Samson Q2U Handheld Dynamic USB Microphone Recording and Podcasting Pack

Great value for the price if you are only looking to use the microphone for talking on discord/gaming like me. I couldn't justify at the time to pay for a high quality microphone when I was unemployed. I have been using this for almost 5 years already and I did run into some issues in terms of functionality once in a while, but overall it is a great entry microphone. I have a custom mechanical keyboard, but this microphone is perfect if you don't want it to pick up your typing on an open microphone (with no push to talk). I HIGHLY recommend buying an arm for this microphone though!

WOW! This mic is amazing. Literally plug and play, runs off laptop power (no external power required), and the audio quality is FANTASTIC compared to other offerings out there. I also own a $100 Blue Yeti mic and the sound quality is comparabale/the yeti is actually a little bit more annoying to use compared to this mic.Absolutely blown away by the quality for price (paid $70 for this one) -- you can set up filters on your end like compressor, noise suppression, EQ3 etc. to get the best bang for your buck, but this is seriously so high quality and such a good deal for the price.Not sure how it performs for singing but I am extremely satisfied for podcasting/gaming commentary/overall quality.Recently purchased a $26 Bluetooth lav mic set which had absolutely meh sound quality -- spending $44 more on this one was so worth it. The sound quality difference is just so insane. Not as portable as a lav but anywhere you can take your laptop you can take this mic and have wonderful quality audio wherever you need. Highly recommend, especially if you are considering shelling out more for the Yeti. Pick this one instead.

I used this for my podcast and I loved it. Mind you Im not a big time professional youtuber or social media person. Just do it for the fun and Im a small time creator at best but after looking at recommended microphones on youtube I came to this microphone. Glad I bought this one.

My first microphone I bought for my podcast and I loved it. Definitely good for the price and works well with my computer.

Great

Tried it on the weekend, and the sound was amazing. I actually sounded like a professional, at least to me.
