 "great speaker for the iphone" 2010-04-16
By Charles (Coral Gables, Florida)
These Samson StudioDock 3i speakers are great. I use them in the living room, and do not use them w/ a computer - stricly w/ my iphone 3Gs. Sound quality is superb; crisp, good bass and capable of being very loud. I am not a "techie", but for the $91.66 range this is an exceptional product. - Phone will ring through on the speakers when someone calls, while the iphone is docked and playing music, so that's also great. They even seem to charge the iphone sometimes, but don't expect this.

 "Great speakers; not to be confused with monitors though" 2010-02-10
By Matthew Taylor (el paso, TX USA)
I use these sometimes as an iPod dock but mainly as remote speakers for airtunes. These speakers have lots of bass for their size and the sound quality is very good. They remind me a lot of the old non-powered Minimus speakers from Radio Shack.



However, don't think you can really use them as studio monitors. The low frequencies are there, but are not accurate. The mids are accentuated on the low end by the porting. On the plus side, these have a very good stereo image -- unusual for designs where the amp is in one speaker only. Things mixed to the middle appear to exist in between the speakers, rather than off to one side.



If you need cheap but quality powered monitors, I can recommend the Alesis 520s.



If you need an iPod dock that sounds probably as good as the $200 model from Bose, and certainly better than the similarly priced junk at the discount retailers, look no further.

 "Great speakers for a great price" 2010-01-25
By Jay Janssen
Got these a few weeks ago and I'm pretty happy with them.

Pros:

- Great sound, very full, good bass response for smallish speakers.

- USB integrates perfectly with my "docked" macbook... they plug into my usb hub, I plug my usb hub into my computer when at my desk. OSX auto-switches to use them as the main output (except for sound alerts, they still go out my laptop speakers.

- independent volume control on the speakers with *tons* of headroom. I run these speakers at about the 9 o'clock volume level. (they go up to 5 o'clock).



Cons:

- Isn't "compatible" with iphone... iphone causes the standard, annoying cell noise in the speakers when docked. Iphone complains that it isn't compatible with the device (I haven't found anything "compatible" with the iphone 3GS besides Apple's charger anyway). I blame the iphone /apple for this more than the speakers.

- Dock for my iphone didn't work well... I had trouble getting it to make a connection with my iphone unless I docked it and pulled the iphone forward, which didn't seem very good. Maybe fine for other ipods. Because of the speaker noise, I prefer not to dock my iphone anyway, so I'd be happy with these speakers w/o the dock.

- Power switch for speaker is on the back of the right speaker. It's a bit inconvenient to reach over and turn it off/on. Turning it off/on while plugged into USB will wake up your sleeping macbook.

 "Perfect for my subtitling project" 2010-01-24
By Arboleda Crisostomo (Honolulu, Hawaii)
I needed a set of speakers that would give me clear dialogs or narrations on videos for my subtitling project. These speakers made me hear subtle sounds that I previously couldn't hear in my videos and the voices of the characters and narrations became easy to understand.



It's true what they say that there's not much bass but, for my project, I don't need it. When listening to music occasionally, I simply adjust winamp's equalizer to boost the bass, while the highs and mids remain brilliant.



I also have a set of Altec 2.1 active speakers with subwoofer,but for my subtitling project, the Studiodock serves me better.

 "Good value but no Airport Express functionality and lacking bass" 2010-01-22
By Hereme (Seattle, WA USA)
The StudioDock 3i is a nice, inexpensive option for sturdy desktop speakers that you can plug your iPod or iPhone directly into (nice feature). They are also fairly powerful and come with a USB wire to connect your computer or laptop into.



The sound is a bit tinny and the bass is less than advertised and expected. But there is a subwoofer input; you just need to find and add your own. If you're an audiophile and enjoy music with strong bass, you may want to find another option. And strong, complex synth sounds don't come through fully. I think I'll be a lot happier once a subwoofer is added because the highs and midranges do seem decent.



