RØDE PodMic USB Versatile Dynamic Broadcast Microphone With XLR and USB Connectivity for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, Music-Making and Content Creation (Black)

Excellent studio sound quality at a great price! MacOS and Linux compatible out of the box. Has support for both XLR and USB C. Easy to adjust at different angles, high quality fully metal build.

I wanted to upgrade from my Blue Yeti and this has been the perfect choice for my gaming YouTube channel. With a combination of this microphones software and some OBS tweaks my audio sounds the most clear and professional than it ever has. I’m so glad I upgraded and honestly I’ll never need another mic for what I do. Excellent choice if you stream, do commentary or do any podcast work.

Great microphone for podcast, very effective and easy to use. Noise canceling and get for the price.

Loving it! First off I love the signature look and style that they use across their products. It's just frikking nice to look at! Setting it up was easy. Ready to go straight out of the box. I was concerned for a moment when I saw the USB-C to USB-C cord that it comes with. Luckily though I discovered that I do have such a port on my laptop. But hey that was a close one. This review could have gone differently. Also I have a Rode USB mic from a few years ago which I was able to remove the stand from and hook it onto my new PodMic. So that was really cool since the PodMic doesn't come with any kind of stand. Tested it out on my DAW of choice and it sounded really crisp yet warm. Immediately had that nice podcast feel. I played with it while creating a new default preset chain for it which was also telling about the sensitivity. Yeah being close up on it is beneficial but I didn't feel that it was as serious as some people make it seem in the reviews. Maybe it depends on what you're trying to use it for. As of right now I'm not intending to use it for a podcast. I'm making recordings with it. It really doesn't pick up a lot of background noise and even when I normalized the recording there was hardly any background, which is even more awesome for when I go to isolate it and remove it there will be less to detract from the original quality of the recording! Yes!!! Yeah so I'm really happy with it and though I don't remember exactly how my first USB mic performed a few years ago, I think this PODMIC does better even though it may be intended for something different than Rode's first USB mic.

I did a bit of research and found good reviews for this mic. People said it was high quality and it looked like it was. I ordered the mic, mic stand and pop filter all through amazon together for just about $320. I was using a blue yeti before for years but finally needed to get a new mic. The mic came and I set it up on the stand no problem although the usb-c wire they sent didn't work at all. So I ended up having to purchase my own usb-c wire. I got ones that were usb-c to usb-c and usb-c to just normal usb. They all worked but another issues persisted. I had a bit of trouble trying to get it to function using the software and everything but eventually made it work. The sound quality was much better than my previous mic and everything seemed awesome for a few days. The issue I began to have was the mic would just stop working while I was gaming. The only way to fix this was to unplug the mic and plug it back in which is very inconvenient especially when it could happen every 2-5 minutes or just once an hour with no warning. I contacted RODE support about the issue and thus begun the month process of being gaslit by them claiming it was my problem. I needed to send photos and videos of the mic working and not working and trying it out on different devices and using different cables. In the end nothing worked and I ended up finally getting them to allow me to send it back to them but not for a refund because they refused to refund me anything as it's not bought directly from them. I had to spend another $20 to ship it back to them and then just wait. Eventually I heard back and they didn't tell me anything about the mic or any issues but rather said they will try to send me a replacement but they didn't have any in stock. So I would have to wait even longer. Pretty quickly they got one in stock luckily and then I was sent the replacement mic in the mail. I set it up last night and gave it a try. Just like before the wire doesn't work but mine do. The program even though I had it set up before gave me problems. And the big kicker is that it is having the same exact issue as before where the mic just stops working and I have to unplug and replug it for it to work again. I did some research and found others have had many issues with this specific mic and with RODE's AWFUL customer support system. I HIGHLY recommend avoiding this mic and any RODE products for that matter. I am about $340 in the hole for this purchase and they refuse to refund me a dime.

Love the mic! Use it for webinars and zoom calls, have been getting a lot of compliments on the improved audio

All its cut out to be. Would recommend. Works well with windows PC HP. Supporting software helps with enhanced tools. There are better but for the price a good value.

Been using this for almost 3 years. Quality is impressive and easy to setup. Best mic I've used.

Ok i feel i need to address this but when i was first looking at this i saw it was frequently returned amd the shock hit me too but i felt it was such a good product i needed to take the risk ok so before we get into the pros and cons i came from a yeti x and was debating on this or the shure mv7+ but since the time of making this review the mv7+ is much more expensive and after watching videos this mic sounded better on usb PROS: -im honestly pretty impressed how well built this mic feels and it does have pretty good weight to it -the sound signature is just so good for the price and even out of the box with no software it sounds great -the software is actually pretty easy to use and theres even an advanced mode for people who want more options -much better at not picking up mouse clicks or keyboard typing CONS: -the lack of a physical mute button is definitely taking some getting used to -the usb is usb-c to usb-c some people may need to get an adapter if using older motherboards or laptops with no usb-c (most stuff has usb-c but im just putting that out there) Overall im glad i gave this one a chance

شبكت سلك تايب c من pc إلى المايك و جودة الصوت ممتازة لو كان عندك ازعاج بالغرفة استخدم نيفيدا برودكاست جودة الصوت تبي تقل شوي لكن ممتاز بالنسبة لي و الازعاج %80 يبي يختفي

Good product, for good price.

The PodMic USB is awesome. It looks fantastic RØDE really know how to make a professional-looking mic — and the build quality is solid. Perfect for podcasting, streaming, or voice recording, and I’ve even used it on location where it performed beautifully. The sound is clear, rich, and broadcast quality. Having both XLR and USB connectivity makes it super versatile for different setups. A brilliant mic at a great price point.

Le micro est juste top 👍 il est un peu lourd mais bon
