Samson Go Mic Video Review
Such a professional video. I'm surprized you made it in 2011
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!
lel what mohak aora said was true I can't make a video like that now
+Lava_Slayer77 MCPE same
Very true.
+Steggy :)
The video and audio quality is very good for today's world
BUT THIS VIDEO WAS MADE 6 YEARS AGO!! WHAT?!?!
What a miracle
9, 9 years now
@@annisasabrina8259 10 years now

@@scrublord_val still working fine, great product. but there's a lot chaper and better alternative nowadays.
@@marhensa Really? I've had a look and can't really find any. I did have a cheap £10 amazon one that was bulky and died in a year after one drop, it also didn't sound very good. Just got one on Ebay (new) for £17.50. Seemed like an unbeatable deal compared to most. What others would you recommend?
it's 2022 and i still find this video very informative and useful...
Should i buy or lavaliere mic
Plz reply
@@manhwarecaped buy!
damn, you actually made this high quality video 9 years ago
The video content is like it is recorded with 2021 gadgets but it is video of 2011. Such a quality content.
"Case only fits the mic and not the hardware or USB cable"
Challenge accepted.
Jay P I seriously have the usb cable in the case with the mic 😂
I'd say this was the best review I've seen in ages. No bleating or moaning. No product snobbery; Just the facts, and done with a pro narration attitude and voice. Result!
Wow this mike is older than 9 years? Awesome! It's still much better than other cheap usb microphones!
I just bought this device from Walmart and I am very impressed. I work from home and connecting my headset to it along with this mic is an great addition to my office setup. Hell I may start my own podcast. who knows. Thanks for the review you just got a new subscriber.....
the moment when you mentioned justinTV I knew this video is must be old :P Really professional review!
watching this in 2021, 10 years later and the review is still pretty good, thank you
This review of the Samson Go Mic was very informative and because of that fact I am going to purchase it.
I'm looking at purchasing it, but I've got a few questions about it. What is the maximum width object that this mic can clip on to?
To put it another way, if I wanted to clip this onto the under side of my desk which is 3/4", would it clamp onto it?
Also secondary stupid idea I have: If I wanted to clip this to my shirt, could I?
And finally if I had this mic ontop of my monitor on the normal carteroid setting, could I configure the volume properly to pickup my voice which would be 2 feet away without picking up too much of my mechanical keyboard?
Thanks.
Hi, sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
1. I no longer have this mike as it was on loan from Samson for the review, but I remember it not being that wide of a gap, so I don't think this would work on your desk.
2. You technically could but considering the weight of the mic is so light, I'm sure you'd have an issue of it not staying in place when you have the cord and everything hooked up.
3. Blocking out mechanical keyboards is an issue for even mics that cost hundreds of dollars. While I wasn't able to test this on hand way back when, I'd bet that the sounds would show up. :(
Thanks very much for your reply! I figured it would pickup the keyboard but I was hoping that it would be incredibly quiet, and it is my understanding that it should be if I turn the mic to the -10db setting and put it directly beside my mouth.
Do you have any other mic suggestions or ideas? Thanks very much!
@BlackKnight156 My bad I was wrong. If you are going to use this mic for commentating you will want to use the -10db setting. You will need a pop filter to filter out plosives/wind from your voice/ and clipping because you have to be close to the mic while using the -10db setting. This mic is great by itself, but with a couple add ons it is fantastic and is a worthy competitor to the Blue Snowball Microphone. Hope this helped anyone who was looking to purchase this mic.
my chair is my pop filter
HAHAHAHAHAHHA
+Lee sin hahaha I had a friend that taped a sock to his mic.
+Solo Gaming I just put a thick winter sock around it
I think it's a fart.... filter...
One of the best hardware reviews that I have seen on youtube. Well shot, perfectly articulated points. You have a real talent for this sir.
Suggesttion for a better setting: Get your popfilter, clip it on your desk, then clip the GO MIC on your Popfilter
I saw it in another video, and it worked fine :)
wonderfully done, video is focussed on the product feature, clear audio, and no unnecessary distracting music. awesome
You asked "what's going on?" well let me tell you... I'm watching your video to see if I will push myself over the edge into buying this samson mic. Sounds like you're gonna give me a fair opinion and possibly help me go crazy and buy it. Well now I'm gonna go back to the video, which is on in the background. Thanks for asking
Such a fantastic video made in 2011. Proud of you, mate.. Keep it up!
When I replaced my monitor recently I found that the new slimline monitor (from Acer) was thin enough to clip the microphone on top. This was much more convenient than the old setup where I had the mic free-standing on top of a cloth duster on a pile of old cassette boxes next to the monitor, and had to lean over to speak into it!
The best Samson Go review I've seen by far, hello from 2021 lol
What is the best setting for vocals?
james bradley Probably the -10db, but play with it!
Sorry for the long delay in response, I hadn't seen this comment before. The problem with your suggestion is that if you recorded everything normally using cardoid, then lowered the gain -10db in post, while the background noise would go down, so would your voice too. The point of having the -10db setting when it's recorded is so you can get up close and personal with the mic so your voice is at a normal level and the background noise is lowered. 1/2
How far away do you have to be before the audio is lousy?
