What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Samson Q2U USB and XLR Microphone Recording Pack
- It has some weight to it, very sturdy and professional
- Stand is an ideal height on my desk however I had to tighten the mic handle as the mic would cause the handle to tilt downwards, due to weight.
- Solid well-made with nice sound for a USB/XLR microphone and with comfortable lightweight headphones.
- Sounds great, Stand is small and won't work with USB 3.0. Otherwise the quality seems pretty awesome.
- Very high quality build. Substantial qualitative research into the durability of Microphone.

What customers say about "Features"
Samson Q2U USB and XLR Microphone Recording Pack
- This mic will not pickup background noises, it has to be very close to your mouth the pick up the sound u can put the gain up on a mixer and pick more sound up of course but this mic is for you voice and your voice alone
- Good for what it is - I like the dual XLR and USB connections and it is very easy to set up and use.
- I really love the microphone, it's even got a remote volume control and built in USB and headphone out.
- Great products for my vocal needs I love it. Quality of voice record is very good.I easy can plug it in to my comp and singing and listen in same time through headphones.
- Overall I'm happy with this new mic. The only issues come from the fact that I didn't even receive a pair of the HP20 headphones with my order, meaning I had to get a discount.
- Excellent microphone, but the earphones might as well just go straight in the bin.
Blue Yeti USB Condenser Microphone
- It’s a very sensitive microphone, it picks up a lot of low and mid frequencies.
- It also features a 3.5mm standard audio jack port which allows you to plug in earphones to get real time monitoring. I really like it.
