Samson Q2U Black Handheld Dynamic USB Microphone Bundle with Boom Arm and Pop Filter (3 Items)

It is low cost and very good quality. I use it for my podcasts. And it works just like it should.

A great package deal. Haven’t set it up yet but soon…

People were recently saying that they got the wrong item. Either there's crap QC at the company or I got lucky, but it came as expected. And of course it sounds great, we all know that. Great value, even without all the accessories included, especially since the mic itself is sold out right now. Reducing to 4 stars. Mic definitely picks up interference and isn't too shielded. There's a slight buzz to it when I have the lights on (goes away when it's off).

This mix is perfect for anything from Zoom calls to professional audio work. With good mic-technique (which you can read about in the included guide) this mix sounds way better than it should. I used it for about a year only through USB and it sounded great! I now use it with an interface and I couldn’t be happier. The included boom arm and pop filter aren’t anything fancy but they do a good job.

Exactly as expected, equipment performs wonderfully for it's price point.

I originally bought this mic to do recordings for a training course I was building. But along came the guest that never leaves, Covid-19, and now I use it for Zoom meetings every day. I have had several people tell me the voice clarity is so good they feel like I‘m in the room with them. Compared to the crappy microphone on other people’s laptop which picks up every noise in their house, this microphone sounds like I’m in a studio. That is impressive to clients and sets me apart from the crowd. So even if you have a good webcam, get a fantastic mic to go with it. You’ll be glad you did!

Exactly as expected

I was looking for the best cheap USB mic, so I read tons of reviews. This came up as one of the best, especially for vocal use. I haven't had any problems with it. For every application I have used it with (Mac system, Zoom, Audacity), it automatically appears as an option for sound input. I use it for Zoom meetings, Zoom performances, and instrument/vocal recording. Negatives: It comes with a narrow cardioid pattern only (which is great for isolating speaking); so if I'm trying to pick up both an instrument and my voice at the same time, I have to be careful to be in the pattern. The included swing arm is great, but I wish it was a little longer; my work desk is pretty deep and it barely reaches across. There is an inherent USB delay when recording to software that I didn't know about; in Audacity, you can compensate for it. This has saved me so much time.
