Review on πŸŽ™οΈ Samson Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Pack: Perfect for Recording and Podcasting (Includes Mic Clip, Stand, Windscreen, and Cables) by Sara Mahoney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A big glaring problem is not the point.

I wanted to love this mic but there was one big problem. I bought it about two months ago and last night decided to finally set it up for good use. The main reason was to stream with Twitch so I tested the mic in Audacity and it was great that it sounded perfect - crisp and clear. As soon as I loaded the game, it sounded clear for a few minutes, and then it suddenly started crackling and accompanied by white noise. hissing and creaking. I've tried it in 3-4 games and tried removing every other USB device in case of interference but the problem persists. Something is wrong with this mic - no other mic has. I can record 20-30 minutes of audio outside of games and there are no quality issues, but the bold recording while gaming proves that the problem only occurs while gaming.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Slightly dented