These were purchased to replace a Bose iPod dock. The sound was much better on the Bose; I just didn't think it'd be as dramatic as it is.



And despite all the features, this product is not set up to work with Airport Express. So,you will not be able to play your iTunes library wirelessly. This was a big disappointment.



After comparing some 15 different desktop speaker options between ($80-$200), I thought these would be perfect. In retrospect, the M-Audio speakers may have been worth the extra money for better sound and bass.

 "Samson SPO$ Shockmount for G Track USB Mic" 2009-11-09
By D. G. Elliott
The SP04 Shockmount for the G Track USB Mic is well constructed and simple to use. The user should, however, be cautious when connecting the Samson G Track Mic to the Shockmount because the inner sleeve of the microphone, if not tight, can easily come out when you try to unscrew the Shockmount housing connection. Although there are no threads that would logically allow this to happen, it can happen because the Mic and the Shockmount are so "snug" fitting! When you try to unscrew the mic, the inner sleeve of the mic becomes attached to the shock mount and comes out with the shockmount! All in all this is a very nicely manufactured shockmount. It is very functional and looks great with the Samson G Track Mic.

 "Four stars overall- five if you consider price." 2010-02-10
By grady nubbins (Middle of the United States)
My son's friend is always buying different gadgets and devices and bringing them over to try them out/show them off. He had a pair of these and was talking about how good they were. I have a pair of Audio Technica ATHM40FS Precision Studio Headphones, some old Koss Pro-4AA Studio Quality Headphones, some Sony MDR-V900HD Studio Monitor Type Headphones HD Driver, some Koss Hi Fi Stereophone with Volume Maximum Durability (158445), and a few others. I'm not going to tell you that these were as good as the A/Ts or the Sonys. I will tell you that I was impressed enough with them to buy some and some for a friend as well. After a few days of break in, they have proven themselves to be comfortable solid performers. I am more than satisfied with the quality for the price.

 "Not so great..." 2009-12-30
By TP
These headphones aren't that great...



I received this headset as a christmas gift for my music making. I was pretty excited, as I had been listening to my Korg R3 synth through an amp and a computer speaker system.



Well, it wasn't as great as I had hoped. For starters, the headphones feel awkward on your head. They feel like they were made for a giant; the headset always rests loose on your heard. Also, the wire into the headphones is on your left side. This feels fairly unusual, and most jacks are positioned so that headphones can be plugged in from the right. I figured that it's just a slight annoyance I'd have to get over, at least if the sound is good what will it matter?



That lead's into the second problem. These are very disappointing in sound quality. It is very hard to distinguish between various levels of audio; basses and trebles blend in together too well. This makes mixing terrible. Also, lower frequencies are very, very dull- it's almost impossible to tell when they are and aren't playing. In addition, these have no included volume control (which isn't too much of a problem) but are also not very loud. Plugged directly into my R3 keyboard (which has a built in preamp) the sound is dull and not loud, even at max output. Plug the R3 max volume into my Fast Track sound card, set its output to max and plug in the headset- still not loud enough. Do a chain of R3 -> Sound Card -> PC Speakers (3 preamps!) -> Headset, and the volume is bearable. Finally, try listening to a composition your working on or another song; this headset dulls the sound so much that the music feels lifeless.



I am very disappointed with this headset... my $10 logitech speakers and $15 ear bud headphones both beat these for quality. I would've hoped that a product marketed for studio mixing would've had a better quality than consumer targeted products.



Than only positive I can give it is that rather than buzzing at frequencies it has trouble playing, it will just dull it out...

 "Surprisingly Sensible" 2009-10-20
By Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)
Not only are these the most handsomely packaged headphones you're likely to find (gold lettering proclaiming: "Samson Stereo Reference Headphones Dynamic Output Design"; "for Studio Reference"; "Accurate Monitoring"; "Maximum Isolation and Extended Low Frequency Response with Close Ear Design"--all this on a transparent box displaying the phones as well as two gold-plated stereo plugs--full-sized and mini), but once you put them on, they pretty much live up to the production values and hype. One thing's certain: you'll never find anything better at this price. I considered this a "justified purchase," since I work in a studio, where I do public announcing and music broadcasting.



