Or you can flip the stand over to clip it on the top of your laptop screen. The stand is a minuscule, ergonomic wonder-it has rubber feet so that it can be placed flat on a desktop with the mic hinged off to the side. The clip stand fits around the mic for compact stowing when not in use. At 2.8 by 1.7 by 0.9 inches (HWD) and 3.7 ounces, it's a tiny microphone that won't take up much space in your bag. The Go Mic is roughly the size of a Bic lighter. The Go mic can get a bit plosive (resulting in pop sounds), so getting proper placement is key, but for the price, this USB mic is a very useful tool. The mic itself offers a solid signal that should improve the clarity of Skype calls and serve as a simple, easy-to-use portable tool for musicians. For this bargain price, you get a dual pattern mic (cardioid and omnidirectional) with a clever design that can be used with its built-in clip stand to record while sitting flat on a desk or clipped to the top of a laptop. On the flip side, the $39.99 Samson Go Mic is about as inexpensive as they come. We test plenty of USB mics with high prices and a wide variety of features and polar patterns.
