c01u pro components

No matter how you’re communicating, it’s important to have a microphone that captures every detail. The Samson C01U Pro delivers 16-bit, 48kHz audio resolution that ensures high-definition recordings and live streaming with a single USB connection. Enjoy studio quality straight out of the box with no extra gear or driver downloads required.

The C01U Pro expands on the capabilities of its predecessor with an 1/8” headphone output with zero-latency monitoring which allows the user to listen to themselves in real time.

    awesome mic for discord and obs!
    my headset hurts my ears from time to time and I sometimes just want to take my headset off and just hear everybody through my speakers, but without have to mute my mic. first off, easy plug and play! just from auto adjustments- this mic doesn't pick up any bg noise when I'm gaming or hardly hearing the mashing of my keyboard and mouse clicks. I've tested it plenty of times with the channel and they can automatically tell I got a new mic and even considered buying it themselves. I come out clear and if you're like me, who gets nervous about it picking up stomach growls or heavy wheezing, look no further because this is the mic bahahaha unless you're doing asmr because this mic can do that too! sarcastic, but maybe not. this mic has put my mind at ease. also, amazing mic for vocals. I've tested it out plenty of times singing and it's just a beautiful masterpiece. in love!

    Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2021
    After having this mic for a couple of months, I can say that this is a decent buy. I use this mic on a ps4 for streaming, videos, and to talk in party chat. My annoyance with this mic is that there’s no mute button, so sadly I can’t just mute it like my Blue Yeti Nano. The sound quality is actually really nice and it is fair on terms of background noise cancellation. Occasionally you can hear background noise like the tv, but not very often. For the price, I say this mic is definitely worth the money considering that it out does my Blue Yeti any day.

    Reviewed in India on May 25, 2020
    I saw a lot of reviews about most of all ubs mics in this price range and decided to go for this one and let me tell you, I absolutely love the mic. The sound quality is literally perfect and super balanced out of the box. Just add a pop filter or similar filters and it works like a charm. I used it with "Wright WP 101 POP filter with WR-35 Microphone Stand"(search this) and it stays perfectly(only with the wind screen filter not with pop filter). I feel it's far better than the Blue Yeti mic. Rate the review helpful if you found it so.
