Samson C01 Condenser Microphone Review / Test HD

Today I review the Samson C01 XLR Condenser Microphone. This thing costs around $75 so it has quite a bit of competition, and is not the best mic in this price range. It lacks a little bit in the lower frequencies, has an almost nasally tone to it, and is somewhat sibilant. On top of that, it has some self noise issues. I am not the biggest fan of this microphone, and I think you can find a better option in this price range.