Just got my Go Mic a couple of days ago and just now playing with it. All the HUGE positive customer ratings and hurrah's sold me on it! I just recorded two feet away on the uni-directional setting and lowered the mic sensitivity some to shed some background noise and its GREAT! Your right on the -10db setting. It needs a pop filter which I will make myself on the cheap - a 3 to 4 inch pop filter should do the trick for such a small mic. This little dinky mic is a giant in quality.
I love how you have windows constantly running on you macbook
HEY 9 YEARS OLD
is this recorded with it?
Lesley De Keyser Yes, it is.
+Steggy which setting ?
-10 dB setting
+Steggy ty u very much
Steggy can this mic connect to sjcam or sports cam??
One of the best and complete reviews that I watched on YT. Congratulations and keep doing this!
GG
I have been looking for a small budget portable mic to try do some amateur fandubs with friends. It looks like my search has come to an end. Thanks for the review.
Just purchased this mic..Great buy for under 40.00..Playback is very clean on the first 2 settings but picks up a lot of atmosphere on the 3rd. I use more expensive mics and equipment in my home studio that I use for recording guitar tracks at but this little mic holds it's own.. Great for on the road..Still can't believe the quality of sound that I get on playback from this little mic.
He says in the video... Yes it is (on the -10db setting)
No way u actually commented on this vid lol
For a cheap pop filter on this mic, put a sock over a pencil holder (there were metal mesh ones at the dollar store not long ago), then just place it over the mic. I just sit the mic down in my padded mini-studio box (it sits on thick but soft foam and doesn't move, like it did on your hard/smooth desk top) and place the pencil holder over it. You can put as many socks over the pencil holder as you like until you get the sound or "filtering" that you want.
As someone who creates / narrates videos and also hosts a podcast, this was an outstanding review. You covered all of the bases really well. I have an Audio-Technica AT2020, but needed a mic that will pick up omin-directional sound for when I do face-to-face interviews. Thanks for making sure to cover that part, as it seems this mic will definitely do the trick!
you can use anything as a stand for this mic, the metal clip hold on tight to anything, i use a plastic paperwheith as a stand, and it works like a charm ;)
Best Review EVER! I've been thinking about this mic for a while and it only took me 9 minutes and 14 seconds to give me a definite yes. Thank you so much for going in depth!
The -10 db is also referred to as -10 Attenuation. Thanks for the review. I saw a review on another channel that just didn't sound professional. Yours hit on all cylinders. I'll be purchasing this mic for my macBook Pro after seeing this review. Thanks Steggy.
Me and a friend started to make a lego stop motion series and I was looking for mics for voice acting and watching this helped me know if this was worth the buy. Thanks for the review!
Cables will *not* tip the mike over if you just swing the mike over the base. Hello!
I hate when I type a search query in the comment field on my iPad. Excellent review.
As a first-time prospective voice microphone buyer I found that this review answered all my questions about it. The -10dB really sounds the best too, kinda surprising but that seems to be the reality anyhow. Might settle for this one and a mini tripod with or without puff adapter, I'll just consider maybe going slightly up the price ladder to the C01U.
Have you tested recording acoustic guitars with this thing? If so, how`d that turn out?
This review really helped me to find out whether or not this was the microphone I wanted. Thanks!
I’m a professional engineer, but I use this mic on my traveling laptop because it’s cute, fun, and useful for both speech AND conference room recordings. It’s a nifty unit for people who want to fashionably upgrade from their computer’s internal mic. It will not have a Howard Stern deep-voice studio sound, but it is nice and clear. I’m actually curious to see how it would do on a female Soprano voice, with a good pop filter on it. Could be an excellent start for a young girl who can sing in that range.
how long is the microphone usb cable?
@MLGSteggy yea I know what you mean. Looking forward to your thoughts on them.
This is a really good mic for the price, and super convenient. It's also pretty rock solid. One of the best in the price range for sure. It really does rival the sound of other more expensive entry level condensers.
Thank you so much. This is so helpful. Also thanks for speaking so fast for I find it much more engaging.
4:50 I spent 2 bucks on a windscreen. A pop filter might be a tad excessive for such a tiny mic.
yeah the bulk was recorded using the -10Db setting
Fantastic review. Really helped me out. Just realised after using this mic for years I have been using the wrong setting.
It also would have been interresting to hear, how the backround noise turns out while playing some audio from the laptop or speakers.
2/2 If you ended up trying to be up close to the mic during the cardoid setting, your voice would be too hot, which causes clipping. Now, with a more expensive microphone, you could have the best of both worlds if you had cardoid with a low pass filter on, but unfortunately it's a bit hard to get at the low price point and diminutive size that the samson go mic provides, so we have to make do with a little mcguyvering.
Is this as good as Blue Snowball :)
@TechyProductions101 I just got mine today and I have windows 7 and it works just fine. It is for both mac and pc
This is a solid review. Seems like the base needs to be heavier and needs a higher frictional coefficient. I wonder if the rubber grips on the bottom of the base are any good? If they slide like that, you might want to think about placing the base on some high-friction surface like a rubber mousepad or something similar...
