Superb quality, premium looking and all-round microphone
Let me start by saying I upgraded to the Rode NT-USB+ from a Blue Yeti microphone.Easy to setup. Software is not my personal favourite but works.I personally use this for streaming and gaming - often chatting with friends in discord who have all said it sounds amazing and very professional. Great background noise cancelling and can be quite easily adjusted using software if needed.Uses a USB Type-C cable connection so can even be connected to many newer android phones, PCs, laptops, and other devices with this connection port.Has a headphone jack which can be hooked up for feedback. Aside from this, not really many physical dials on the hardware itself, but lots of features built in that can be adjusted using the software.Love the premium quality pop filter which comes with it. It works well and gives it that professional studio look. It also comes with a great stand that works well and sits at a nice angle but I have mine on a boom arm mount out of personal preference so I can move and adjust it's positioning with easy. Easy to attach to boom arm, no problems there.Definitely worth the price - comparable to many more expensive microphones on the market. Good value for money in my opinion.

Tidy and robust
Very happy with my new USB Rode NT. I use it for singing; needed something compact and tidy that I could leave set up in a very small rehearsal space (shared with my bedroom!) and it fits the bill perfectly. Sound quality is excellent, although it's quite sensitive and can pick up extraneous noises occasionally. Feels very solid, and sits securely on shelf without needing an elaborate mic stand or similar. Recommend

Worth every penny
After a lot of research and watching of reviews, I settled on the Rode Nt-usb. For my needs it doesn’t fit perfectly, but I believe it could outshine the competition with few drawbacks.It’s plug and play with no need for software. The knobs on the side control the volume of the headphones and the fade in/out between the mic and the source. Unfortunately no mute and no knob for the gain but the mic has an automatic internal gain which seems to work quite well and you can download a program called MicMute and set a shortcut to act as mute toggle(I have mine set to a button on my mouse).I have had someone tell me that my voice went from acceptable to extremely loud all of a sudden, but that was a once off and could have been a software conflict with an audio program.The mic itself looks great with the included metal pop filter and fit together quite snuggly. Pop filter can pick up dings if you’re not careful. The mic has a quality, solid, heavy metal feel to it. The stand is a nice addition and handy if you don’t have a better alternative. I purchased the Racksoy arm from Amazon for about £10 and it holds the weight very well, only time will tell but it was a much cheaper alternative to the Rode arm. The included cable is 6 metres more than I would ever need but great to see that companies aren’t cheaping out.From watching other reviews I have found that the mic will fit the Rode Sm6 shockmount. You will lose access to the controls and the included pop filter but the sm6 comes with another pop filter.Left to do its thing the mic could pick up cars and birds chirping outside my house so it is quite sensitive and would definitely benefit from a reasonably quite environment.The headphone jack on the mic with headphones attached is quite wobbly but it doesn’t affect the audio in any way.There is an internal light to let you know the mic is on and it’s just bright enough to let you know, it’s not full beams on a car like other brands.Overall I’d have to give this microphone 5 stars. You can feel the quality and most importantly, hear it.Pros: Great sound Looks fantastic Included pop filter, stand, carry case and 6m cable 2 year extended warrantyCons: No mute(fixed with software) No gain control on mic(fixed with software) No list of compatible shockmounts available from Rode

Perfect for my basic setup, but beware of compatibility with shock mount
After looking at the accumulative cost of getting an XLR mic + interface etc, I decided to just get this USB mic after seeing the recommendations on YouTube, and I'm definitely happy with the result.Physically, everything is well constructed and feel solid and of high quality. I was a bit miffed by the excessively large packaging it came in though. Pretty sure it could be cut by 1/3 to a half with some sensible packaging design. The foam packing definitely kept the mic safe at an overkill level.I'm no audiophile so I can only say, I can notice the differences in sound quality vs my £30 desk mic. That said it could be a result of me spending a bit more time to set it up correctly software side, with reduced gain at the OS level.It's definitely better at reducing the noise level, again - perhaps due to my altered gain settings. That said it definitely still picks up my mouse and keyboard sounds, which isn't really that big of a problem for me.I also think it's more sensitive to the S's than my old mic, but this could be a direct result of having to be physically closer to the mic due to the reduced gain.At least the bundled pop filter works a charm with the Pah sounds!I was surprised by how useful the zero latency monitoring is, with access to the desktop audio at the same time. This allows me to hear myself clearly whilst playing games at the same time, without the short delay that I get from OBS, making it super hard to continue speaking.The downside is this is pre-mixed monitoring, so I can't hear my compressor, limiter and EQ at work. To be fair, as someone who's just starting out with streaming, I don't think it's a deal breaker. Any hardware solution would probably cost as much minus the mic - so it ends up being a nice bonus for me.One criticism I have is its compatibility with the PSM1 shock mount - which I'd expected full compatibility with. The pop filter's attachment to the base of the mic is at an angle, which means it can't go on the shock mount without turning the mic at an angle. Even after that, the filter ends up being pressed against one of the shock mount's supports, which could introduce scratches if I accidentally move / twist the filter.The bigger problem is that the shock mount limits access to the monitoring dials, where the dials are blocked by the shock mount's metal. If the filter was symmetrically attached and goes further out from the mic - it would solve this problem entirely.I suspect the same issue would occur with any shock mounts of similar designs, so the limitation is more strictly to the mic's design. Sadly I don't see any obvious fixes besides elongating the entire microphone to raise the dials.I've not used the table stand that came with the mic, which is a comparatively cheap bit of plastic against the quality metal of the mic. It seems silly that the stand took up as much room in the box as the mic, when I've got much better constructed fold-able metal ones from my cheap mic.All in all I'm very happy with my purchase as someone just starting out with streaming, and can't afford all the bells and whistles of XLR mics.

Rode NT-USB+ Microphone à condensateur USB Noir
Je l'ai utilisé quelques fois jusqu'à maintenant et je peux affirmer que je suis extrêmement satisfait. Je ne suis pas un professionnel en studio, mais pour mes besoins domestiques et mes exigences assez pointues (quand même/j'ai l'oreille fine), je peux affirmer être extrêmement satisfait. Et puis, Rode a une réputation... Je recommande vivement.

Great for voice overs!
I love the sound that this mic produces. I have other mics, but this is my favorite. It's easy to use and works well with my headphones.

Easy to use, great sound
Love this plug-and-play mic; I leave it set up in our music room to record and listen to my practice sessions. The mic is a quality, heavy-duty product that seems to be well made. Although the stand is plastic it functions just fine. While it's not the most cheap mic of it's kind, the quality is definitely worth it. Sound is crisp and clear and the mic does a great job of capturing the sound without clipping. Volume and record level are adjustable, and monitoring while recording is a cool feature. I installed the Rode Reporter app on my phone and use it regularly. Not sure why the online ratings in Google Play Store are not great; the app was easy to set up, and using it to record is as easy as plugging the mic into my phone and hitting the record button in the app. The app creates good quality files for immediate playback. Have not tried transferring and editing files yet.

Love it
It’s great. Sounds professional and has a small footprint. Wish it had an onboard nut button but otherwise it’s perfect.
