Usb Headphones With Mic Reviews

Ok so I was invited to do a podcast with my associate for our website DroneVibes.com and I needed a good mic. He recommended the Blue Yeti USB Microphone to me. Not taking his advice solely at face value without a little research first to see if I could maybe get something better I started reading all the reviews on the Yeti microphones and others. All roads seemed to lead here to the Yeti mic though with so many positive reviews. I did some more research on Blue's website and around the web. After hours of research it came down to exactly what he recommended which is this microphone! I could have saved hours of time just listening to him but what fun would that be. The chase is half the fun after all, right? So I am using this microphone for podcasting as well as phone calls over the PC. The quality is great. The mic is sensitive enough to pickup the smallest of sounds so make sure you have a quiet environment depending on what your use case is of course. I am using an Auphonix Pop filter with the mic which seems to work well. Other than that it is stock setup. The setup and use is a piece of cake. Plug into the USB and off you go. For those who have no idea about this mic you have just a few things you can interact with. 1) Adjustment of the mic angle. 2) Mute button 3) Directional sensitivity settings 4) Volume knob 5) There is an output for a headset where you can monitor the audio. You can also use this to listen to music or any other sound off your PC (I listen to music via some Audio Technica headphones hooked up to the Yeti Mic That's about it. The construction is first class on this thing. It looks great on the the desk. That's about it. A great quality Microphone. Thanks B&H!

Ordinarily, I don't write reviews because I am too lazy. I must add my comments here because this mic has an advantage which is overlooked by others. I owe this to Samson for making a great product. The Samson Meteor USB mic has outstanding sound for this price and works flawlessly. Other reviews mentioned this point. This mic, however, can save your broadcast for a reason that you might not anticipate. As it turns out, the software that matches this mic to your computer is fabulous. It saved me when my audio settings on my device manage were not set correctly for a typical plugin mic to work properly with the built-in mic jack. If you are using another mic that connects to your mic jack, and your computer settings are incorrect, just plug in the Samson Meteor and it will flawlessly override everything and work through the USB of your computer. It is a life-saver when you have to quickly do a live broadcast and your other mics are not working properly. I love it.

Works great for ethernet, a USB-C lapel mic, and a webcam. I wish it had an audio port for headphones, but I guess it doesn't need to have everything for it's price. The build quality is a lot higher than I expected, very sturdy. The USB-C male cable (to connect to computer) is a bit short, but that likely improve durability.

Excellent mic and headphones for the money

I liked the reviews, and the features of this Mic, so I thought I would try it, If not. then B&H has great customer return service, Well I used it on my Sony RX-10 MII, of which is a great camera, but weak on audio, especially on board Mic's. So, I did a simple 4-part test, I shot some video, Inside, & Outside with the RX-10's on board mic, and then with the Azden SMX-30. Like night & day! Better signal strength, richer sound, pretty well balanced, and when set to mono, it works just like a smaller shotgun mic, and the foam wind cheater was sufficient, but not perfect. I'm very happy with this purchase. Highly recommend it!

Great plug and play USB mic

Really happily surprised by the quality of this USB mic.

An Amazing USB MIC just plug and start record!

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

I love this mic. My only complaint is that it uses the old style micro usb, which is flimsy. They should have gone with the USB-C instead.
