The Samson Meteorite is a compact, portable USB microphone with a unique retro design, but lacks some features like monitoring and gain control.

I cannot recommend this microphone. It is a bit too expensive for what it is.

The Samson Meteorite USB microphone delivers disappointing sound quality that is tinny, hollow, and sibilant, with several usability issues including a very short non-removable cable.
