Samson Q8 - Cardioid Neodymium Dynamic Handheld Microphone

This mic was recommended by the sellsperson as being excellent for live vocals. He was right. The dynamics and warmth (not to mention the price) was a perfect match. I recommend this mic 200%.

  Durable, Great Sound

"Our soundman has a collection of microphones so we were able to really compare the Q8 to a bunch of other microphones. The Q8 sounded as good, if not better than some of the expensive microphones in his collection. We were all surprised and impressed."

This is a heavy handheld microphone, the type that feels like it is made well. So far, it sounds good, too. Many thanks, Sam Ash!!

Have had the same Q8's for the past 3 years. Not one problem. They have been slammed on the floor. Dropped on the floor. Not one glitch.(Q7 broke on the first drop)Buy the Q8 over the Q7 completely worth the extra money.

I couldn't believe when salesmen let me try 6 different brands simultaneously, This one stands out of the crowd, specially under $200 mics category. Sound is clear, powerful and smooth.You won't regret it. Recommended for live performances.

I just got this microphone for Christmas. It sounds warm, it picks up all of the sound, and it feels good. I would recommend it for anyone, especially just starting out musicians who don't want to spend too much but want a great mic.
