Samson XPD2 Lavalier USB Digital Wireless System

The sounds amazing!

I bought this to do some easy web videos via my iPhone. I work in broadcast engineering for a career, but this application is just for fun. I did not want to spend a lot of money but I wanted it to sound decent. This unit is the ticket, with a few caveats- 1) the stock mic isn’t that great. The iPhone built in mic sounds much better. I found that if you purchase the JK MIC-J 044 Lapel Microphone Lavalier Microphone (Amazon), the quality is drastically improved and almost perfect. The mic is $30 (BTW, in the broadcast world, all of this is very cheap. $1500+ is typical for pro event wireless mics). 2) this uses the license-free 2.4 GHz band, the same band that your wifi and Bluetooth devices use. As a result, if you go far away from the receiver or use this say in a crowded venue, you won’t be able to go far without hearing some audio hits. If you are close to the receiver (within 15’) or in an open area that is not super packed, you’ll be fine. Finally, if you’re using this with an iPhone, you’ll need an Apple lightning to USB adapter. Buy the genuine Apple. Chinese knockoffs are problematic.

I like the product. It works well and was very easy to connect to my laptop for Zoom calls. But I have an intermittent short in the microphone component. How can I get a replacement part?

If you like, crackling audio and dropped words from your podcast and/or videos, this is the mic for you.I have tried so hard to make this Mic! I have purchased two of them in hopes that maybe the first one was faulty. However, the second one is equally as bad.At times it works, and even it does I love it because it’s so small and it’s so easy to conceal. However, it’s become so unreliable. I am done! I’ve wasted so much time on creating wonderful podcast only to find out that there’s crackling throughout. Beyond frustrating!

I've been using this lavalier mic for Zoom and MS Team calls for most likely a year now. I have had very little problems with it. The connection is good and never loses sync (however, I am just a few feet from the USB piece that plugs right into the computer. This microphone is a good balance between the cheap computer mics and the expensive podcasting type microphones. Not only that, but if you need to move about, you have the freedom to do so.

I've used this product multiple times in a training environment and it mostly works OK. If there are people in between the speaker and receiver it has a tendency to interrupt the connection briefly causing drops in the sound. The last time it was used was outside and the connection quality was horrible. I replaced the unit with a SGPRO UHF dual wireless remote mic here on amazon with much better results. It was $20 more and came with a second mic, so it was well worth the extra cost.

I stream on Twitch and already have a halfway decent streaming setup including an AT2020USB+ mic (decent mid tier mic for streaming or podcasting once you noise gate it so it quits trying to pick up Martian farts). But being a variety streamer I also do art & stuff so I wanted to take my stream outside to do epoxy resin art. That means I need both hands and no more wires tangling me up. This mic did that beautifully. It sounds great, has amazing range (I forgot to mute and my stream got to listen to me trying and failing at flirting with the pizza delivery girl way down my driveway out in the street) and the battery life is amazing. The quality, even being a wireless mic, is on par with many other wired $100-$200 options out there. It's legit comparable to an AT2020 or a Blu Yeti. A lot of folks haven't even noticed when I switch from my Audio Technica to this.

I use this mic to enhance the audio on my livestream videos. I do online livestream fitness videos and the sound is crisp, loud and clear. It works very well and my clients even commented on how great it all sounds.Super easy to connect - plug and play - simply plug in the USB into your computer, turn on the mic box which you attach somewhere on your body and it automatically pairs instantly out of the box.The sound is professional and would suit any type of use including commercial in my opinion.I highly recommend this product and I would buy again in a heart beat.
