5Looks, sounds, feels good!  Jun 27, 2008 By PC "Sleepless in LA"
I don't have too much experience on this type of microphone to make extensive/professional review. I just started playing with Garageband/pod cast and use Skype and wanted to improve the sound input.
Compare to the other mini microphones I've used, this is HUGE and heavy, solidly built. Connection is easy, just plug in the USB and the Mac recognizes it. To my not so experienced ears, it sounds better than iSight, built-in mics, and the Sony mic that requires an AA battery and a pre-amp.
Well-made, good sound, easy to use. 5-star for the prize/package/performance.

5Podcasting Mic Mounted to Desk with Gooseneck  Nov 19, 2009 By Scott Showalter "purefusion"
I primarily use this mic for podcasts and training screencasts for clients and colleagues in the Web design/development line of work. I've mounted it with a gooseneck and flange mount with shock absorbing pad which easily takes place of more expensive shockmounts available for this mic.

My main review for this mic is located on the other Samson C03U Microphone product page (see link below), but I want to add here that this seller had listings on the other product page, which is the item without the CakeWalk Sonar software.

However, buying the version without the software, from Ace Photo Digital... they threw in the software anyway!

It's a superior product at an incredible value. It's well worth the investment. See my full review here:

4Great sounding mic.  May 31, 2010 By Kanadavos
I mostly bought this for voice chatting with friends and gaming, the sound quality of this mic is crystal clear from a distance away, so put on your favorite headphone and don't worry about mic adjustment in the middle of a match.
The only thing I didn't like, was the software that came with it, it's buggy and will crash your system, even the latest version of the software is buggy, so stick with the built in windows drivers and it'll work perfect.

5Just what the doctor ordered  Feb 14, 2008 By Scott "Booster"
I needed a USB microphone for use with my speech recognition software (Dragon Naturally Speaking), when I got my new PC the sound card was incompatible with Dragon, and their tech support told me to either get a new sound card, or use a USB microphone. I tried an inexpensive USB microphone from Logitech, but it resulted in many more errors that I had to go back and correct. Most annoyingly, when I switched the microphone on and off, apparently there was a surge or something that the software would interpret as a word. So, many of my sentences started or ended with an extraneous "and" or "the" or "that," all of which I had to go back and correct. I decided to upgrade the microphone rather than go the new sound card route, and ordered the Samson.

The Samson microphone has been great. Far fewer errors, works better than I hoped. The one thing I miss is that it has no on/off switch (couldn't determine that from the available information), so I have to switch it on and off with the Dragon software, so I don't get one of the main benefits I hoped for, but it works so well otherwise, I'm still happy.

Perhaps this seems like overkill for dictation software, but if you depend on that kind of software professionally, I think it's well worth it.
