SAMSONQ2U Handheld Dynamic XLR/USB Microphone with Knox Gear Boom Arm, Shock Mount, Pop Filter Bundle

There is a reason every list of budget microphones has this at the top, it's just flawless. The sound quality is top notch, and build quality is spot on. It has the classic microphone shape, which makes it work in your hand, on a stand, or on your desk. With USB and XLR output it allows you to connect to your PC right away, or upgrade your setup with a mixer later using the XLR output.This package includes a stand, pop filter, and suspension system for the mic. For the money, they're nice. I will say the springs on the stand do make a little noise if you move it abruptly, so it'd keep it still while recording, but it's sturdy, and has a wide range of movement. The pop filter I've found isn't needed as the Samson Q2U includes a foam cover that works pretty well. It's nice the pop filter is included though.

High quality and easy set up

Everything I read about the product before purchase, has proved to be true!

This mic + stand has been part of my setup for 2 years now and while it's been good, it hasn't been great. If I had done a review one month in I would have given it 5 stars, but after some time I began to notice same bad things about the product.Pros:-All inclusive kit: I use the stand + microphone in my setup and it is no hassle at all-Quality: I receive compliments to how I sound and have others ask me what I use and I do recommend this product to them :)Cons:-Useless pop filter: this cheap pop filter isn't worth using as it provides no change in audio quality and adds an extra inconvenience to your setup.-The on/off button DOES NOT turn off the microphone: when it's "turned off" it lowers the signal to the mic so IT STILL TRANSMITS AUDIO. While in discord, sometimes if I have to mute quickly I flick the switch to off, but everyone can still hear you from the microphone, it'll just be noticeably quieter.-Cable issues: From time to time, about weekly now my microphone will begin to cut out every few syllables. This is fixed by unplugging and re plugging the microphone. Inconvenient.Overall, I still very much recommend this product. No product is without flaws and even when considering the useless pop filter and faulty off button, the microphone + stand value for the price is one of the best out there. This is a great beginner setup that can be upgraded over time.

Wasn't expecting much cuz I couldn't afford the real expensive ones, but I love it works great It's amazing for the price I paid definitely will not hesitate to buy again if I need another one or recommend to somebody.
