter

ByJozzicson March 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is the Ideal mic and headset for a person starting their own studio. The mic isn't the best I have ever seen but for the price range it sure is good. I was skeptical but the XLR did come in handy. And it is heaps better than any built in microphone for any other webcam, laptop etc. The headphones are excellent, far better than any other headphones you'll get for fifty bucks.

Mic and headphones have a weighty, good quality feel and it's sure as hell worth five stars.

Awesome budget mic choice!

ByKerumboon August 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

For voice recording such as a podcast this cannot be beat for the price. I wouldn't say it sounds like a $300-$400 mic, but it really sounds good, both on USB and XLR connections, and the direct monitoring (for USB only) works perfectly. Great choice for travel, but buy a different desktop stand, a folding one if you're taking it on the road. This stand does need the height extender (unless you hunch-over the desk, or are very short!), which was a good idea but I found the threading was defective. I have the AT2005USB mic, and (although I love AT mics) this one is way better. In Windows 8.1, for USB recording I need the volume way up at 95 -- the Windows USB mic driver STINKS any later than Win 7, so that's not too surprising -- but there is pretty much zero hiss or self-noise even at that level. On XLR I also have to push the pre-amp pretty hard, but that's pretty much as expected for a dynamic mic, and again the results are good. On USB there's only 16 bit but it will do 48,000, which sounds good. I have some "better" mics but this one is my new favorite just for fun and travel, and to recommend for beginners who want to improve their sound.

This microphone is good for my purposes

ByWendy Kon September 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

This microphone is fine. I dislike the headphones, although they sort of work. For some reason they make a crackling noise and there's some kind of delay, but the company's customer service rep pretty much said, "Tough luck" when I asked why. NOTE: They DID offer to let me return it, but I didn't want that, I just wanted a simple answer!

I borrowed someone else's Blue Yeti for one of my webinars, and the sound quality is much better. But the Yeti has its own issues (picks up every hint of background noise AND it is fixed on a desk so you can't really move it around). For the price, this microphone is good.

A big improvement from the cheap headset

ByJoaquinon August 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I set this up yesterday and started streaming with this. The mic quality is simply miles ahead from my old headset. No more breathing sounds, pops, and nice clear sound. I am pretty soft spoken, and this mic had no issues. For the price, I cannot be happier.

Upsides:
- Great sounding mic for the price. However, do not expect a $13,000 tube mic experience. It does the job, and quite well.
- I love the dual XLR and USB
- Setup is a snap

Now for the downsides:

- The headphones are junk. I am guessing they help with incentive, but if you need good monitoring, get a decent headset.
- It does not come with a storage case, and the box it came in is not very good. I am storing this in some towels until I get a proper storage case.
- You will need a pop filter.
- The stand is not all that great. Gladly, I have an old mic stand that works just fine. You might be well served to invest in one. Mainly because this mic picks up every sound on your desk.

In other words, you get what you pay for. My main concern was getting a decent mic. All the other stuff was gravy, but the gravy was not all that great. The truth is, when you are going to record, you will be spending some money in stands, headsets, filters, and other gear. The set will probably hold you over a while if you need to buy things in increments.

I recommend this!

Samson Q2U handheld Dynamic Mic.

ByMatt Gullstrandon May 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

For this teir of mic I can't complain. I originally bought it for outside work (used for announcements at a go kart track) and its wonderful. I'd say it's much more appropriate for use indoors with programs like Skype (what I use it for now), Discord, Vent, etc. Crisp sound for recording, especially with the wind screen or a pop filter. If you do use this outside, -definitely- grab one or two wind screens for cheap. Makes life easier.

The headphones are standard, mostly fine for recording needs/playback, simple stuff. As far as using it to enjoy gaming or streaming services, possibly even music, I'd say just stick with or purchase a good quality headset. Played a few games with this one and given there's no volume control attached, and that the headset itself is really just standard, the sound does get very loud and unfortunately muddled. Probably fine for podcasting though.

Given that it came with the mic, and for pretty cheap, I can't complain. Good package overall.

The mic works great and the sound is 90% as good as any ...

ByChris Sharpon May 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

The mic works great and the sound is 90% as good as any Heil or other expensive mic--buy one of these first! You won't need an amp or anything.

The headset is a cheap plastic joke. The look good and they provide sound--but when you put them on your head you can feel the $ 1.73 they spent manufacturing each pair. I wish I didn't get the headset for free with the mic--would have been better to just lower the price.

Good sound and served the purpose I needed it for.

ByKindle Customeron October 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this Microphone in order to be a guest on a podcast. It performed as expected, but I didn't use the included headphones because I wear glasses and they pressed too much on the frames. Overall the sound was good, and I got what I paid for at this price point.

Excellent microphone for the price.

ByVaani Bhadraon August 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent microphone for the price. It considerably raised the volume of my voice on my podcasts which is exactly what I needed, and for an excellent price. It's definitely not suitable for highly professional podcasting but a great option for beginners or those on a tight budget. I think this product is better than the Blue Microphones Snowball iCE Condenser Microphone, Cardioid as my voice is louder with this one. Recommended.
