Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly, this microphone is absolutely fantastic. I came from gaming headsets and a Blue Snowball. The difference here is staggering. Being a dynamic mic, it does a great job of reducing background noise. After adding noise reduction in OBS it went from great to excellent. The clarity of your voice really shines through. Major upgrade over your standard mic. Having the option of either USB or XLR with this mic substantially raises the value. Why spend $100+ on a Blue Yeti, when you can buy this mic and a stand for less? It is more durable, requires less tweaking to get the sound you want, and in my opinion sounds better. On top of that, you can use an interface and make it sound even better! The value and upgrade path of this microphone is hard to beat. This is an outstanding microphone for whatever your needs may be. Not to mention it feels cool talking into an actual mic like you're a radio host.

Excellent microphone. As i was using this microphone i was recording for my trading program and i was speaking and type with my keyboard at the same time and after the recording i played back my whole recording and it did not picked up sounds of me typing on my keyboard and i was amazed on that. If you want to hear how the microphone really sound and the quality, watch my youtube video called “Marking up Charts for the New York session (Live New York Session) .

This is a great microphone for anyone on a budget but still wanting quality sound. I purchased an inexpensive adapter to connect it straight to my phone. I use this microphone for podcasting and to record music and it works very well for both. The included stand is very handy as well.

Pros: -Excellent sound quality via USB -Even more excellent sound quality via XLR -Great sound isolation focusing mainly on your voice -Comes with windscreen, mini tripod, boom arm/stand mic holder -quality USB cable that has ferrite on it to eliminate any unwanted audio noise -They even threw in some quality XLR cables to go with it Cons: -Probably the blandest looking mic I own -the pouch it comes with isn't exactly durable -mini tripod has plastic legs Overall: I wish I tried this mic out before getting my Shure MV7. Although the MV7 is a great mic (it's my main) you just get the mic, some cables and pamphlet. The Q2U is quite the bargain with everything that you get from it. Dare I say it sounds better than the Samson Q9U! I've tinkered with the Q2U via an audio interface and EQ settings in my DAW and OBS and I couldn't tell the difference between this and my Shure MV7. I think you can tweak mostly any mic to sound similar. Overall, for $70, this is a keeper. Definitely worth using if you are on the road and need a commuter mic.

First I bought this was for my piano recording tool. After that I use this for my computer sound input. The sound quality is super clean.

Actual amazing microphoje. It's extremely clear straight out of the box and only picks up where I want it to. i recommend getting a arm with it but it's worth it. Especially in great room conditions where the audio can be clean. The photo used is when i first received it.

Are you looking to move away from your headset microphone and get something that makes you sound crisp and better? This mic is the perfect entry way into the world of standalone microphones. Coming with the dual USB/XLR input really helped me get into the field, understand how they work and use the mic with USB and then supplement with the Wave XLR from Elgato, which took the mic to a whole new level with the XLR interface. The sound of the mic is immediate recognizeable if you have been using a headset mic your whole life. My friends told me even with raw audio sound I sounded like a "YouTuber", so of course they got hit with the ITS YA BOY real quick. The mic itself is sturdy, sounds very well for the price range it is in, has great longevity, comes with everything you need in the box. I will say, if you plan on using this mic, as with almost every standalone mic, invest into a shock mount and a mic arm. Using it on the stand on the desk you are gaming on is not advised. Overall bang for your buck, you will not find a better sounding mic out of the box than the Samson Q2U. I fully recommend this mic for anyone looking to get into the standalone mic field. I also recommend that you swap to XLR as soon as you can because the Gain adjustments on Windows 10 USB devices are janky at best. Hope this helps! I showed my images with a third party mic arm and a shock mount.

Prinarily used on the boom arm with the usb cable. Sound quality is amazing. For some reason my friends when I'm on calls say that I'm really quiet but I'm not sure if it's the mic or some other issue on my pc.

I got this mic to replace my blue yeti microphone. I’m currently using the usb part of this mic and I’m planning on buying the xlr interface/mixer. I’m really liking this mic it came with the xlr cable and everything for the price. I definitely recommend this even if your using usb.

I use this for discord and gaming sometimes FL studio and it works great for all! Immediate notice in quality from my old Blu snowball

Really really great Microphone for singing anything it sounds great I love it

Amazing starter mic! Wasnt worried about it being a bad buy either since the reviews are generally amazing.

Amazing sound quality and production. Great mic .

Price to performance is perfect. All you do is plug it in and turn it on. Great audio quality for streaming, Zoom, discord/Xbox chat etc.

Dynamic mix is awesome for podcasting. Amazed at the quality for the price point.

This microphone impressed me with its quality and durability, I would buy the same microphone again without a doubt!

I got this microphone as a replacement cor my headset mic. Immediately everybody in discord noticed a difference in the way i sound, and tell me my voice is crystal clear. Being able to use a USB port makes it incredibly simple, and the price makes it better as competing brands are often 2x, 3x or 4x the price, and dont sound all that different. Its small size makes it easy to fit anywhere. I want to start podcasting soon, and I will probably buy one or two more of these units to use.

This microphone was recommended to me by a professional podcasting company (they've helped many people launch podcasts, including my own, in addition to their own successful line of podcasts). It has great sound quality, is very flexible in use (either USB or XLR, can be easily used with Macintosh or Windows PCs, plus it has a headphone jack for direct monitoring) and the price is extremely reasonable. Because it is a more traditional microphone form factor, then it will work with a variety of mounts. From other reviews I've read, plus the recommendation from my podcasting company, you will not find a much better sound quality unless you are willing to spend hundreds of dollars and even then the difference will only be discernible to the pickiest of ears.

This is one of the best Dynamic usb microphones available! Especially for the price! I use this microphone while I do my live streams on facebook and twitch. I eventually bought one for my nephew as well since he wanted a more "professional" mic compared to gaming headset with their "built in" microphones. I even went from my Blue yeti (black edition) to this microphone because I love the way it picks up my voice. Also, it is super easy to use. All you have to do is plug it in and change some settings in the sound settings on the computer and you are good to go. Easy and really good to use. 5/5. I recommend to anyone that wants to stream or use for podcasts.

For the price, this is as good as it gets.. this mic has very good quality, easy to use, and once again the price is very reasonable. Perfect for anyone starting off that doesn’t want to spend 300 + on a mic.
