NT-USB+ Professional-Grade USB Microphone for Recording Exceptional Audio Directly to a Computer or Mobile Device , black

Let me start by saying I upgraded to the Rode NT-USB+ from a Blue Yeti microphone. Easy to setup. Software is not my personal favourite but works. I personally use this for streaming and gaming - often chatting with friends in discord who have all said it sounds amazing and very professional. Great background noise cancelling and can be quite easily adjusted using software if needed. Uses a USB Type-C cable connection so can even be connected to many newer android phones, PCs, laptops, and other devices with this connection port. Has a headphone jack which can be hooked up for feedback. Aside from this, not really many physical dials on the hardware itself, but lots of features built in that can be adjusted using the software. Love the premium quality pop filter which comes with it. It works well and gives it that professional studio look. It also comes with a great stand that works well and sits at a nice angle but I have mine on a boom arm mount out of personal preference so I can move and adjust it's positioning with easy. Easy to attach to boom arm, no problems there. Definitely worth the price - comparable to many more expensive microphones on the market. Good value for money in my opinion.

Good quality voice recording and solid built

Well worth the upgrade from NT-USB, less editing needed, sound quality exceptional

A very good basic preamped microphone. In terms of filmmaking, this mic actually facilitated my sound production process and made things a lot more streamlined. However, there is one glaring issue to take into account and that is this microphone has no filter, especially when it comes to background noises. From my experience, this microphone will take every surrounding source of sound into account within a 5 - 10 meter radius if you're indoors. I found out, for best results, place the microphone within 20 to 40 cm from the sound source. It also helps to further edit the sound in post-production, using a software that can adjust and improve the dBs, even block out the background noise using filters, for whether you want pro sound or just raw sound. Personally, I alternate between Davinci Resolve and Premier Pro. If you're going to record this from your phone using just the Voice Recorder app, chances are you may have to adjust it later during the editing process. Again, this is just a matter of whether the user wants pro sound or raw. If you have a field recorder on hand, it does help. Although it would partially defeat the purpose of buying this mic in the first place, but at least it can give the sound quality an extra kick.

A quality piece of kit - download the Rode Connect software too.

Had it for 2 days and the plastic yoke has already snapped into two pieces. After researching into it I found out that this is a frequent occurrence. Expecting more out of a £145 microphone. Now I have to wait for RODE to send me out a spare part as I can't connect it to my stand.

Love working with the mic to record my podcasts at home.

Really happy with this mic. I did loads of research before settling on this mic, and the reviewers were right. It takes a little getting used to in terms of using it alongside the app, but once you get the levels right, it’s a great studio-quality mic. I bought this for my iPad, to use with Logic. I was going to buy a USB-C audio interface, but wanted something small enough to travel with. This is the best of both worlds: works like an audio interface and is compact enough to take on the road. An excellent buy, I think.
