This mic sounds great, is built to last — even when t’s being used by my 19 yo gamer. I’m also a fan of the retro look to it. More than anything else, it always sounds great. It’s easy to use with both Macs and PCs.

Other mics I've had required padded sound booths, pop filters and all the rest. This one provides crystal clear recordings right out of the box.

I am a fan of everything this microphone has to offer. Previously I wasnt a fan of hearing myself recorded in audio. Now I know it was poor quality when it came to the equipment I used in the past. Recording quality is top tier. It seems durable. Looks great. I just finished uploading my first podcast episode. I wont use another microphone. This is all I need. Its even great for music.

I do a lot of telehealth online work as a mental health therapist, and I have been trying to find a mic that I can mount on an arm, that sounds good, and doesn't pick up so much extra noise especially since I have a train that goes by fairly close. I tried a few mics to include the most recent Shure MV7, and all just didn't cut it. Even with the Shure MV7 which is a supposedly great podcasting mic, no bueno. No matter the settings it picked up any movement on my desk making the other person think I was constantly in an earthquake or something. Not to mention some mics work with windows in a weird synchronous way where the mic gets auto adjusted and it is unfixable.But this Rode NT USB Mini is a life saver! The quality is so freaking good, it doesn't pickup any excess noise, and it mounts beautifully. I finally have quality studio sound when working with clients where any distracting noise is a deal breaker. The price is ridiculously low for the quality! Why they aren't charging more I'll never know. But it now if you are even remotely thinking about it.

İlk mikrofonum. Bir ürün almadan önce araştırmayı seven, buna zaman ayıran biriyim. Rode çok bilindik ve kaliteli ürünler üreten bir marka. Ürünün kalitesi çok güzel. Ağırlık olarak tok, dolu hissettiriyor elde. Küçük olması ve görüntüsü itibariyle de severek aldım.Birden fazla nt usb miniyi aynı bilgisayara takıp kullanma konusunda da bir sıkıntı yok, yankı vesaire yapmıyor. Bu da kendilerinin de dediği gibi podcast içerikleri üretmek isteyenler için rahat bir kullanım sağlıyor.

I am not a professional. I just needed a mic that would not pick up background noise like the heater or air conditioner. I am very pleased with the RØDE NT-USB Mini Versatile Studio-quality Condenser USB Microphone. Also, I didn't want to spend a lot of money(less than $100). This was perfect. I am recording an audio class(es) and just needed the voice to sound clear. This mic definitely does that. My voice sounds much better than I expected. It picks up a wide range of frequencies, so my voice doesn't sound "tinny", as some of the less expensive mics do. It was supper easy to hook up. I use audacity and noticed that I need to turn the mic on before opening or audacity won't "see" the microphone. Not a problem. I would definitely buy it again.

MIkrofony przyszły meg szybko i w super cenie. Zostały podpite do aplikacji i można było szybko i sprawnie nagrać podcast. Mam problme jeszcze z ich ustawieniem na 100% ale to berdziej kwestia miejsca niż samych mikrofonów. Szkoda, że nie mają filtra odcięcia pasma ale rozumiem, że od tego jest model NT USB + a nie mini :) Do podcastów dla gości super sprawa polecam

أعرض لك تجربتي كبودكاستر مبتدئ، جربت قبله مايك واحد فقط من fifine وكان مايك تسليكي، هذا التقييم غير موجه لك إذا كنت محترف.هذا المايك بقدم لك تجربة المايكات المرتفعة الثمن من رود على شكل مايك أصغر حجمًا وأرخص سعرًا من غيره، وهي تجربة صوت ممتازة للغاية.الفلترة الداخلية للمايك ممتازة جدًا.لا يوجد تحكم في حساسية التقاط الصوت، فالحساسية لها مستوى واحد "أظن طبيعي لنوعية اللاقط الي فيه والي غير مصمم لسماع الأصوات البعيدة".التحكم الموجود في الجهة الأمامية للمايك هي لمستوى صوت السماعات الخارجية، وأنا ما جربت هذي الميزة.حجمه وشكله لطيف وجودة تصنيعه مميزة.يشبك باللابتوب أو الـ pc بمنفذ C ، تأكد من توفره بجهازك أو خذ معه أدابتر يدعم المايكات.عمومًا إذا كنت مبتدئ وتظن أنك بتستمر فجيد تاخذ هذا المايك أو أي مايك بنفس المستوى، لو رحت لفئات سعرية أقل "مثل fifine" فستفقد جودة الصوت وامتصاص الضربات وإن أخذنا مايك fifine مثالاً فستجد أن مافيه فلترة داخلية أبدًا، وهذا الشي غير مناسب إذا بيئة التسجيل عندك غير مثالية.

