Price tag does not always mean better, and the Samson Q9U tries to straddle the border between professional-grade sound and budget pricing. Whether that’s your profession (vocalist, podcaster, or content producer) or your hobby (storyteller, singer/songwriter or gamer), you need a clear, strong voice to give to the world.
