Strange But True

This is as good as all the positive reviews say it is. But I had a strange situation with the one I bought. All worked well the first two times I used it via USB. The third time the mic would not turn on. Eventually i discovered that the USB cable had stopped working. I knew because I had an old similar cable and the mic turned on immediately. I took it back to Adorama asking for a new cable. That baffled them. One part of the store could not tell another part of the store what to do. Ultimately a boss said "just give him a new mic." Silly. But that's what they did.

One mic works great, the other not at all :(

I ordered two of the Samson Q2U microphones. One worked perfectly from the first moment of use. The other has not worked at all. It turns on, and with difficulty I can get the computer to recognize it, but it will not record at all. I have tried it with both a PC and a Mac to make sure the problem wasn’t with my computer, but I’ve had the same issues no matter what. I’ve spent months reading different message boards and trying different things, hoping that this was resolvable but nothing works... seems to be a 50/50 chance whether the mic you receive will work.

Good mic , bad monitoring (after a few weeks)

Good quality mic, but after a few uses the monitoring functionality only outputs to the left side of the headphones. So audio passthrough is not great just coming from the one channel .

Amazing Microphone for both USB and XLR

Great Microphone, would recommend for anyone wanting great and simple sound quality. Although I have not used the XLR feature yet, I plan to in the future as I know it is higher quality from reviews I've seen online. The mute switch is really accessable, you can use the aux below to listen to music and talk in it (even listen to your voice to see whether or not it's working). You can fit all XLR, USB, and Aux into the mic and will use all of them correctly. The best part is the reduction of background noise. As someone who uses fans frequently, it's a breather to know while recording or talking on my mic, no one can hear my fan or AC or anything.

Seemingly Great microphone that I'm learning how to stream with. I don't know much about audio so I can't tell you there but this is the one a youtuber told me to get instead of a condenser. I chose this one because I prefer to not have to be too loud but I don't want it to pick up my environment.

First impressions with USB connection

Used it for a week. Overall I'm not too impressed with the quality for $69. I currently use it via a USB connection and it's not as clear as those who use it via XLR.

Flexibility, Quality build, and Good Sound

Wanted to try streaming with a Dynamic Microphone instead of my Blue Yeti and decided to try this one out. It works well both with XLR and USB and I've gotten positive feedback that my sound quality has improved. The build quality is good and I feel like it's picking up less background noises. Retiring my Blue Yeti in favor of this (I'll update this review if I run into any problem).

By LARRY S.

Sounds amazing and is so easy to use

Microphone that competes with the Best for Cheaper Price

By PHILLIP E.

Great microphone.

Before you embark on your next podcasting, live sound, or music recording project, consider the Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack with USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone by Samson. This versatile microphone seamlessly blends the convenience of digital and analog audio capture, making it a top choice for both home and studio recording, as well as on-stage performances.

The Q2U microphone is designed for easy setup and delivers superior sound quality, outperforming other microphones in its class. It comes complete with a mic clip, desktop tripod stand with an extension piece, windscreen, XLR cable, and USB cable, providing you with everything you need to start recording straight from the box.

This dynamic handheld microphone is perfect for podcasting, live sound, and music recording applications. It features both USB and XLR outputs, allowing you to connect to any Mac or PC device, or any mixer/PA system. The on/off switch controls both USB and XLR audio output, ensuring seamless operation.

The Q2U microphone offers a 1/8" stereo headphone output with level control for zero-latency monitoring, allowing you to monitor the audio you're capturing in real-time. The dual-color Power/Clip LED and plug-and-play functionality, requiring no driver installation, make this microphone user-friendly and easy to operate.

Compatible with most computer-based digital audio workstation software, the Q2U microphone is USB bus powered via Mac, PC, or iPad. It boasts a solid, die-cast construction with a heavy gauge mesh grille for durability.

The Q2U microphone delivers significantly improved audio over a headset or your computer's internal microphone. It can be connected directly to your computer or mobile device via USB, or plugged directly into a mixer or audio interface with an XLR cable. You can even utilize both connections simultaneously for recording live events or performances.

If you're planning to start a new podcast, the Q2U microphone is an excellent choice for creating a high-quality production studio on a budget. It delivers high-quality audio effortlessly with minimal setup, making it ideal for solo broadcasts or multi-person interviews.

The Q2U microphone is also a great choice for home recording. Its dynamic capsule is perfect for miking vocals, instruments, and amplifiers. The onboard, high-quality analog-to-digital converters provide excellent audio reproduction. The microphone's cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern picks up sound from in front of the mic, while rejecting unwanted sound from the rear and sides, minimizing ambient/room noise in your recordings.

For mobile podcasting or recording, the Q2U microphone can be used with iPhones and iPads via Apple's Lightning to USB Camera Adapter or Android devices via a Host OTG cable. Its rugged handheld body is perfect for capturing interviews at press conferences, live events, or on the street.

The Q2U Recording and Podcasting Pack also includes the Samson Sound Deck Noise Cancellation Software available as a paid download. This software uses Digital Noise Reduction algorithms to minimize recurring background noise from loud environments, ensuring only clean, natural sounding vocals are received by your audience.
