Great USB Mic
Rode NT-USB Mini USB Microphone
Reviewed by Jeremy on B&H Photo Video
This thing is great. It sounds great, the price is right and it's super easy to use. I do wish the mute button actually muted the mic completely but it doesn't. It only mutes it in the headphone jack, others on the chat can still hear you.
Good sound but tripod stand unstable
Rode NT-USB Mini USB Microphone Kit with Boom Arm & Headphones
Reviewed by George on B&H Photo Video
I tried it for a week or so. Sound was good, it worked well. But the included desktop tripod stand was very unstable. It was more stable with the pop-filter removed but still could easily be toppled. Luckily that didn't happen to me and I was able to return it. Also I decided I really wanted the Blue Yeti because of stereo support.
Great voice over mic

Reviewed by Cooper on B&H Photo Video
I run a video production company and needed a nice mic to use for voice over work. After lots of research I ended up on this one. It's not the most expensive one in the world but it really does sound great. Gives your voice a nice and powerful sound with nice low end. It's super clear and all together sounds really good. Very happy with this purchase.
Good product. Good service.

Very user friendly product. Used it a few times so far and the recording is super clear. Background noise is a lot less of a problem than expected. Super happy so far with everything.
Very good quality, clear sound.

I've using the mic for two weeks now. It is built with great quality. So far sound is very clear using Zoom, Goto Meeting, and recording voice and music for both me at work, and with my wife for recordings too. The magnetic base is nice, but mic is set too low. I am using it with an arm, that helps to be closer to the mouth but it is not seen in the camera. Truly recommended it.

Fantastic Product
Rode NT-USB Mini USB Microphone
Reviewed by Sean on B&H Photo Video
Got this microphone for work and for some novice voice recording and it is amazing. It is super easy to set up just plug and play. It also picks up things very well. Definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for a USB mic under 100 dollars. Made from Rode so the build quality is also top notch.

LOVE this little guy! Easy to set up, sounds great, and can drive my 250 ohm DT770's. I've used it for Zoom calls, Discord game chat, and video voiceover work, all with great feedback from people on the other end. If you need a convenient usb mic that is travel friendly, built well, and sounds good, get this one!
Great Mic

Reviewed by Mark on B&H Photo Video
I purchased this mic to do voice overs for a power point slide show I was creating. The sound is great. I strongly suggest you pay attention to your distance from the mic as the best sound seems to be when you are within about 6- 12 inches. I love the performance and would buy it again.
Free items?

it says that there are free items that come with the mic is there no option/ discount to but just the mic and the tripod and filter
Great reproduction
Rode NT-USB Mini USB Microphone Kit with Boom Arm & Headphones
Reviewed by Leo on B&H Photo Video
`I use this mic for vocals and it reproduces well. What I hear coming back at me from the speakers is what I hear coming out of my head. The pop filter also works quite well. Having nothing to do with the microphone itself, Im a little disappointed in the 3 leg stand which I use. Its a little small and can tip quite easy if your not careful.
Great for beginners!

Reviewed by Loki on B&H Photo Video
This is my first professional mic and the setup was so easy. There's no program required to run it so you only need to plug it into a power source and use it as needed! I wish it worked for phones (I used a usb-usb-c adapter to plug it into my phone, that didn't work at all) but I'm sure there is a workaround out there. The audio quality is phenomenal, I highly recommend this.
Great Sound (Minor improvements could be made)

Reviewed by trenton on B&H Photo Video
This mic has an amazing tone, it's warm and clear on vocals. There are a few minor things I'd like to see on the next model. Gain nob on the mic, Multi pic up pattern, and Color options. Other than those very minor things this is a sold mic and would recommend it to friends.
Nice!

I am a teacher and doing multiple Zoom meetings a day. I purchased this mic to improve my audio quality. It collapses down and fits in my backpack easily. When I am zooming it sits on my laptop out of view of the camera and produces great sound.
Great, versatile mic for the price.

Reviewed by Sheila on B&H Photo Video
I bought this mic to use for a podcast series I'm working on. It's a great microphone for the price and sounds great. The only drawback is the use of the stand. The table top stand is fine but there isn't flexibility to use a tripod as a stand so you can be on your feet recording. The nut socket is not a standard size. I would recommend it though.
Sensitive and Clear

Reviewed by Terrence on B&H Photo Video
This microphone is almost to sensitive at higher settings, and will pick up your breathing! I need to learn the controls, I'm sure it can be adjusted. It feels solid, the stand is sturdy, the cord is removable for storage. It's a major upgrade to built-in microphones or most headphones. I have used a headphone plugged into the microphone, skipping the headset's mic. That worked well.
I received a defective unit of Rode NT-USB Mini.

I rated the Rode NT-USB Mini microphone which I received by one star. When I writing this review, I see, to the right from stars, it is written I hate it. Well, I do not feel that I hate it. It looks good. It is compact. It is pleasantly heavy. I was able to connect it to the computer. No problems with that. The problem is that the unit which I received - does not work. When I am talking, in the Sound Control Panel, Recording, on the right from this microphone - no bars are moving. Dead. I have a microphone in a webcam. That one is working. When I am talking, in the Sound Control Panel, Recording, the bars on the right from that microphone - are moving! Well, a defective unit of Rode NT-USB Mini I received! A bad unit! ... More

All you need to do is plug it in and you're good. Have been using it for my zoom calls and coworkers can tell the difference between the microphone and the webcam microphone. Quality at its finest at a reasonable price.
Crystal Clear Sound and Compact Size

Reviewed by Kwok on B&H Photo Video
I really like the Rode NT-USB Mini USB Microphone's compact size for use with Zoom and other video calls and it works well. I can put it in my bag and connect to my laptop. The only drawback is that the device does not have a mute button which I prefer than to mute on the video conferencing application.
I absolutely love this microphone!

Reviewed by Joshua on B&H Photo Video
It sounds great, easy to set up (literally just plug it in, and it works right away!), and has a great out of the box tripod. A little on the short side, but I bought a microphone arm anyways. It picks up SO much more clearer, and much more fuller, than my dinky headset mic. If I had the studio, I'd buy a few more, and have a podcast recording sesh! Absolutely love this!

...because of COVID-19 our annual event was suddenly moved from mid a Manhattan union hall to ZOOM... so we needed something to plug in to MacBook Pro and GO! Our answer was the Rde NT-USB. It was easy to use and provided really robust audio. We're very happy with it so far. Were it not for the plastic tripod stand I would have gladly given it a 5-star rating the mic itself earns...
