      Overall this a great little mic if you need some small for voice.
      Pros:
      Small size
      High quality nylon and aluminum construction
      Simple magnetic base
      Strong headphone amplifier built in, able to drive many headphones, including those with higher impedance like the MDR V6 at 53ohms
      Compact and portable
      Solid USB C connection with a quality, adequate length included cable

      Cons:
      Limited to 96khz. People debate this, but 192khz does often sound a bit better to me, though it's not necessary.
      Somewhat high noise floor - the mic can sound a bit sizzly
      Included stand is very low, and easily picks up background noise. Depending on your use case you'll almost definitely need to pick up a separate stand that brings the mic within 6 inches of your mouth to take advantage of the proximity effect. You can get an aftermarket stand for not too much money, but frankly I'm not sure why they included such a short stand.
      Depending on your voice timbre, it can sound somewhat flat and 'robotlike'. This is more a personal problem for since I have a very monotone voice. Different mics can make it sound better.
      Overall, for the money you really can't go wrong. It's far better than any included headset mic, the headphone amp is very good, and it also sounds pretty decent for acoustic guitar.

      I do a lot of telehealth online work as a mental health therapist, and I have been trying to find a mic that I can mount on an arm, that sounds good, and doesn't pick up so much extra noise especially since I have a train that goes by fairly close. I tried a few mics to include the most recent Shure MV7, and all just didn't cut it. Even with the Shure MV7 which is a supposedly great podcasting mic, no bueno. No matter the settings it picked up any movement on my desk making the other person think I was constantly in an earthquake or something. Not to mention some mics work with windows in a weird synchronous way where the mic gets auto adjusted and it is unfixable.

      But this Rode NT USB Mini is a life saver! The quality is so freaking good, it doesn't pickup any excess noise, and it mounts beautifully. I finally have quality studio sound when working with clients where any distracting noise is a deal breaker. The price is ridiculously low for the quality! Why they aren't charging more I'll never know. But it now if you are even remotely thinking about it.

      The first thing that comes to mind when handling this microphone is its weight. This little guy is deceptively heavy. That's due to its all metal framework. I'll never try it, but it really does feel like that if I tossed the mic across the room it wouldn't receive even a tiny scratch. Really impressive build quality for the price.

      For just $100 I wasn't expecting very much in the way of sound quality but I can say that it makes my friends, all of which own Blue products and other overpriced microphones, quite jealous. The way this mic handles plosives is great. A built in pop filter adds some serious value to an already excellently valued product. The sound is also crystal clear. What you hear through audio monitoring is also what the mic output sounds like. No dips or hiccups when it comes to output.

      The one complaint I do have about the overall package is its desk stand. While the desk stand is somehow ALSO tanky as hell, along with bearing a magnetic mount, It's always better to invest in a microphone arm. There are plenty of cheap ones on amazon, but given the fact that this microphone is EXTREMELY sensitive, I recommend buying a quality microphone arm with some sort of shock mount or pad to dampen vibration as the desk moves.

      Also buyer beware: This microphone has only one polar pattern and lacks the multiple polar patterns that more expensive microphones have. That being said, this microphone was designed specifically for casual use, but delivers the cardioid polar pattern just as good as competing brands. If this is a deal breaker for you, I apologize.

      Otherwise, the RODE NT USB MINI is a fantastic low cost, highest quality option for people in the market for such a thing. Whether it be for studio recording, streaming, or just sweaty gaming. This little monster does it all better than the rest.

      I am not a professional. I just needed a mic that would not pick up background noise like the heater or air conditioner. I am very pleased with the RØDE NT-USB Mini Versatile Studio-quality Condenser USB Microphone. Also, I didn't want to spend a lot of money(less than $100). This was perfect. I am recording an audio class(es) and just needed the voice to sound clear. This mic definitely does that. My voice sounds much better than I expected. It picks up a wide range of frequencies, so my voice doesn't sound "tinny", as some of the less expensive mics do. It was supper easy to hook up. I use audacity and noticed that I need to turn the mic on before opening or audacity won't "see" the microphone. Not a problem. I would definitely buy it again.

      Me encantó, la calidad que promete es fantástica para el precio. Vale mucho la pena. Me funcionó a la primera en mi computadora, y en el celular parece que no prende pero una vez que sacas la cámara y grabas funciona de maravilla, al igual que en discord y también con la grabadora de voz del teléfono. (Vi que algunos comentaron que no les funcionó en el teléfono, pero como referencia el mio es Samsung y use un cable usb-c a usb-c y a la primera me funcionó.)

      O microfone realmente cumpre o que promete, tendo um bom alcance cardioide, posso coloca-lo contra uma fonte de ruído que deixa muito fácil a remoção deste nos softwares de edição de áudio (Uso o Adobe Audition para a pós produção).
      Não tive problemas de compatibilidade com nenhum software e sistema operacional, não ocupa espaço físico, muito bom de equalizar na pós produção e aprimorar frequências tanto graves como médio graves e até mesmo agudos.
      O retorno da voz é excelente também, muito fácil de ser configurado e ideal para ajuste de posição seja do microfone quanto minha (locutor).
      Recomendo!

      MIkrofony przyszły meg szybko i w super cenie. Zostały podpite do aplikacji i można było szybko i sprawnie nagrać podcast. Mam problme jeszcze z ich ustawieniem na 100% ale to berdziej kwestia miejsca niż samych mikrofonów. Szkoda, że nie mają filtra odcięcia pasma ale rozumiem, że od tego jest model NT USB + a nie mini :) Do podcastów dla gości super sprawa polecam

      5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo microfono, ma richiede qualche configurazione iniziale!

      Dopo aver testato diversi microfoni, posso finalmente dire di aver trovato quello giusto. Il Rode NT Mini si è dimostrato un prodotto di alta qualità, anche se richiede qualche accortezza in più all’inizio per funzionare al meglio.

      Prima di arrivare a questo modello, ho provato il Tonor da 30€ e il NearStream da 79€, che offre tre modalità audio (monodirezionale, cardioide e unidirezionale). Mi aspettavo molto di più dal NearStream, ma purtroppo le modalità aggiuntive non hanno migliorato la qualità del suono, che rimaneva abbastanza mediocre per il prezzo, tanto che ho deciso di restituirlo.

      Dopo questa delusione, ho deciso di investire nel Rode NT Mini, sperando in un notevole salto di qualità. Tuttavia, collegandolo al PC, inizialmente la resa era simile a quella del Tonor economico e, anzi, il volume era persino più basso. Non mi sono scoraggiato e ho deciso di installare il software Rode per configurarlo al meglio. Ammetto che l’installazione non è stata semplicissima, ma ciò dipende dal mio computer che fatica a installare i pacchetti .msi.

      Una volta superate queste difficoltà, ho finalmente visto (anzi, sentito) la differenza: l’audio è diventato eccezionale, con una chiarezza e profondità che mancavano negli altri microfoni. Grazie alle varie opzioni di configurazione, come il guadagno in dB e la cancellazione del rumore, è possibile regolare il microfono per adattarlo alle proprie esigenze.

      Unico punto debole: il Rode NT Mini funziona solo se il software è avviato, quindi ogni volta che si riconnette il microfono bisogna fare attenzione a riavviarlo. Tuttavia, considerando la qualità finale dell’audio e la versatilità nelle impostazioni, questo microfono merita assolutamente le 5 stelle.

      Conclusione: Se cercate una qualità audio professionale e non avete problemi a dedicarvi a una piccola configurazione iniziale, il Rode NT Mini è un’ottima scelta.
