Conclusion:

Given the tests and chance to play in a professional environment, I was quite impressed with the Samson C01U USB studio condenser microphone. As a desktop microphone it is definitely overkill, like using a Peterbilt to go grocery shopping. But give it more demanding tasks, such as audio reproduction and broadcasting, the true power of the C01U can shine through.

The professional design also factors into the pricing of the C01U. While Samson doesn’t list an MSRP on its website, online vendors such as Amazon.com list the Samson C01U selling for $72.39 as of the date this review was completed.

While the Samson C01U USB studio condenser microphone is far above and beyond what most home users would ever need (or want to pay), for professional usage it is worthy of the Bigbruin.com "Highly Recommended" award.
