RØDE PodMic Broadcast-quality Dynamic Microphone with Integrated Swing Mount for Podcasting, Streaming, Gaming, and Voice Recording,Black,XLR

I bought this mic after wanting it for over a year now and it sounds amazing truly podcast quality but there are things you will need too get it running well and without a problem mostly also this mic is super heavy like you can feel the quality just from holding it alone. You are gonna need an xlr cable duh and also a audio interface again duhhh but don't cheap out on these unless you want to get a gain booster which are hard af too buy like finding one in stock that won't break the bank will be like finding a grain of sand. Also get a good xlr cable most aren't expensive and mine was 4 pounds and feels good and won't break. If you are in a windy environment get a pop filter to put over it as the internal pop filter is crap and basically not even a feature. Also if you already have a boom arm or any kind of mic arm it should support it as it supports both 5/8" and 3/8" threaded mic stands so no need for a new one or a janky or overpriced adaptor. My only complaints are the fact they advertise a pop filter built in which I'm sure there is too a degree but it does nothing compared too a real one. And also how on my boom arm it doesn't like too screw on securely as the built in shock mount or stand can turn allowing the mic to move where ever needed means I tighten it as much as I would like but it's not a deal breaker. Overall an amazing microphone and sounds incredible for the price(excluding cables and interface and maybe gain booster if needed) and the fact that with some simple EQ it can sound just like the SM7B which seems too be the standard for mics like these I don't know why when this thing exists. So in short in my opinion (baring in mind i came from a blue snowball condenser mic) this thing is insanely good for the price and I don't think I will ever swap mics now. So if you can afford it get it unless you find something you like more. But if you want a good quality and amazing sounding mic for under 100 pounds then this is the one for you but please do listen to sound tests before you decide as not everyone likes the same sound I like :)

The RØDE PodMic delivers excellent, broadcast-quality audio that is warm and rich, perfect for podcasting and streaming. The build quality is superb; it is very solid and feels professional and durable—it's built to last. However, as a dynamic microphone, it is a low-gain mic and requires a powerful audio interface. For reference, I use the Scarlett Solo 4th Gen and have to turn the gain almost to the maximum to achieve a proper recording level. Buyers without a strong interface (or a separate Cloudlifter/Fidelizer) should be aware of this requirement. If you have the proper gear to drive it, this microphone is a fantastic investment and easily worth a 5-star rating for the quality of sound it produces.

Best mic I’ve had and not too pricey. The audio quality is what you’d expect from an xlr mic, it’s very sturdy and it hasn’t had any issues in the 3 or so years I’ve had it now.

The difference between using the RØDE PodMic instead of a USB mic for streaming is unbelievable. The sound is rich and clear, almost like a professional broadcast right out of the box. The PodMic has a hefty, solid feel, won’t wobble on the desk and is great-looking. However, the most important point of all is that it makes your vocals that much better in your stream or video. Easily the best upgrade I’ve made to my setup.

I ordered this mic during black friday for a very good price considering how good it is. But when it arrived the box was damaged as if it had been thrown onto the floor. The mic itself had a lot of noise because of this, so i contacted amazon and managed to get a replacement. The replacement, yet again, experienced the exact same issues, after some more contacting customer service, they said 'we will give you a partial refund' , great I thought. But turns out, partial meant £14, so now i am stuck with 2 broken microphones. Enough of that, the mic itself is built really well and came in very plain packaging, would say this microphone would be worth it as it sounds very good. However I would try to ensure you are at home when it is delivered so that it doesn't get destroyed during delivery.

Best Mic i have ever had. Built to last and better the a very famous known brand. Excellent sound quality

Great microphones for the price. Lovely sounds, really easy to work with The only reason I returned these was because I didn’t have the number of inputs I thought on my mixer. Works seamlessly with the rodecaster series of products

Bought this when it went on a magical sale and it's never been that price again since and I feel like I hit the jackpot. I've got this paired with a GOXLR and it's amazing. No issues from get go and the sturdiness is absolutely lovely especially for the £40 I paid for it... At the higher price I'd still buy it knowing what I know now.
