Go Mic

This is the cutest and smallest mic i’ve ever seen, and the sound is just amazing! Small but WOW!!! Very handy and clear sound, highly recommended!

I super love this mic! It works perfectly, super easy plug & play, I just still need to find out how to remove the background noise which is the reason why I bought it. Super compact just the case should have a space for the cord. Thank you seller!

Ich bin keine Tonexpertin, dies vorweg! Ich nutze es für Sprache, kann daher zu Musik- und Gesangsaufnahmen keine Wertung abgeben. Nun aber zur Wertung: Für den Preis ist dieses Produkt absolut empfehlenswert, der Klang müsste nicht mal nachbearbeitet werden, wenn man nicht gerade “Radio-pingelig“ ist. Ich verwende das Mikrofon für Voice - overs, Skype und dergleichen und bearbeite die Aufnahme mit Audacity. Es klingt auch auf voller Lautstärke ohne Nachbearbeitung gut und rauschfrei. Ich muss allerdings dazu sagen, dass ich einen Popschutz verwende. Alle 3 Aufnahme- Modi tun exakt was sie in der Beschreibung versprachen. Der Omni- Modus wurde von mir über Skype getestet. Meine Gesprächspartner hörten mich “super klar und deutlich, als würdest du vorm Mikro sitzen“, dabei stand ich zu Testzwecken 7 bis 10 Meter entfernt. Die anderen zwei Modi nutze ich aber öfter. Dazu kann ich nur sagen: top! Wen es allerdings stört, dass man manchmal seine Atmung hören kann, der könnte enttäuscht sein. Es kommt ja immer darauf an, für welche Zwecke man ein Mikrofon einsetzen möchte. Nichtsdestotrotz haben mich die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten dieses Gerätes beeindruckt. Es klingt in jedem Modus super, jeder Modus macht was er soll. Es ist transportabel, klein und kompakt. Man kann es aber auch auf einem Pop-schutz befestigen. Echte Radioqualität hat es für den Preis aber logischerweise nicht, dennoch klingt es für ungeübte Ohren wundervoll. Die Verarbeitung ist absolut anständig: alles besteht aus schwerem, stabilen Metall. Ich wundere mich jedesmal erneut, wie schwer dieses kleine Ding doch ist. Die Klemme ist so gut gebaut, die bekommt man so schnell nicht kaputt. Und wenn sie klemmt, klemmt sie bombenfest, fast schon zu fest. Man könnte damit sicherlich ein Gummibärchen komplett platt quetschen! Wenn man sich da drin den Finger einklemmt, leidet man Schmerzen! Ein Nachteil ist allerdings, dass sich das Mikro nicht abschalten lässt, daher baue ich alles immer neu auf und packe es anschließend wieder ein. Für überspontane Skype- Anrufe in letzter Sekunde ist es daher nichts. Ein zweiter Nachteil ist der, dass in das mitgelieferte Täschchen nur das Mikrofon, nicht aber das Kabel reingepasst. Man braucht daher eine extra Tasche bzw. Aufbewahrung für das gesamte Equipment. FAZIT: Ich glaube, dies ist nicht nur eines der besten Usb- Mikrofone in der Größe, sondern auch in der Preisklasse. Generell glaube ich, es ist eines der Besten in der Preisklasse, ob Usb oder nicht. Es ist sein Geld nicht nur wert, es ist fast schon billig, wenn man die Vielfältigkeit diesen winzigen Teils bedenkt. Noch dazu hat es auf dem Pc und dem Smartphone plug & play! Ich kann es absolut empfehlen, zumindest für Sprache!

