🎙️ Samson Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Pack: Perfect for Recording and Podcasting (Includes Mic Clip, Stand, Windscreen, and Cables) Review

I've reviewed and used MANY mics in my time and I can safely say that the Samson Q2U is the MIC people should buy, beginner or not. Build quality Sounds great out of the box Provides a clear upgrade path with USB and XLR support Direct USB monitoring Can sound even better with post processing Better background noise rejection than most other mics Not too heavy

Update: I'm worried I got a fake Samson mic. My original review mentioned that my package had obviously been opened and I didn't have the cable. I have this mic (purchased from another seller) and over time I've started noticing subtle differences between the two. Needed amplification, dropped connection sometimes etc. Well, yesterday I couldn't get the mic to work at all. Turns out the micro USB connector wasn't soldered properly because it came loose and fell out. Now I can't even get the mic

I chose the Samson Q2U as an affordable choice for the podcast interviews I conduct. There are many recommendations for other microphones that cost hundreds of dollars. It's out of my budget! Pros: Easy to set up. USB or cable connection. Both are long cords so you can move things around. Works with Skype. Works with wireless headphones. Cons: The only negative I can say is that I don't really like the stand. It's a bit of an artificial feeling. I appreciate that it comes with a stand, but it's

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…

This is a really great combination, Behringer UM2 audio interface and Samson Q2U microphone. I used the USB CAD U37 microphone and was amazed by the difference. Where have I been all these years? Get this combo as suggested by the podcast experts. It's so easy to set up and use. The volume controls for the microphone input and headphone output make recording and monitoring so easy. I use it for podcasts after blogging for a few years. The microphone perfectly picks up speech from 2 to 15 inches

I bought this mic specifically for Twitch/Mixer/YouTube streaming and I love it! I set it up with the windshield and all, tested it as hard as possible for background noise and controller clicks, keyboard clicks and clicks, they are very weak. If you press normally, then it's not there. I also have 2 fans, one of which is a tower fan that runs pretty loud on the highest settings and doesn't pick up at all. Another ceiling fan that is also not raised. My room is totally raw with relatively bare…

I'm in love with my Samson Q2U! It's great for virtual meetings, podcasting, storytelling, etc. It's not a professional microphone, but it's close enough that you can get one for less than $100. The fact that it comes with an XLR cable is just a bonus, the USB connection works much better than other USB mics I've tried. I recently used a Fifine Metal condenser recording mic (a Revain bestseller) and was very disappointed. While this worked for audio recordings, it didn't work for live virtual…

You can find many reviews online and YouTube videos on this mic so I'll be short and sweet. this microphone. Yes, you can spend hundreds on another mic (and I did), but unless you have very specific needs, there's really no reason to buy another mic. The Q2U sounds good, rejects background noise very well, and has the basic features you need to get started. If you don't intend to record in a processed environment, DO NOT buy a condenser mic, just use a dynamic mic like the Q2U. I recommend…

It's been so long but WOW! This was the BIG result for my home studio! A great singing buddy of mine advised me to get a dynamic mic for home recording because it's better than condenser mics for vocals in reverberant rooms (I also have a Rode condenser mic). After this purchase, I may never need my condenser mic again! The price is TOP! I heard about this microphone from a YouTube podcast. The original dynamic mic I wanted, the Samson CS mic, was discontinued, with the exception of the Revain…
