I have had it for about two weeks. It works well with my laptop during zoom meeting sessions.
Tested it with Audacity and material for an audiobook. I am pleased with the sound. The cardiod pattern really mutes the noises in the room. Now I notice a clock ticking that I never noticed with the old mike. I had to move the clock. I had previously tried a cheap condenser mic(generic brand) and was not pleased with the sound, and lack of directionality.
Out of the box, the pickup end of the Samson mic was unscrewed from the handle when I received it. I gave it a twist to put it back together. It works fine. I removed a half star.
The foam muffler filter might be good for wind noise. The manual refers to it as a pop filter, but it does not do much for plosives. I may get a real screen pop filter. The rest of the accessory gear was good quality.
The desktop stand is surprisingly good at stopping sound pickup from the desktop where my laptop sits with fan running.
I would buy this product again.

My PC immediately recognised this mic. I use it for Zoom meetings.

Had this mic for several months. I bought this mic for my co-host's desk. I also wanted to use it on the computer. I have it hooked up with XLR to my board and also USB to my computer. Lily has a typical young female voice and the mic covers her voice well. I am pleased with the sound and she really likes how she sounds on the recordings. It was an good overall mic for us.

This Microphone is perfect !!! USB for the DAW and XLR for the mixing board. Sound quality is great.

Actually sounds great!