UPDATE June 15: I've had this mic for over 3 years now and it's still going just as strong as the day I bought it. IF it ever breaks, I've already made up my mind to buy another just like it. Couldn't be happier with it. Original Review: I was sick of dealing with poor microphones from headsets and all the hubbub of headphone microphones and I simply do not trust logitech or many other big-brand companies to produce long-lasting quality microphones that stand alone on a desk. I then found the Samson Go Mic and thought it might be the best solution for my needs. I was definitely pleased to finally do some of my own testing and find out that it was all they said it is and more. My uses for this mic include voip applications like skype, mumble, ventrillo, and others, as well as for blog posts and even amateur voice recording. I also wanted something better than my laptop's mic to record lectures for class. Everything comes through crystal clear on this mic even at low volumes. For my voip applications, I actually let it sit behind my keyboard but directly in front of my screen. In normal cardioid mode, it picks up my voice perfectly. I can even whisper very quietly and it comes through on the other end loud and clear. I never have problems with people saying they cannot understand me no matter how low I'm talking. This is also great for me since I often like to chat late at night when my girlfriend sleeps in the next room. I'm no longer yelling and waking her up at night because I'm confident other people can hear me even with my mic so far away. For lectures, I switch to omni mode and it produces wonderful results. It's like having a third ear that records directly on to my computer. I also love how portable it is as I can just slip it into either my laptop bag or pocket without an issue at the end of class. The only complaint I might have is that I find the cord actually to be too long as I'm either plugging the usb cable into my keyboard's usb port or laptop's on my desk and the extra length is just wound up in a wad in its original twist-tie it came with, simply adding more bulk when it doesn't need to. Other people may need the extra length though, so this is somewhat of a non-issue. Lastly, the stand is a fairly heavy metal that has more than enough weight to hold the mic and is a pretty good mechanism for doing so. I simply wish the clip opened further to attach to bulkier monitors. Overall, I love this mic and I'm very happy I went with this one over one of the blue competitors I've been seeing on sale lately. Its cardioid mode is excellent and the omni mode is great for recording lectures and conversations alike. I just wish more people had this mic so they'd all be as easy to understand on my end as I am on theirs. I would recommend this mic to anyone who doesn't need super-high quality, studio grade equipment for professional recording as it does a great job of picking up voices and is very well-built and portable. Seriously: get this mic - it's more than worth the 40 clams you'll pay for it. UPDATE: Still loving this mic, and have yet to have many problems with it, except for maybe one or two, which I list below. The mic actually picks up on too much sometimes, so you have to be careful with it somewhat. Specifically, I had originally positioned this mic in front of my keyboard thinking it needed to be that close to me to pick up well. When I was on skype however typing on the keyboard, people would complain that my keyboard sounded like it was being pounded by the hammer of Thor. Easy fix though: I simply moved it just above my monitor and nobody has complained since. The only other thing with this mic I might complain about is that it picks up GSM interference somewhat badly. I've had my phone sitting on my desk in skype and gotten a call only to hear people on the other end screech in horror that my mic was beeping and buzzing out of control. I've found that using better shielded cable has helped (and attaching one of those little circular magnets to that as well) but the problem still somewhat persists sometimes. This is only a GSM problem though from what I understand, and so shouldn't affect people on verizon/sprint, and also fairly common in almost all mics of this size or larger. Still, these incidences are rare and correctable, but something to be conscience of. I would still like to say that this is the best mic I've ever used and am extremely happy with my purchase. I still only wish a few of my friends online had one!

this mic sounds better than my $120 mic and its cheap.

I'm so glad I purchased this microphone. I read some reviews that said building quality looked cheap, but I completely disagree. The microphone is heavier than I expected, and the materials are nice to the touch. The sound quality is good for my use (Zoom calls and recordings), I haven't had complaints of external noise bleeding through the microphone. I do use the cardioid setting only and have never used the other settings. The travel pouch is only for the microphone, not the cable. Cable is long enough. Just plug and play, no setup needed. Spending over $60 CAD seemed a little steep, but I think it's a good price for the overall quality of the mic. I don't regret buying it. Only complaint, product registration for Samson is only available in the US when you buy from Amazon.

Buen micrófono, lo uso para clases virtuales y juntas, muy buena compra
