RODE PODMICUSBW Reviews

High quality, however…

By Juan
Rated 3 out of 5

I ordered the white version of this mic and it’s really beautiful and the build quality feels really great, like it’s gonna last a lifetime. However, the included Pop Filter comes only in pure black and it doesn’t match the mic. I would like to know this before committing to the white design. For that I give 3 stars because it should’ve been on the description and for a mic that feels, looks and performs at a high quality level, this looks like a sloppy and cheap after thought.

Good buy

I only use the usb option. Not there yet with the xlr connection but I’ve gotten really positive feedback about my audio being “crisp” and “clear”. 10/10 would recommend.