For the record, these compare favorably to the studio's Sony MDR-7506s, even though the latter are about six times the price. The bass is "extended," to be sure, but never heavy, boomy or muddy. With all controls on the amp or sound source set "flat," the treble is a bit soft for my tastes, but nothing that a minor EQ adjustment can't fix. The all-important middle-range is present, definitive, clear--for both vocals (spoken and sung) and instrumentals. Perhaps compared to the studio Sony phones, these are a trifle bigger, a little bit heavier and slightly more loose-fitting but, as advertised, they're constructed with a "closed-ear design providing maximum isolation." Away from the studio I prefer my Sennheiser PX-100s or Koss Portapros, but either of these is too open and lightweight for working close to a microphone. Feedback becomes a problem shortly into a broadcast. Although I'm a fan (apparently, one of the few) of the Koss UR-40s (about twice the cost of the Samsons), the Samson CH700s certainly appear to be better made--rugged, strong and, most likely, more durable than the UR-40s (the Koss webbing broke loose during the first several months of use). Moreover, the Samson CH700s have a generous and relatively thick cable (expecially compared to the thin, short wire of the Koss UR-40s) PLUS single-cord attachment (usually found only on costly phones yet practically mandatory for the sort of scrambling I do while broadcasting and operating as many as 4 decks at the same time).



One more A-B comparison: the Sennheiser Evolution EH-150 full-sized headphones vs. these Samson CH700s. Initially, the EH-150s seemed large to me (especially after the PX-100s), but alongside the Samson CH700s they appear relatively trim. In other words, some individuals may be turned off by the size of the Samson phones; others, most likely, will be drawn to them because of their solid, engulfing appearance. (My guess is that they would not be a big hit with many female listeners or, for that matter, individuals with heads any narrower than mine). As for the sound, the Sennheiser EH-150s are likely to impress many young listeners--instantly. The bass is not merely "extended": it's prominent, and it's punching. For that reason alone, some listeners may judge them worth the price (which is more than twice that of the Samson CH700s). Not this listener, however. The bass from the Samsons is far more "natural," clearly-defined, and pleasing over the long stretch (it doesn't take long for the bass from the Sennheiser EH-150s to wear out its welcome, becoming muddy and uninteresting--at least to some experienced ears).



In short, Samson is a good name and can only get better, thanks to the quality and value of products like the CH700s. The company has practically cornered the market with the world's most popular (not to mention effective and affordable) personal digital audio recorder (Zoom H2), and they've impressed the most fastidious critics with a slightly more sophisticated (and expensive) successor (Zoom H4n). They're currently taking a lot of flak for their latest product, the Zoom Q3 (basically a Flip videocam attached to an H2). They goofed big-time by completely (and inexplicably) ignoring the public's current obsession with "HD video," but look for that oversight to be corrected in short order.



Heck, if you decide not to purchase these phones, you could do far worse than invest the money in a share or two of the company's stock.

This is an absolutely amazing purchase at such a low price. I've been using it for three weeks now, and the sound is super! I use it while I play my keyboard, and from high to low notes it's just a beautiful experience. I sometimes even forget that I am hearing through headphones at all, the sound is so alive and natural and vibrant.

 "Podcasting Mic Mounted to Desk with Gooseneck" 2009-11-19
By S. Showalter (Ohio, USA)
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:

 "The wrong microphone was sent" 2008-12-16
By Catherine R. Walker
I ordered two of the C03UCW microphones and I was sent two of the C01U's - it is a different microphone. I wanted the one shown here.



The vendor offered to refund my money and said that it was a mistake made by Amazon. I needed the microphones for a project and did not have time to return them. They worked fine - but they were not the ones I ordered. I still want the other microphones.



