Samson Q9X Mic Review (VS Q9U, MV7X, PodMic, SM7B, AT2040, PO-8, SM58, Beta 58A and MORE!)
Ойын-сауық
This is a review and test of the Samson Q9X... Even more than that, it also includes comparisons featuring mics that could be considered the Q9X's competition (I'll label those mics below). In addition to having a blind comparison, like usual, I also open up this video going back and forth between the Samson Q9X and the Samson Q9U. THESE MICS DO NOT SOUND IDENTICAL. The Q9X has a "tweaked" capsule to optimize the sound (what Samson told me). I was eager to test this mic out and see if the sound really had been improved since I wasn't crazy about the sound of the Q9U.
If you are considering purchasing the Q9X I would encourage you to listen to the tests, comparisons, and make sure the features and accessories and what you need.

This review was fantastic. Great humour and purr test was funny! Loved the style. Thank you :)
Your video backgrounds always killing it. The lighting, color and depth is *chef’s kiss* … also, Q9x in mid-boost mode won the blind comparison for me 👀

Thank you! I appreciate that! I was very surprised by the blind comparison. That’s what REALLY opened my eyes and made me like this mic.
I like #3 and #8 on the blind test. Thanks for the review 😊
"A little grumpy pants" It is the professionalism that keeps me coming back for more. :D

Thanks for the video. I can't believe that I liked mic #5 & #8 from the blind test and it turned out that they are the same mic - Q9X. Though the Q9U is selling for $99.99 now which is very tempting I think I rather shell out $20 more to get the Q9X.
I’m addicted to this channel 🥰 Are there any dynamic mics that good for both singing and podcasting under $200 ?
I wasn't expecting much before watching the reviews but this really is an improvement over the USB version

Initially, I was kind of annoyed by this release. However, once I tried it I was surprised and overall happy with the sound improvement they made!
Much more clarity to the Q9X. Price is very reasonable too at just $129. Honestly viable for everything in podcasting, KZread, video etc.
The video I’ve been waiting on! I own 2 Samson Q9U’s and wondering is it worth upgrading to the Q9X?

Amazing review! By the way, check it out the Boya BY-DM500. It's a solid mic too.
Great review, as always. I would like to ask if the q9x worth for voice over, narration… ¿what’s the self noise like? Thanks
Blue is back!
Listening with Apple headphones on an iPhone. They all sound the exact same. Still love these videos 😂
Thats an awesome thumbnail
Can you a review of the new Rode Nt-USB+?
How's the internal shock mount? I have a Q9U on a Blue Compass arm and pics up every bump and vibration...
Where did you order yours? Was it from Amazon or B&H?
Samson Q9x vs Rode Procaster?
pls pls review fifine am8 (usb/xlr) dynamic mic. Thank you
would this be the best overall mic for under $200? i have an elgato wave 1 and im desperately looking for an upgrade going for into 2023

The Q9x looks like a longer version of the Rode Podmic

Th Q9x is a lot better than the q9u it sounds way less muddy than the Q9u but I would pick up other microphones over it

LOL bias review. The mic was given and he gave them a 9. This mic is clearly somewhere around 7. Sheesh the price, quality and features and not for a 9. Bad reviewer!

This is just so silly… I have literally ran over mics with a car that were sent to me, and I have given plenty of mics very bad reviews that were sent to me! just like your entitled to your opinion, why am I not entitled to mine? So what I like it more than you. You thought it was a 7, so clearly you still think it’s good. You know nothing about me, get outta here with that slander.
