It is a mic, that of which it does well enough in that department. The headphone jack right on the front is quite useful and handy, it outputs a bit on the loud side not going to lie, not necessarily a bad thing however, just something to keep in mind. It only has one mode (supercardioid) which is good, but this means that you have to be speaking rather directly in front of it to pick up your voice properly enough, otherwise It'll sound a bit off literally, otherwise it does a stellar job when you are speaking into it at the optimal angle. Overall for only barely over $50 this mic is a good steal imo, I'd recommend if you need something to start out with content creation or whatnot, I dare say it would be good enough for a podcast setting as well, just be sure to get a on mic pop filter cause if you have the input gain set above 85 (on Windows 10 anyhow), if you're loud enough close to the mic or blow into it, it will peak so be aware of that.

Bring the natural warmth and detail of a true professional studio condenser mic straight to your laptop. The Samson C01U Pro has a 19mm large diaphragm mic element that captures everything you throw at it — ideal for musicians, podcasters, streamers, content creators and gamers, the Samson C01U Pro delivers crisp, clean recordings that make it easy to get your point across.

awesome mic for discord and obs!
my headset hurts my ears from time to time and I sometimes just want to take my headset off and just hear everybody through my speakers, but without have to mute my mic. first off, easy plug and play! just from auto adjustments- this mic doesn't pick up any bg noise when I'm gaming or hardly hearing the mashing of my keyboard and mouse clicks. I've tested it plenty of times with the channel and they can automatically tell I got a new mic and even considered buying it themselves. I come out clear and if you're like me, who gets nervous about it picking up stomach growls or heavy wheezing, look no further because this is the mic bahahaha unless you're doing asmr because this mic can do that too! sarcastic, but maybe not. this mic has put my mind at ease. also, amazing mic for vocals. I've tested it out plenty of times singing and it's just a beautiful masterpiece. in love!

- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019Style: Microphone, SilverVerified Purchase
As soon as I plugged it in everyone told me I sound like a god, it's LITTERALY so good at recording sound that there has been no other alternative for me. I've been using this thing for years now and I've had little to no issue sound wise with it.. hoooowever, the stand it sits on, leaves more to be desired, the mic is so heavy it often looses balance and topples over more than a few times, you have to often take time to make sure it's well situated before you do whatever it is you are about to do on the computer. And God help you if you bang on the table out of frustration, this thing is heavy so if it lands say.. on your crotch like it did with me one fateful night, you'll more than likely need an ice pack lol!
