Everything I expected
This is a great product. I create online training videos and this is ideal. The audio is crystal clear and is easy to use. This is not a light-weight cheapy throw away item if it doesn't work. I am very impressed with the quality.
Caution - Your PC is fully capable of using this as a plug-n-play device. Don't waste your time on the SoftPre software described in the literature as you don't need it. I contacted the manufacturer and they confirmed by suspecion that it doesn't work ...

Rip Off
The actual product itself is a good purchase, but the company lied about sending everything. They tried to blame missing items on another company.

Great buy!
This mic works well. Nice clear recording for voice over work. My only complaint is that I haven't been able to get the Sonar LE to work. It doesn't appear to be compatible with my sound card. The mic works well with Audacity however.

A cool retro microphone
I recommend the whole kit, with C01U USB studio condenser microphone, desktop stand and carrying case.
Fidelity is top notch, although I am still working on ideal volume settings and microphone placement since the recording levels are on the soft side at present. But I have been able to adjust with no distortion for my recording projects.
Can't wait to take it "on the road."

Perfect for amateur recording and podcasting
The Samson CO1U Recording/Podcasting Pak is perfect for me. I am trying to get into the voice over business and this equipment is the perfect place to start. Combined with the Sonar editing program and PS01 Popfilter (sold seperately) I believe it will be an invaluable asset to anyone wishing to record themselves for demos, projects, or just podcasting.

Outstanding quality and value
I couldn't be happier with this setup. I purchased it with a PS01 pop screen (Samson) and it's become my staple for WBT voice-over via Sony Audio Studio. The microphone offers an affordable, authentic representation of the voice.
An outstanding value at this price!

High Quality Product, low price
I am very happy with my new Samson microphone and it actually serves two purposes in our household. My wife uses it to record music and I use it for Web-based rapid eLearning. It's great to have such a versatile microphone that delivers such clean sound. Right out of the box, we were able to connect through our USB port and work with any audio software. The fit and finish makes this package a bargain, plus you have a couple of different choices for how you want to place your microphone onto ...

Excellent product for the price. The sound is awesome
It works good the software that comes with it is not very user friendly but support was awesome they walked us through how to record and the flexibility of the software is phenomenal. I really enjoyed using the product. You can't beat the price as well!

Piece of junk
I've been working with my new Samson C01U for the last five hours, and that's enough for me. I've tried it on three different computers--two Windows XP machines and one Vista--and the microphone does not work on any of them. Don't waste your time or money. Maybe I'll get some use out of the aluminum case it came in.

not for podcasting
I teach online. This item was purchased strictly for podcasting. The instruction manual is not user-friendly at all - assumes the reader is creating his/her own recording and fluent in musical jargon. Still trying to figure out exactly how to use it for my purpose. Far too technical for someone looking for basic podcasting. I would not recommend this device for podcasting.
