Review: Best in Class - After hours of research, I reduced my search for a hybrid USB mic down to this and the current market favourite the Shure MV7, after listening to several raw recordings online I felt this had a much more natural and attractive sound signature and better noise performance using the onboard USB interface. I've been really impressed by the richness of the sound, the performance over USB, plosive handling, and off axis rejection. Only downside I've noticed is the internal shock mount does not deal with direct contact very well. I.e. it will reject a tap on the desk, but won't reject a tap on the boom arm or mic mount. As the mount is integral and self tightening, I don't believe this can be changed. This can easily be avoided by appropriately placing the boom arm before begining recording. Though it's a small price to pay for sound as good as this, at such a low price point. Very impressed.
Review: Absolutely Amazing Microphone! - This microphone is simply amazing. Really simple plug and play with the USB option. Can use with or without the pop filter. I use it with voicemeeter and applied a small gain decrease filter in OBS and it doesn't bang or clang when touched or moved. It looks amazing. The sound is clear and it doesn't pick up background noise. It is on the heavy side, I got the Rode mic arm and it holds it perfectly wherever I move it to. A cheap mic arm will sag. Perfect choice for me, and Samson themselves are really lovely! 🤩

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I bought this and it's making such loud desk bump noises or when i touch the boom arm does a shock mount remove it completely? since it alrdy has1?**
A: I find using Nvidia broadcast app with sound removal stops those noises. 

It would be worth getting another shock mount though if that doesn’t work for you. The microphone unscrews at the sides as far as I’m aware!

**Q: are the required lithium batteries included?**
A: No batteries are required for this mic.

**Q: Is this mic compatible with 5/8"-27 mic clip threading stand?**
A: Yes

**Q: Does the stand come with the mic or must it be purchased separately?**
A: Must be purchased separately.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb mic
*by M***R on 28 December 2022*

I love this mic. Bought it so I could use it with an iPad, and in all honesty, prefer the sound to the Shure SM7B. Certainly £ for £ its a better mic if you take your time to set it up. Dont get me wrong, the Shure is amazing (I have 2 of them) but for podcasts, honestly, you ant go wrong with this mic.
