Whoa. The Yeti has the most powerful, full-bodied bass I've heard from any recording mic. If there's a Samson that can compare, it's more likely to be the C01 or the C02U rather than this relatively lightweight, introductory studio mic (which admittedly gets high ratings from pro reviewers). And above the above Samson's (both heavy, well-built mics) are the G-Track models (I'd look seriously at the black Pro version of the G-Track). One knock against the Meteor, which makes some sense to me, is that those built-in tripod legs are not always easy to position. In the studio, the announcer may find himself bending over at an awkward angle to hit the fat part of the diaphragm. The C01 and 2 work well with a floor stand or overhead arm.

SAMSON Microphone USB Studio Condenser Meteor Mic

SAMSON Microphone USB Studio Condenser Meteor Mic

Q: Does this work on Windows 8?

Yes it works with Windows 8. I am running Windows 8.1 Enterprise and it was just plug and play, no additional drivers needed. You may have to tell your computer or application what microphone you want it to use.

Q: Does this work on Windows 10?

Yes, I have been using it on Windows 10 for about a week.

Q: Can this be used with ipad mini?

Using Apple's Camera Connexion Kit for iPad ($26.99), I had no trouble connecting this microphone to my iPad. For your IPad mini, i believe you will need the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (MD821ZM/A) ($29). HOWEVER, you should know that the microphone itself does not have a gain adjustment knob, so all the gain adjustment (matching the microphone sensitivity to how loud what you are recording is) must be done in the recording software you are using on the iPad. Many, but not all of the recording apps offer a gain adjustment control (Garage band does), and adjusting the gain in software is not always convenient. Some apps won't let you adjust the gain once you started recording. . . Practically speaking, if this is to record speech, it's a non-issue. On the other hand, if you are recording music (particularly loud music) you may want a "real" gain control knob. As far as I know, the only two microphones that have a gain knob AND work with iPads are the Spark Digital by Blue Microphones, and the Mic by Apogee; they are both $200 microphones. Hope that helps
