    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.

    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.

    A Powerful Little Gadget

    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.

    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'm the Regional Engineering Manager for almost 50 radio stations in the Midwest. With the Covid-19 virus on the loose we needed to have our DJs work from home but sound live and local. These Samson Meteor USB mics were PERFECT! They sound like our $350 mics in the studios, and it's what we bought everyone to use. Problem solved.

    I love this mic! From the design, the cool way that it folds up, and the functionality, it gets five stars. I use it for voice-overs, video production, and Skype. One really cool feature that I had with my Note 7 was the ability to connect it using the USB-C to USB A adapter that came with the phone. The clarity of recording was amazing and the phone had no problem handling. I'm sure that this would be the case with most other phones that can handle a USB adapter like this. It is not a Blu Yetti or Ice, but for the price, I'd say that it is surely up to par.

    I was very skeptical of this product because of the price but it is great! We tested the product while we had the tv on and my kids were in the room making noise and when we played the recording back it’s like we were in a different room!

    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 Good USB Microphone

    The Samson - Meteor USB microphone has eliminated a distracting problem I was having; a humming sound that emanated from my computer to other participants during zoom meetings. Since using this microphone the other participants say that my voice is coming through clearer as well. Also I really like the way this USB microphone looks on my desk. It is substantial and heavy for its size being made of metal. Thus far I have had no problems and can happily recommend.