Amazon - how can you make this one right?

 "Looks, sounds, feels good!" 2008-06-27
By PC (Los Angeles, CA United States)
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" 2008-02-14
By Scott (Mount Kisco, NY USA)
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.

Record studio quality audio directly into your computer’s USB input and digital recording software with the Samson C01U! Some very clever Samson engineers managed to build the entire USB audio interface into the barrel of their best selling C01 Studio Condenser microphone. For the first time ever, musicians who record music on computers have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances. Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio condenser microphone that can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable (includes 10 foot cable). The C01U condenser microphone features a 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragm with a cardioid pick up pattern ensuring pristine studio quality recordings. The C01U works perfectly on any computer, Mac or PC, and with any DAW software program. It immediately solves a huge problem for users of many laptops, many of which have no other input method for audio devices. It’s a must for any musician on the road or in the project studio, but the C01U is going to offer solutions to more than just musicians. The mic opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio—from Podcasters, journalists, students, and business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations. The C01U comes bundled with Cakewalk Sonar LE, their vastly popular digital audio workstation software, giving users additional power and versatility to digitally record audio in any situation. Also available as a package which comes with a desktop mic stand, mic clip, shockmount and USB cable in a durable, lightweight aluminum case.

 "Five star baby" 2010-02-21
By B. Davis (The Caribbean)
this is perfect, did all what i wanted it to. its awesome.. one problem though, make sure ur software is compatible with this mic, cuz there are alot of issues with usb mics and softwared... like hearing audio and recording at the same time using an ASIO driver, as it can only address one at a time... so yah its a great mic does what it is meant it, but make sure ur software if compatible with a usb mic... second its mono, not stereo but i think thats said on the specs so no worries... still a great mic, just save ur sound project as stereo when finished

 "It just didn't work for me....." 2010-01-17
By Just me...
I took my time and researched the best mics for podcasting and unamiously settled on this great usb plug and play by samson...but for some reason it was riddled with issues. I thougt the sonar le 6 software that came with it would help...it was actually worse, shutting down sound altogether. I used their tech support who told me after all we did it must be a defective mic...I returned it and used this as an opportunity to upgrade to the co3u...no go,same problem.



I have windows vista,it wouldn't record when plugged into the back of the unit however, would record when plugged into the front. The sound quality was awful ...I called tech support in order to work out the static sound, by the time I was finished with tech support it wouldn't record at all!



I do have another unit that has windows xp, still awful sound and playback quality...is it possible that I had two defective mics in a row?



I scoured the web, listened to innumerable reviews, and it worked fine for them...sound quality was beautiful and rich. It just didn't work for me.



In any event one has already been returned and co3u is sitting by the door waiting for pick up.

 "GREAT!" 2009-12-28
By Stephen A. Amberg
I didnt buy this one, i bought the bundle with the stand and everything, but this is a great starting microphone. My Step Son uses it to record his vocals all the time, and didnt have a problem at all. Great Microphone!

 "A great product!" 2009-09-30
By J. MILLER (santa cruz, ca)
The microphone works great! It got a little banged up in shipping, however... it seems that the mic stand base shifted out of it's place in the case (see picture)... it must of bounced around and hit the mic and dented it a little bit, but doesn't affect the performance of the mic. It's a solid, pro-quality microphone and very easy to hookup via the usb connection to your PC. I'm not fond of the recording software it comes with... there are better ones out there.

