Review: Great Quality Mic — Just Remember You will Need a Computer and your Favorite Recording App - The Samson Q2U Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone is a fantastic and versatile mic, especially for beginners or anyone building a home setup. I love that it offers both USB and XLR options, giving you flexibility whether you want simple plug-and-play or a more professional recording chain. The sound quality is clear, warm, and does a good job of minimizing background noise. This is a great option for podcasts, voiceovers, streaming, or basic music recording. It also feels solid and well-made. One thing to keep in mind, you do need to connect it to a computer, and you will need a recording app to use it properly. That’s not a downside for me, but it’s worth noting if you are expecting a standalone setup. Overall, it’s an excellent microphone with great value for the price. Highly recommended!
Review: Great Value DYNAMIC Microphone with USB and XLR Compatibility - I purchased this in late June 2021 and this review is being written in late May 2023. This microphone was recommended to me by a number of different reviewers, and I am very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend checking out the review of it by Podcastage on YouTube for a nice look into how it sounds with various testing methods. Some things to know: this is a dynamic microphone, so the source of sound needs to be close to it, and the polar pattern and sensitivity of it is such that you only really get clear, crisp audio speaking directly into the front/top of the microphone. It comes with a short tripod stand, but I find it awkward on my desk due to my USB drawing tablet. If not for that it would fit okay, but might still be a bit too low. However, the clamp on the stand (secured with a Phillips head screw) is quite loose on mine. It's a bit of a hassle to get it to stay put outside of its maximum range of motion, and is prone to drooping forwards or backwards depending on how it's positioned (i.e. wherever most of the downwards force is distributed relative to where the clamp is). Inserting the microphone into the stand is simple. USB and XLR connectivity make it extremely convenient for most people while also offering an opportunity to improve the quality alongside of your hardware. Some people cite issues with the device being recognized or detected on their PC. I have not experienced this, but I've heard it from two people that I know personally to some extent, so that's a fair warning. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the product, an incompatibility with the setup, or some other such thing, but I think it's a relevant issue to be concerned about. Honestly, outside of the flimsy stand, I don't really have any issues with this product. In fact, I think it's a superb purchase for anybody looking for a quality microphone so long as they understand what they're getting into with dynamic vs. condenser microphones and all of that jazz. I've had no issues with it that I can remember in the time since I've bought it, and I use it very regularly. I've even dropped it a few times and it still works perfectly fine with no cosmetic damage either. I will say though, if you're willing to go past ~$120.00 or so, your options open up a lot and I think you can get a better product dollar-for-dollar. At its price point though, I think this is an excellent product.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this microphone be a good fit for a multi host podcast?  Each host having one of these mics?**
A: These mics would work perfectly in a setting where each host has their own mic positioned within a foot of their mouth.  You'd also need a mixer with an XLR input for each host and ideally a headphone output for each host.  Something like a Rode Podcaster would be ideal. They're normally a bargain, but at Prime Day price these mics can't be beat.

**Q: How well does the microphone pick up a talking level voice from a short distance, say 2 feet?**
A: Dynamic mics are meant to be close to your mouth and limit some background noise. If you don’t want to worry about having to be up close, then you need a condenser mic. All mics sound best when you’re close, but condenser mics are a little more forgiving if you turn your head away, but they also pick up more background noise.

**Q: I need something that is compatible with both a Mac and an iPhone/iPad. Will this work with either or both?**
A: This is an old question but has yet to be answered completely so here goes. Yes, this microphone will work through USB with the macOS, Windows OS, most versions of Linux (that I know of), and will work with iOS (iPhone/iPad) devices that can use Apple's camera connection kit (30-pin or Lightning ports) as well as newer ones that use USB-C

**Q: can 2 mics being connected to 1 computer via USB?**
A: If you use a mixer you can. It's the only way I've been able to use two mics with a computer. There are relatively inexpensive mixers but you want to make sure you get the right cord for the mics. The thicker cord with the three prong connector. Also make sure the mixer can connect to your computer with USB. Not all of them do.
