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: A big improvement from the cheap headset - I set this up yesterday and started streaming with this. The mic quality is simply miles ahead from my old headset. No more breathing sounds, pops, and nice clear sound. I am pretty soft spoken, and this mic had no issues. For the price, I cannot be happier. Upsides: - Great sounding mic for the price. However, do not expect a $13,000 tube mic experience. It does the job, and quite well. - I love the dual XLR and USB - Setup is a snap Now for the downsides: - The headphones are junk. I am guessing they help with incentive, but if you need good monitoring, get a decent headset. - It does not come with a storage case, and the box it came in is not very good. I am storing this in some towels until I get a proper storage case. - You will need a pop filter. - The stand is not all that great. Gladly, I have an old mic stand that works just fine. You might be well served to invest in one. Mainly because this mic picks up every sound on your desk. In other words, you get what you pay for. My main concern was getting a decent mic. All the other stuff was gravy, but the gravy was not all that great. The truth is, when you are going to record, you will be spending some money in stands, headsets, filters, and other gear. The set will probably hold you over a while if you need to buy things in increments. I recommend this! ## Features - Dynamic handheld microphone with XLR and USB-C - Plugs directly into any computer with a USB-C interface - Includes Tripod Desktop Stand, Tripod Extension, Mic Clip, Windscreen, USB-C Cable and XLR Cable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001R747SG | | Antenna Location | Podcasting | | Audible Noise | 148 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #824 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #6 in Multipurpose Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | SAMSON | | Built-In Media | Q2U USB-C Microphone | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | USB-C | | Connector Type | USB Type-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 5,592 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal | | External Testing Certification | não aplicável | | Frequency Range | 50Hz–15kHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00809164009665, 05053959417134 | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Item Dimensions | 10.4 x 8.3 x 6.9 inches | | Item Weight | 0.7 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Samson | | Mfr Part Number | SAQ2U | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone System | | Model Name | Q2U | | Model Number | SAM SAQ2U | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Podcasting | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 70 dB | | Special Feature | Stand | | UPC | 750408417640 809164009665 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Years | ## Product Details - **Brand:** SAMSON - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Connectivity Technology:** USB-C - **Connector Type:** USB Type-C - **Included Components:** Q2U USB-C Microphone - **Model Name:** Q2U - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Podcasting - **Special Feature:** Stand ## Images ![Q2U Dynamic USB-C/XLR Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OmG6409ML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## 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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality Mic — Just Remember You will Need a Computer and your Favorite Recording App *by C***E on December 2, 2025* The Samson Q2U Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone is a fantastic and versatile mic, especially for beginners or anyone building a home setup.
