this is perfect, did all what i wanted it to. its awesome.. one problem though, make sure ur software is compatible with this mic, cuz there are alot of issues with usb mics and softwared... like hearing audio and recording at the same time using an ASIO driver, as it can only address one at a time... so yah its a great mic does what it is meant it, but make sure ur software if compatible with a usb mic... second its mono, not stereo but i think thats said on the specs so no worries... still a great mic, just save ur sound project as stereo when finished


2 out of 5 stars It just didn't work for me.....   January 17, 2010

I took my time and researched the best mics for podcasting and unamiously settled on this great usb plug and play by samson...but for some reason it was riddled with issues. I thougt the sonar le 6 software that came with it would help...it was actually worse, shutting down sound altogether. I used their tech support who told me after all we did it must be a defective mic...I returned it and used this as an opportunity to upgrade to the co3u...no go,same problem.

I have windows vista,it wouldn't record when plugged into the back of the unit however, would record when plugged into the front. The sound quality was awful ...I called tech support in order to work out the static sound, by the time I was finished with tech support it wouldn't record at all!

I do have another unit that has windows xp, still awful sound and playback quality...is it possible that I had two defective mics in a row?

I scoured the web, listened to innumerable reviews, and it worked fine for them...sound quality was beautiful and rich. It just didn't work for me.

In any event one has already been returned and co3u is sitting by the door waiting for pick up.

I didnt buy this one, i bought the bundle with the stand and everything, but this is a great starting microphone. My Step Son uses it to record his vocals all the time, and didnt have a problem at all. Great Microphone!
