Title: Easy to use, great sound
Review: Love this plug-and-play mic; I leave it set up in our music room to record and listen to my practice sessions. The mic is a quality, heavy-duty product that seems to be well made. Although the stand is plastic it functions just fine. While it's not the most cheap mic of it's kind, the quality is definitely worth it. Sound is crisp and clear and the mic does a great job of capturing the sound without clipping. Volume and record level are adjustable, and monitoring while recording is a cool feature. I installed the Rode Reporter app on my phone and use it regularly. Not sure why the online ratings in Google Play Store are not great; the app was easy to set up, and using it to record is as easy as plugging the mic into my phone and hitting the record button in the app. The app creates good quality files for immediate playback. Have not tried transferring and editing files yet.

Title: Crystal Clear Audio without the Setup Headaches
Review: Really impressed with this mic's sound quality and versatility. The audio pickup is excellent - it captures clear, articulate speech even when placed at a comfortable distance on my desk. Unlike my previous microphone, I don't have to speak directly into it, which eliminates issues like breathing sounds and clothing rustling. One of its standout features is how well it filters out background noise like passing vehicles.I've successfully tested it across various Linux distributions, both on hardware and with OBS Studio in Podman containers, making it a great choice for tech-savvy users. Conversely, for the average user the plug-and-play setup is refreshingly simple.

Title: Absolutely fantastic
Review: The sound quality recorded by this mic is fantastic. It captures even the smallest of details from guitars, vocals, cajon, tambourine, eggs, oneshots, block flutes, classical flute, everything.Upon connecting to my laptop, it immediately updated the firmware and recognized the NT USB+.Ater starting my DAW, and setting up the device to be the NT USB+, everything worked perfectly. I couldn't be more pleased.The mic comes with a very nice and long heavy duty USB C cable.The wind screen isn't the greatest, but it's sufficient and should hold up well.The desk stand, while a nice sentiment, is very light weight plastic. It would have been much better if they had made it with metal to give it more stability. I tried the desk stand just to see how it was, and then I connected it to a boom mic stand.If you use the stand, I recommend you do it carefully.Lastly, on the funny side of things, I must say I believe this is the first time I've ever gotten anything that actually had branded desiccant, lol. Way to go Rode! I love it.If you're looking for a quality USB microphone, look no further. While it's on the higher price point in comparison to its nearest competitor, I've no regrets with this purchase, and I'm extra proud of the fact it's NOT MADE IN CHINA!AND, if that's not enough good news about a great product, I almost forgot to mention how this microphone is plug and play not only with my laptop, but also with my OnePlus android phone and my Samsung Galaxy S7 Plus Android tablet. On all platforms, works perfectly.

Title: Received broken
Review: Bought this for my partner who is starting to do voice over acting. The microphone that I received was not a micro USB RHODE mic and wasn't compatible with the chord that was provided with the mic. Very frustrating, as I had to purchase an additional USB adapter chord to connect to my mac and test the mic. Also the microphone that I did receive was completely damaged and did not work, something was rattling inside when I took it out of the box. I was looking forward to giving this as a gift and seeing the great reviews of RHODE mics I was very disappointed and WILL NOT BE PURCHASING AGAIN.

Title: Very clear. Easy to use. Almost perfect.
Review: I have read that the mic needs to be balanced well with the plastic stand that comes with it. When I looked t the stand, I could see why. The mic is metal and pretty heavy comparatively. Its easy to unscrew an adapter that connects the mic holder to the light stand, and without that, it is a standard size to connect to a heavier mic stand, as pictured. I also added a USB C to USB A cable, since I didn't have a USB C port available. Once these things were done, I tried it out and it really does sound perfect. Low noise, crystal clear, both for singing and for guitar. I'm very pleased with this mic.Thanks for reading. 🙂

Title: Great product, app support a little simplistic.
Review: As one would expect, it's a Rode, so it's a great microphone. Overall, I'd say it's one of the best of the better USB mics. The supporting app isn't terribly impressive, but it does give you some rudimentary filtering and sound enhancements. What's funny is this is the best part about it, as primitive as the app is. As a plug-&-play, great sounding (if a little flat) travel and meeting mic, which filters keyboard, chair and pen noise â it's perfect. If they upped the game of the app, it'd be 5-stars as it'd *almost* comparable to an NT1 without all the XLR complexity. It'd be a 5-star if it had a better app.

Review: Let me start by saying I upgraded to the Rode NT-USB+ from a Blue Yeti microphone.Easy to setup. Software is not my personal favourite but works.I personally use this for streaming and gaming - often chatting with friends in discord who have all said it sounds amazing and very professional. Great background noise cancelling and can be quite easily adjusted using software if needed.Uses a USB Type-C cable connection so can even be connected to many newer android phones, PCs, laptops, and other devices with this connection port.Has a headphone jack which can be hooked up for feedback. Aside from this, not really many physical dials on the hardware itself, but lots of features built in that can be adjusted using the software.Love the premium quality pop filter which comes with it. It works well and gives it that professional studio look. It also comes with a great stand that works well and sits at a nice angle but I have mine on a boom arm mount out of personal preference so I can move and adjust it's positioning with easy. Easy to attach to boom arm, no problems there.Definitely worth the price - comparable to many more expensive microphones on the market. Good value for money in my opinion.