Is really that this video was made in 2011? Wow... such a quality on the video and the audio 👏🏼👏🏼
NINE. YEARS. AGO.
Very informative! Choosing one for my tutorial videos.
@iMidNiteBoss They both seem to offer a lot of the same features, but the Snowball isn't nearly as portable as the Samson Mic. I'd have to review it to see if there were a noticeable increase in audio to compensate for the size, naw mean?
Great review.. but i wish you mentioned if it will be good for musicians, like vocals for creating a music album.
@MLGSteggy It actually will work with iPad given the fact you have the camera adapter kit.
I didn't realize it but the other side, the black side is a windscreen/pop filter. I already bought a pop filter and I didn't need to :(
go to the start menu then go to the audio settings it should be there
You can reduce the need for a pop filter by placing the mic 45 degrees from your mouth, might need to move it a little closer.
Fantastic review.
Packed with everything I wanted to know.
Only thing i'd ask is, what does it record onto? Clearly not SD card, do you need to have it connected via USB at all times?
Mentioning the method of recording would have been appreciated.
Also mentioning what it is better than and not as good as, would be great.
I bought mine for 39 bucks and I love the build quality and design plus the audio is pretty fair, def better then almost any high end head set, definitely a niche market!
Pity it doesn't work with a voice recorder as well. A 3.5mm jack input would open up the market for this mic considerably.
I just found this at Walmart a few hours ago!
So did I! Paid $29.97
You can cut a piece of sock or mitten and wrap it around as a filter
outstanding. love the "that's what she said" reference lol
CarnivorousManimal its not a reference its a joke
Noise gating would be the correct solution then. Going by what I heard from the samples in this video.
The only major complaint I have with this mic is the lack of a mute button. But other than that, for the price, this is very good mic!
Thanks for the review, I was trying to find a decent USB microphone since my new laptop has a hybrid plug-in device in which my old microphone isn't compatible with.
Could you use one of these for something like prank videos, where you need to hide the mic??
Thank you for this, i had this mic and had no idea how it worked.
Was recording game play and could hear my laptop and play station's fan.
Now i know how it works it will be a game changer.
Does the Samson go mic work with the PlayStation 4?
+PkSlayz It works and still has a little noise but not as much as before. Can easily use a programme like audacity to get rid of the rest.
oh
i wouldn't normally comment on a microphone review
but since i have, it must have been a great review
Awesome review, thank you! I'm a professional VO artist and was looking for a travel mic when in a pinch. This review was a godsend and "that's what she said!"
Can i record my voice from my PS3? Let's say i play a game and i want my voice too, does it work for that?
2011 video!!! Great video bro....I am wondering Samsong make a upgrade version of it: Has a windscreen + type C USB or at least micro USB + adjustable gain input...The portable design is great! Do you recomend any mic similar to samson Go Mic?
IF there aren't any sound in the background, will the mic create a litte buzzying or something?
What is the name of the apparatus that holds the microphone? 5:18
Very professional review. I got answers to all my questions. Thank you.
Thank you for the detailed review! I think I will be getting this one soon just in time for Christmas.
Hey, very nice review man. Very informative. I'm very surprised with the recording quality, I didn't think you were using it in this review!! I want something to record lectures in college, our class rooms aren't big but also lectures in big rooms or theaters where they use microphones. Will this cut it for me? Thanks.
Is it possible to turn the microphone off on the microphone itself?
the key of having such great quality video and audio in 2011 is.. using windows on macbook
Then why don't you just record close to the mic and have the gain settings lowered during the recording in Windows sound properties? Nothing like solving a problem that doesn't exist.
Can I use USB C adapter to connect it to my samsung?? I've seen blogs where they say it can connect to today's android with the usbc adapter
Does it was working with window 7 64 because some people were saying that it wasn't working...
i want to get this, but (noobish question impending) when i have it set up ect, will it replace the inbuild microphone on my laptop?
How far open does the clip go? I would need 1.5cm of width for my PC monitor.
Hi, i was wondering if you had to send back the samson purchase reg card, only just found it at the bottom of the box! PLEASE ANSWER AS IT IS IMPORTANT
you can just use a sock as a pop filter I do it and it works just fine
cool :D nice idea btw
Great review. But can i use this in my smartphone, like directly to the phone jack? Thank you
is there any way to clip this to your shirt or anything like that? I dont really want to buy a stand just for this small mic. I mean its good and all but a stand for that size can be hard to find.
Make one, its light and small enough for you to piece a few things together to make one.
would you recommend this or the Blue Snowball
@Casper's Designs I used it for rapping. Its nice
For my microphone that I have on an arm, a normal "proper" microphone, I have a dead cat on it. I got the microphone very cheap, and didn't have a normal pop filter for having it on an arm, and the dead cat works great, and it takes less space than a pop filter, and is lighter as it's just some fake fur. You can get some of this fur and just cut off enough to have it around this thing and that's it. And it looks better :P and tickles if you are too close.
hi! i just got mine today and seems not working. i'm using windows 7. what should i do? please reply. thanks
