Samson began designing wireless microphone systems and has grown into a global player for more than three decades. Samson was also one of the first brands to develop USB microphones, launching the world's first USB studio condenser microphone C01U back in 2005. Stylish elements such as chrome finishing, magnetic base, and folding stand are cleverly incorporated into the design by Samson, and the look-conscious consumer is sure to be attracted by the unique shape of the Samson microphone.

 

Entry-level portable microphones are Samson's home turf. The Meteor's all-metal body not only gives it an eye-catching shape, but also makes it strong and durable. theMasterSwitch voted it the 7th best microphone for its folding stand design and the sound quality on par with the Blue Snowball ICE.

 

Both the Meteorite and Go Mic clip-on are priced at 299 yuan, and the Meteorite uses a magnetic base to easily adjust the microphone direction according to the sound source, which is suitable for recording in single-person scenes. The Go Mic clip-on has two built-in pickup modes, cardioid and omnidirectional, which can be used for multi-source scenarios such as meeting recordings in addition to solo recording. In terms of portability, these two microphones can be described as the extreme.
