Review: Excellent full sound suitable for most needs. May need to replace the USB lead for best performance - After doing some research and listening to the options online this microphone seemed like the best combination of price and sound quality. Another option was the Fifine K670 if you want to save some money (Also an excellent option but very subtly flatter sound). I thought an online sample of the Blue Snowball also sounded more electronic. Certainly for podcasting or videoconferencing the Meteor will do the job. The sound quality varies with how close it is to your mouth with the richest sound if you are within around 20cm, but perfectly decent sound at arm length. It is very sensitive so will pick up fan noise from a PC. I found when on the desk with my computer the fan noise was transmitted though the desk so it sounds better placed on a piece of foam or other insulation if you don't want to go for a mic boom arm. Also with the included USB lead there was a very slight whine audible on playback which was absent when using shorter, or better quality leads. Seems a bit of an oversight to supply a good quality microphone with suboptimal lead. Fortunately most people are likely to have other Mini USB leads around. The compact size is a bonus if you want to keep the microphone out of view and the quirky look is good. It feels solid and good quality. The legs can apparently be removed if you want to put it on another mount.
Review: Not Perfect, But Close Enough. Fix For Red Light Issue!!! - Stylistically, this is as good as you're going to get for sub-£50. The folding legs which act as a stand are excellent, and can even be removed by unscrewing if necessary. The microphone gives a very clear sound which is great for Skype and this is the limit of what I'm currently using it for. All in all I'm very satisfied with what this microphone does. The reason for four stars instead of five. Firmware, and support, or lack of it within the UK. I experienced the red light syndrome associated with these microphones. This means, on a Mac, that the mic is only recognised as an Advanced USB Device and not as the Samson Meteor Microphone. Though the microphone still functioned as per usual on Skype for example, as I use dictation quite a bit this was a nightmare as I had to re-input the microphone as an input source, and it went from being an approved device, to an unknown device. Nightmare. Trawling through Samson's own website I found nothing. I then went to Youtube and found very little until stumbling onto a video in Italian which featured a page on Samson's website I'd never seen before. This only offers a Windows solution, so as I have a Mac I gave the microphone to a friend, who followed all the instructions, returning me with a Microphone with a blue light! The mic is now recognised by my system again, and it's all sorted. Google 'Meteor Mic Fix for Windows' and choose the first result, if you want to fix the red light issue and return to blue heaven. For those with specific Windows 10 issues, you'll also find a link on the Samson page to another with instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic little bit of kit!
*by A***N on 14 October 2012*

This product is exactly what I was aiming to get, a fair priced, high quality studio microphone which is well built and boy does that just describe this mic or what!. The build is fantastic, three sturdy, fully adjustable legs that move directly upwards to sit flush with microphone head to ensure a safe and compact journey if you were taking it on the go, which brings me to another key thing about this microphone, compact, this microphone is, when fully stood up is just higher than a normal sized coffee mug which makes it excellent for a portable microphone to use on the go. The microphone has a very nice look to it, the mesh is fantastic, really well made and cuts down the volume of the 'popping' when saying the letter p and so on. It comes with a microphone mute button which if in skype calls and someone walks in on your conversation, push of a button, the mic is muted and will be shown muted by a orange LED which is usually blue when the mic is on and not muted. Another LED is inside which is red, if you are recording vocals or a guitar, anything really, the mic will tell you if the sound is distorting by popping up a red led every time the sound is distorted. There is a headphone point in the back which enables you to listen to your voice etc. through obviously, your headphones, in which the turning button on the front comes in handy to turn up and down the volume of the sound into the headphones not the mic volume, the mic volume needs to be adjusted within your windows sound options if using a PC like myself. The microphone doesn't come with any software that you need to install, it really is just a plug and use microphone, once detected by e.g Windows, the microphone will be smartly listed as Samson Meteor Mic. I think overall this microphone is absolutely fantastic and deserves to be owned by anyone looking for a fair priced, high quality mic. I this review clears up a lot of questions people might have with the product. If you would like to know more about this product from a daily user, comment within this review and I shall get back to you. If you would like to hear how the microphone sounds from a daily user with no added effects, check [...] for a live show I might be doing or comment and I will sort out a way for us to hear the quality such as using Skype etc. Happy shopping!
