Ultra-portable USB condenser microphone
The Samson Meteorite is a chrome-finished condenser microphone that connects directly via USB. Smaller than a golf ball, it fits in a laptop bag or pocket and requires no driver installation on Mac, PC or iPad and iPhone with an adapter. A 14 mm diaphragm captures voice with a sensitivity of 52 decibels and a signal-to-noise ratio of 80 decibels, delivering a clear upgrade over built-in laptop microphones for calls and streaming.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
Travellers, remote workers and streamers who need a grab-and-go microphone for Zoom, Teams or Discord will appreciate the plug-and-play simplicity and the removable magnetic base that rotates 360 degrees for precise aiming. Buyers who require XLR connectivity, hardware gain control, multiple polar patterns or a built-in headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring should consider a larger desktop or studio microphone instead.
Capacity and headroom
The single 14 mm condenser capsule handles close-range speech and quiet room ambience cleanly thanks to the 80 dB signal-to-noise ratio. It runs out of headroom when recording loud sources such as drums or amplified instruments, and the fixed cardioid response cannot be switched to omnidirectional or figure-8 for group recordings or room capture.

Questions about this item
Does this microphone need any extra power adapter or phantom-power supply to run?
No. It draws all the power it needs from the USB connection so you can plug it straight into a Mac, PC or iPad with the appropriate adapter.
Will the 14 mm condenser capsule pick up my mechanical keyboard if I keep it on the same desk?
The magnetic base lets you rotate the mic 360 degrees and point the cardioid pattern away from the keyboard, cutting the keystroke bleed you would get with a built-in laptop mic.
How can I verify the microphone is capturing clean audio once I have it plugged in?
Open your sound settings, watch the input meter while speaking, and listen for a noise floor that stays well below your voice — the 80 dB signal-to-noise ratio means background hiss should be barely audible.
