Samson Go Mic Review / Test

Today I review one of the cheapest mics I've covered that sounds fantastic. This thing is small, portable, affordable, and feature rich. It may be out dated and have a number of flaws, but if you're able to get this at a good price, and you don't have the budget or desire to go above this, I think you'll be fine.
