Best product I have ever reviewed, I recommend it to everyone!

Its pros: a balder condenser microphone, just right for hanging out with friends on a discord, or getting together for a work meeting on zoom, you will be perfectly heard in any case, Got cons: the standard wire out of the box after 1.5 years began to fail and connect poorly to the laptop, but this is not really a problem, as for me, I bought a new one and there is no soul in it

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

An excellent universal microphone for my money, I bought it on Ali a long time ago, I recommend it to all my friends. The other day, on occasion, I bought a HyperX quadcast for half the price, and so after recording the comparative pieces it turned out (to my surprise) that Samson is not inferior in sound at all! If we compare their prices, then an overpayment of 3-4 times will give only backlight, mute the microphone by touch, a couple of additional modes (although in 90% of cases only a…

Pros
  • - recording quality! in terms of sound quality, it competes with much more expensive brands, and it will definitely be enough for the needs of most ordinary people. - compact, you can take it with you on trips in a case, very convenient. - a clip that equally conveniently allows you to attach a microphone to a monitor or laptop screen, to a pantograph or simply put it on a table. - there is proprietary software from Samson with quite good noise reduction, which muffles background noise at high sensitivity.
Cons
  • - lack of stereo mode, not suitable for ASMR (though isn't that a plus?) - software with noise reduction is paid, however, whoever searches will always find it;) - not very "fashionable" appearance

My home studio goes - now let's step up the case.

I make tutorial videos for work and usually have to go into the studio with a Yeti Blue mic. I was commissioned to record a round table of individuals and it worked great, but then I had to travel across the country and do it somewhere else. I needed something small, portable and powerful. I was shocked to see how tiny the mic was when it arrived and thought "Of course it won't sound good." So I tested it at my house before hitting the road 2 days later went. It seemed to sound good. So I went…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky

I use this for non-professional VK over Skype, Bane, Discord etc. The mic quality seems decent to be. I used it on Skype in -10db mode. According to the person I spoke to, that sounded the best. Definitely need a pop screen if you plan to get close to it. Setting the level to 65-70 on Windows 10 was a bit noisy. I have read that another reviewer says that the plastic body of his mic has cracked from the pressure of the clamp/stand and I can see exactly how this is happening as the plastic mic…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • flimsy

Surprisingly good value for money

This device offers 16-bit CD-quality digitization at 44 kHz and seamless connectivity with Windows and macOS operating systems. I was a guest on a podcast and my previous microphone was reported by an audio engineer. I ordered this and his immediate reaction to the sound was "Wow". In addition to a really good sound quality, it has a thoughtful and unique design. This is a one piece piece, the mic body slides out of the base and tucks into it when not in use. It comes with a zippered hard case…

Pros
  • Delightful
Cons
  • Legacy model
