PodMic USB Versatile Dynamic Broadcast Microphone with XLR and USB Connectivity for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, Music Creation and Content Creation

USB C straight into the pc, no setup needed and no interface needed. Works perfectly and sounds great. A bit pricy but if you want a high quality plug and play experience then go for it, you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure to buy the rode boom arm or an equivalent quality one as the thing is heavy.

This is a "WAW" product. Working perfectly! Thanks!

Can hear some background noise but if your in a quiet room it’s fine when I got it the cable they gave didn’t work but I used another one

Arrived and after 5 hours testing it on various software and having many IT people to provide support. I then changed the cables, same result. Then changed to iphone, then another PC, all resulting in same issue. Silence. Then I used an online audio program, white noise resulted. Seems all together this is faulty. Disappointed that Amazon could not send out another straight away, they can sell new ones next day but their replacement service is 3 weeks away. Poor.

Great product and great prices and great service. A quality product for serious podcastors and youtubers I use it for voice overs with the rode mic table stand I highly recommend this product...you will not be disappointed

If you’re going to buy this microphone and even if you don’t make use of XLR, buy the USB/XLR version simply because of the flexibility - though in my opinion XLR is always the better route - It’s a great mic.

Overall, I was happy with the sound quality – it would have been excellent for podcasting. Very quick and easy to use, and the build quality felt solid and professional. That said, I did notice a very light buzzing sound when I plugged my headphones into the mic directly. It’s not super noticeable, especially once you start recording or monitoring actively, but it is there. Not sure why it was happening. It didn’t affect the actual mic recording at all. But if you’re sensitive to noise in your monitoring, it's just something to be aware of. Still a great mic.

Crispy, clear, easy to setup, quality is beyond

Sono rimasto assolutamente impressionato dal RØDE PodMic USB! Cercavo un microfono che potesse offrire una qualità audio professionale sia per il mio podcast che per le mie sessioni di gaming e streaming, e questo microfono ha centrato in pieno l'obiettivo.

La versatilità è un altro punto di forza incredibile. Avere sia la connettività XLR che USB offre una flessibilità enorme.

Questa doppia opzione lo rende un investimento a prova di futuro, adattabile a diverse esigenze e configurazioni. L'integrazione con il software RØDE Connect è un valore aggiunto non da poco. Permette di gestire facilmente più microfoni, controllare i livelli, aggiungere effetti e creare mixaggi audio di alta qualità in modo intuitivo.

Se state cercando un microfono dinamico di alta qualità che offra prestazioni eccellenti e grande flessibilità, il RØDE PodMic USB è la scelta giusta!

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

Good product, for good price.

I purchased the RØDE PodMic USB to upgrade my live streaming and content creation setup, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I use it with the RØDE DS2 Desktop Studio Arm, and together they make a perfect combination. My first unit unfortunately had a manufacturing defect and wasn't capturing audio properly. However, Amazon's customer service was exceptional and sent a replacement within hours. The replacement worked perfectly right out of the box. The audio quality is simply outstanding. Since switching to the PodMic USB, I've received multiple compliments during my live sessions about the clarity and richness of my voice. It delivers professional broadcast-quality sound with minimal effort. One of my favorite features is the onboard DSP. Once you configure the microphone settings, they are stored directly on the microphone itself. This means you don't need to keep any software running to maintain your preferred settings, which is incredibly convenient when switching between devices. Another feature I love is its USB-C connectivity. I was able to connect it directly to my Samsung Galaxy S25, and the audio quality was amazing. If you create videos on your phone and want professional-grade audio without carrying extra equipment, this microphone is an excellent choice. The dual USB and XLR connectivity provide great flexibility for both beginners and advanced users, and the included 5-year warranty from RØDE adds extra peace of mind. Overall, this is one of the best microphone purchases I've made. Excellent sound quality, versatile connectivity, onboard processing, mobile compatibility, and solid build quality make it an easy 5-star recommendation.

Received it with a little scratch marks, which means it had been opened before. Easily noticeable as it’s white. Bought it at INR 23699.
