This mic works well. Nice clear recording for voice over work. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to get the Sonar LE to work. It doesn't appear to be compatible with my sound card. The mic works well with Audacity however.
Outstanding quality and value April 19, 2008

I couldn't be happier with this setup. I purchased it with a PS01 pop screen (Samson) and it's become my staple for WBT voice-over via Sony Audio Studio. The microphone offers an affordable, authentic representation of the voice.
An outstanding value at this price!

I am very happy with my new Samson microphone and it actually serves two purposes in our household. My wife uses it to record music and I use it for Web-based rapid eLearning. It's great to have such a versatile microphone that delivers such clean sound. Right out of the box, we were able to connect through our USB port and work with any audio software. The fit and finish makes this package a bargain, plus you have a couple of different choices for how you want to place your microphone onto it's included stand. I have not loaded the software that comes with it yet, because I have my own and it is not necessary to make this microphone function. Great job Samson!!!
Perfect for amateur recording and podcasting February 8, 2008

The Samson CO1U Recording/Podcasting Pak is perfect for me. I am trying to get into the voice over business and this equipment is the perfect place to start. Combined with the Sonar editing program and PS01 Popfilter (sold seperately) I believe it will be an invaluable asset to anyone wishing to record themselves for demos, projects, or just podcasting.
Great Value September 22, 2009

Just confirmed what most other reviews agree on: this is a high quality product for its price, while it's only con is the software it comes with, which is not only bad, but also a trial version.
The voice over we recorded as a test came out clean and detailed, although I'm sure we still have to fine tune placement and levels to get the best out of it.