 "Great Product and highly recommend" 2010-02-19
By Ric Joyner (M adison, WI)
I am the CEO of company (6 million in sales)and I have a winter office in florida. Thus I need to spend time on the phone and doing webinar connections. This product enhances my skype calls and allows me to tape the conversations and get great quality. Very impressive. I can also take it on the road is a size smaller than a pack of cards. I have used several samson mics for podcasts and all are pretty good. This one is exceptional for its size. email me if you want to know if I am real rj@eflexgroup.com

 "Outstanding Product" 2010-02-10
By Joseph Radziszewski (Gray, ME USA)
I just received my Samson Go Mic two days ahead of schedule and I could not be happier. I took it out of its impressive package, clipped it to my Asus Netbook which I am running on Ubuntu Linux, plugged it into a USB port set my sound preference and away I went. For the last two hours I have been playing my mandolin and singing at my computer and playing back on my stereo speakers. The sound is clean and natural. I can't believe this little gem only cost me fifty bucks (it's worth the ninety list price).



I am set up next to a noisy heater that the mic has not picked up when I have it set at either cardioid setting. When I set it for omni-directional, I walked fifteen feet away and it picked me up clearly without me raising my voice.



The mic's actual size is similar to a large pencil eraser. It folds into itself for storage in a nice little case that come with it. It is a sturdy, serious piece of equipment.



Yee Haw, highly, highly recommended!

 "Great everyday microphone" 2010-02-01
By Aleksandrs Zdancuks (Riga, Latvia)
This microphone is great everyday solution. I used it with my MacBook and with my Ubuntu-powered desktop workstation. Both ways it works flawlessly.



I like it travel case, the way I hold it in my hand or the way it can be attached. Clip is not so big, to attach a mic to a standart office display, but it holds on my laptop display fine.



It is not very noisy, even less noisy than I've expected. Travel case is really sexy, so it is not a problem for me to hold it with me every day I go somewhere. Podcasting from a cafe or a restaurant is fun.

 "Definitely Not Good Enough for Voice Recognition Software" 2010-01-07
By John Kitchens (Lexington, KY)
I recently purchased this mobile microphone in hopes it would provide me with a good, portable way to use voice recognition software on my laptop computer. I use both Mac Speech Dictate and Dragon NaturallySpeaking on my MacBook Pro. I get excellent quality out of my Olympus ME31, Samson Airliner 77 as well as a couple of other wired microphones. They are usually both 96 to 98% accurate. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for this USB microphone. At best, you get around 80% accuracy -- simply not good enough to use with voice dictation software. I've also tried Blue Snowflake USB microphone and it is just as bad. At this point, the only real good portable solution would be the more expensive Olympus ME31 along with a small USB adapter.

 "Exellent mic for the money" 2009-12-27
By Kalaab (Illinois)
In the realm of digital recording, the idea of a USB-powered condenser mic was really just an inevitability, but Samson has truly impressed me with their Go Mic. This little microphone has a surprisingly rich sound to it, and captures an impressive dynamic range. The transducer is a mere 10mm, but don't let the diminutive size of it fool you; you can capture some high-quality, professional sounds with this microphone. I use mine primarily as a to-go mic for my laptop recording studio, capturing vocals and guitars with it.



One caveat I would like to mention about using this device in a multitrack context: the use of the default driver for this device is definitely not recommended. Check out ASIO4ALL, a free driver that recognizes your audio hardware and gives them a generic but highly effective ASIO driver, which cuts down on latency big time. Definitely avoid the default Windows driver if you're looking for performance.



The great thing about this microphone is that it has a headphone jack on it, which further reduces the effects of latency in a multitrack context. While it does not reduce latency per se, it can remove the latency between what you hear out of your speakers, making multitrack recordings well-timed. The headphone jack was the deciding factor between this and the Blue Snowflake, which is similarly priced. I have no experience with the Snowflake, but I know it does not have a headphone jack and its clip with which to mount the mic on a laptop is free-hanging, not spring-loaded like the Go Mic. The thing I love about the Go Mic's clip is it will attach to either the top or the side of your LCD screen, which is handy.



If you're a musician who travels with any frequency, definitely look into the Go Mic. You can't go wrong for the price, and its size is tiny enough to stow away in even the smallest laptop bag (even netbook bags). The quality of sound is great, too. This product, alongside my Korg nanoKEY, makes studio productions on the road a reality for me, and I'm thrilled with my purchase.
