Looks, sounds, feels good! June 27, 2008

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.
Just what the doctor ordered February 14, 2008
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.