The rode nt usb mini is pretty much the best microphone you can buy in this price range. The mic provides amazingly crisp cardioid audio quality, picking up the finest details and most importantly at the best volume.

I've seen several reviews for this microphone that complain about the fact that the reviewer has to be close to it to obtain adequate volume. That is exactly what makes it a great microphone. A good microphone is not one that picks up any and all sounds around it, but one that picks up what you want it to pick up and discards everything else. And this one excels at that. If you have problems with surrounding noises obscuring your voice or whatever you're recording, this is the microphone you need. It's a cardioid mic, which means it is much less sensitive to sounds that are not directly in front of it. The sensitivity of this mic also falls off quite rapidly -- the official manual says the optimal distance for speaking into this mic is six inches or less -- which means that it's excellent at not picking up sounds that aren't directly in front of, and close to it.It is also very, very good at not picking up sounds transmitted through its body -- so if you accidentally tap it or have it sitting on your desk next to a keyboard while you type, those noises will be very attenuated, if not inaudible.The audio quality is outstanding. If you care about sounding good, this mic will exceed your expectations.The build quality is phenomenal. It's built like a tank, if Apple made tanks. This thing is solid. It's also beautiful -- it looks like a very high-class, well-designed, and sophisticated piece of equipment -- which it is. The button on the front, to toggle the headphone output, is the most tactile button I have ever had the pleasure of pressing. The button's actuation force is high enough that you'll never press it by accident, and the click is crisp and solid.The one missing feature I would have appreciated is a mute button. In these days of ubiquitous surveillance and spyware, every microphone should come with a hard-wired off switch. But other than that, this is one of the best products I have ever bought.

Overall this a great little mic if you need some small for voice.Pros:Small sizeHigh quality nylon and aluminum constructionSimple magnetic baseStrong headphone amplifier built in, able to drive many headphones, including those with higher impedance like the MDR V6 at 53ohmsCompact and portableSolid USB C connection with a quality, adequate length included cableCons:Limited to 96khz. People debate this, but 192khz does often sound a bit better to me, though it's not necessary.Somewhat high noise floor - the mic can sound a bit sizzlyIncluded stand is very low, and easily picks up background noise. Depending on your use case you'll almost definitely need to pick up a separate stand that brings the mic within 6 inches of your mouth to take advantage of the proximity effect. You can get an aftermarket stand for not too much money, but frankly I'm not sure why they included such a short stand.Depending on your voice timbre, it can sound somewhat flat and 'robotlike'. This is more a personal problem for since I have a very monotone voice. Different mics can make it sound better.Overall, for the money you really can't go wrong. It's far better than any included headset mic, the headphone amp is very good, and it also sounds pretty decent for acoustic guitar.

The first thing that comes to mind when handling this microphone is its weight. This little guy is deceptively heavy. That's due to its all metal framework. I'll never try it, but it really does feel like that if I tossed the mic across the room it wouldn't receive even a tiny scratch. Really impressive build quality for the price.For just $100 I wasn't expecting very much in the way of sound quality but I can say that it makes my friends, all of which own Blue products and other overpriced microphones, quite jealous. The way this mic handles plosives is great. A built in pop filter adds some serious value to an already excellently valued product. The sound is also crystal clear. What you hear through audio monitoring is also what the mic output sounds like. No dips or hiccups when it comes to output.The one complaint I do have about the overall package is its desk stand. While the desk stand is somehow ALSO tanky as hell, along with bearing a magnetic mount, It's always better to invest in a microphone arm. There are plenty of cheap ones on amazon, but given the fact that this microphone is EXTREMELY sensitive, I recommend buying a quality microphone arm with some sort of shock mount or pad to dampen vibration as the desk moves.Also buyer beware: This microphone has only one polar pattern and lacks the multiple polar patterns that more expensive microphones have. That being said, this microphone was designed specifically for casual use, but delivers the cardioid polar pattern just as good as competing brands. If this is a deal breaker for you, I apologize.Otherwise, the RODE NT USB MINI is a fantastic low cost, highest quality option for people in the market for such a thing. Whether it be for studio recording, streaming, or just sweaty gaming. This little monster does it all better than the rest.
