For the price, you get a very good microphone. I purchased it for around £60, and I didn't have very high hopes, I was looking for something to record a loud drum kit with. When I got it, I thought, oh well, it will just be super loud and distorted like cameras and other cheap mic's I've tried, I might as well try it before I send it back. When I did record it, the quality was super. Now, I was playing a super loud drum kit, in a bare untreated room with pretty poor acoustics- And I got a clean, distortion clear recording which could pass off as being recorded by a mic three times the cost. I'm very impressed. Just imagine how good it could sound in a decent room...
Also it connects to your laptop/computer via USB, so you don't need to buy XLR cables and mixers and interfaces- Easy, simple, cheap and gives a very impressive sound recording.

This was a surprise present for my daughter who composes and records personal tracks on the computer. She had explained the type of microphone she wanted and they were all mega pricey. Anyway I heard her talking about Samson microphones and saw this on Amazon.
She was realy pleased with it. It definitely has a good quality pickup. At one point it caught me cackling like a witch in another room watching TV.
It is chunky and heavy, and fitted perfectly on the microphone stand that my daughter already had. My daughter is really pleased with its quality, no hissing and no distortion.

I use it to record my acoustic guitar and its very loud and clear. Make sure you turn up the mic volume by going to control panel - sound - recording.
