Good quality audio and I like how small it is- easy to carry arround.
The one thing I don't enjoy is how you can't close all the legs while the mic is plugged in because the wire plugs in right behind where one would close.

Good microphone for its price(I purchased for $32). Drivers and soft is not required, just plug and play. I like the sound. Sometimes too sensitive, and catches extraneous sounds, but for me it is not a big deal. Pretty portable.

I bought this little mic in a crunch when I had to hurry preparation to do conferences and bible studies because of the Pandemic. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend so I bought this one. My participants have never complained about when they can hear me or not. And when I do video recordings of lessons, my voice is clear with very little background noise. I’m very satisfied and I got my money’s worth.
The only upgrade I have right now is to make the legs easily detachable for mounting on a desktop stand like I have in the picture.

Powerhouse of a mic, with a mute button for safety

Not that there is anything wrong with my webcam, but I wanted a separate desktop mic because the volume output of the one built into my webcam is a little soft. On the other hand, my webcam doesn't have a mute button. Granted, you can mute yourself on-screen in videoconferencing applications, but—the host can also unmute you!
This Samson mic addresses both of these concerns beautifully.
Take a look at the photo of the mic sitting next to my webcam (on a letter-sized sheet of paper). The Samson mic is much bigger (and also much heavier). No wonder it delivers, capturing and sending audio with the "oomph" I want for voice-involved applications like Zoom…or Babbel.
The LED above the mute button lets you know whether the mic is hot (blue) or muted (yellow). That way, you are 110% in control, without ever having to unplug anything.
The software seems versatile and user-friendly (see photo). I haven't even tried out everything about it, though. As long as the mic is hot, I like the sound to be unfiltered.

I needed a good USB mic because of the online musical work I have been doing. This mic was easy to set up, can be mounted on a microphone stand, has a long cord, and can accommodate an earphone jack. The pic I'm adding shows the mic on a mic boom and the earphones attached.

I needed a smaller sized portable microphone at a reasonable price. While I paid a bit more than initially budgeted, this mic was plug and play, had much better sound than my previous stick style microphone and it's compact size makes it very portable. The fold out legs work perfectly and give it a very stable base. The only issue has been when I went through airport security and TSA pulled my bag because they had never seen one before in the X-ray machine. Once I took it out of my bag and showed it to them - they all thought it was very cool and I was on my way.....

Top notch microphone for quick-and-dirty recording sessions. I can keep it in the backpack and if I need to touch up some recordings (I make corporate instructional videos) while i'm not in the office, it ready to go with a quick plug-in and a start-up.

I know there are better microphones, but for the price, it is a great microphone. I took off the fold out legs on it and stuck it on a fold out scissor arm stand made by Neewer. It picks up my voice better than headsets I had used before it and with the arm stand, I can just push it to the side when done with it or pull it out when I want to use it. Very clear audio recording without picking up background noise like my headsets would pick up.

I am quite pleased with this microphone. I bought it to use in zoom meetings and webinars, mainly because our webinar platform, BigMarker, recommended it as perhaps the best mic for the money and really good apart from the value. I think it looks really slick and when the legs fold up it can fit easily into a pocket if one doesn't expect to travel very far with it. An extra benefit for me, turning out to be even more valuable that zoominar work, is that it works really well with my voice recognition program, Dragon. Because decades of typing have caused carpal tunnel in both wrists and similar problems in all ten fingers, I use voice recognition extensively, but over-the-head or over-the-ear mics are not ideal. With this one, I just set it to one side of the keyboard and don't have to worry about having the earpiece and mic properly adjusted. In addition to more extended work with it, it makes looking at a list of emails that need a response less daunting.

Sweet & Simple

I find it very sweet& simple microphone for playing and recording . The microphone itself is very good for the price. I really like the quality and build of this item. The legs protect the casing when in this configuration.
To better organize my opinion of this product I will jot down few pros and cons
Pros:
-Sound quality and sensitivity. Sound is picked up very well up front and also captures background voices pretty well without having to speak up.
-Mute button is very handy which can be overlooked on a lot of other mics in this price range. The LED works well as an indicator .
Cons:
-Placement of the headphone 3.5mm jack seems bad if you need to plug in the device while in use as it is directly above the USB input on the back of the unit.

A great USB mic perfect for travel

Being a professional voice-over talent, I needed a mic while travelling overseas. Yes, there are great mics out there (Yeti, etc) but they're huge and take up a ton of space.
This is perhaps the most ingenious mic design I've ever seen. The legs fold in on the mic, making it look like a large caplet. It fits easily into just about any pocket, and doesn't weigh a lot.
It also comes with it's own carrying bag, which is really nice and protects the condenser when stowed properly.
Sound quality is really good for a mic this size. Granted, it's not a Rode, Sennheiser, or Neumann, but it does the trick in a pinch.
In fact, I recorded a few vocal lines for a client while in the car and it worked like a champ.
This is a real hidden gem. 5 Stars
