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 – 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.

I’ve wanted to upgrade my microphone for quite a bit and decided to go with this one instead of going with the pod mic. Why? Let me tell you.
I currently share this mic with my girlfriend and I needed something that could move back and forward between mine and her computer (both macs).
But here is where the only real issue appeared (reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5).
It brinda and usb c to usb a cable, that works great when connected directly to my Mac Studio.
But when connected to dongles or an adapter from usb A to usb C, it gave static every once in a while.
Also when I used a great amount of usb C to usb C cables the same issue happened.
The only usb C cable that I was able to use without any static was the original apple usb c to usb c cable from my MacBook Pro.
So, be aware that not all cables will work flawlessly.
Also, a different mic stand needs to be purchased because it has to be close to your mouth (a fist of distance) and with someone big as me (1.87 mts) the mic stand that it brings is way too small.
Quality wise is just amazing, those were the only two issues I had.
Recommended purchase.

This mic is pretty good. I’m surprised how much noise it doesn’t pickup compared to the cheap mics I’m used to. The main problem is you need to keep it close to your mouth, so you’ll need a stand or something to keep it by your mouth.

The Rose NT-mini is a great mix for hobby podcasters or anyone looking for a quality mic in a small package. The sound is great for the size and is really to plug and play. The zero latency monitoring does a poor job of giving you an accurate idea of how your audio is being recorded. The Rose Connect software is absolutely horrible and not worth your time.

Easy to set up and format.

Wie gewohnt von der Marke Rode ausgezeichnete Qualität. Mir gefällt, dass das Mikrofon auch immer dezent blau leuchtet.

音質がスタジオ品質というだけあって、打ち合わせの音声通話では相手によく聞こえている模様。
ライブ配信や歌とか歌ってもいいんじゃないかな。
ただ、24bitだからホラゲーで絶叫したりすると割れることもあるかもね。
ちなみに10～15cmが最適距離らしい。
これは裏に3.5mmのヘッドホン端子があって、イヤホン・ヘッドホンも挿せるからこれ１つで事足りるのがいいね。
ちなみに本体前面に付いている丸いのはヘッドホンの音量制御ノブ＋自分の声が聞こえるようになるモニターモードの切り替えボタン。
そう。これはマイクではなくヘッドホンの音量。
ただ、一番小さくしても音消えないし、固くて回しにくい。
あと強いて言えば、この端子の音質はクソ悪いから音楽とか聞くために使うものではないね。
仕事に使うマイクとか正直どうでもいい私にとってはサイズ的にはこれでもまだデカすぎるけど、大きすぎず小さすぎずといった良いサイズ感だと思う。
机に置いて使えるようになっているけど、スタンドは磁石で固定されていて簡単に外せる。
外してマイク側のゴムを外すとマイクアームとかに取り付けられるようにもなっている。
ちなみにこの磁石が結構強いので、ディスプレイとかパソコンとか磁石に弱い機器には近づけないほうがいい。

The RØDE NT-USB+ microphone offers a blend of quality and affordability, though it does have its quirks.
Pros:
Setting up as a beginner was a breeze, which was a big relief. 🎤👍
The microphone’s build quality is satisfying, exuding a sense of durability. 💪🎤
While it can be a bit finicky at times, overall, it reliably captures audio. 🎵🔊
It boasts a sleek and professional appearance, making it a stylish addition to any desk setup. 👌💼
The included pop filter, though not top-tier, gets the job done. It’s a decent addition. 🎙️🔵
The provided USB C cable to USB C is generously long, offering flexibility in positioning. 🌟🔌
Setting up with Windows was a breeze, providing a smooth initial experience. 🖥️👌
Cons:
The holder component is made of a somewhat unattractive, cheaper plastic. While functional, it could use an aesthetic upgrade. 🪶🚫
The ergonomics of the holder are not particularly comfortable, and it’s a tad on the short side. An area for improvement. 🤔📏
Upon arrival, mine had some scratches on the sides. It’s a minor cosmetic issue to expect. 🛠️🧐
This microphone is on the heavier side, making handheld operation impractical. 🏋️♂️🙅♂️
Connecting with iOS proved to be a bit of a challenge, even for someone tech-savvy. 📲🔧
Conclusion:
For its price point and the reputation of RØDE, the NT-USB+ is a solid choice. It’s a dependable option for beginners, and the company’s focus on sound technology is reassuring. While it performs admirably overall, there’s room for improvement in the pop filter and holder. If it fits your budget, it’s definitely worth considering. 🎙️💰

Flawless! A trusted brand that produces quality every time. I have nothing but good things to say. It works well, the sound quality is spot on and is well made.

Perhaps audio output is a redundant feature in 2023. Nobody uses wired headphones for this kind of setup (a good tradeoff between quality and convenience => no need for the best-quality headphones), but when I plug it in, in many apps it switches the primary audio source. Instead, this knob should change the volume of the mic with the ability to turn it off.

This mic is amazing because of how well it captures your voice, especially when you are super close to it. The only issue that I had was that since it was a condenser mic, it picks up everything including my loud keyboard. But really other than that it’s a great, Mic.

Super Mikrofon. Wird von iPhone 15 Pro und auch vom Windows PC sofort erkannt. Es gibt super gratis Software dafür und diese Funktioniert auch ohne Probleme.

Faccio molte call e sono spesso in giro, quindi cercavo una buona alternativa che non sfigurasse ma che fosse molto portatile. Sono rimasto molto sorpreso, perché il suono è nitidissimo e onestamente è anche figo esteticamente. La basetta magnetica risulta super comoda, e onestamente lo preferisco anche al più famoso podmic. Poi l’attacco cuffia con relativo controllo volume sono veramente un’idea ottima.
Mi aspettavo di meno e ho avuto di più.
