Hopefully this will help if you are trying to choose between these popular budget priced USB mics and decide which one is the best.

The Samson C01U Pro, the Behringer C-1U and the CAD Audio U37 are all similar looking large diaphragm USB studio condenser microphones. All three microphones are plug and play studio USB condenser microphones. They are all available at a similar price point, and all are hugely popular best selling microphones. So how do you choose which one to buy?


The Samson C01U Pro USB Microphone with Headphone Amp is the newest version of the Samson C01U which was introduced in 2005, and was world’s first USB microphone. The new improved pro version is less noisy than the original, and has a headphone port so you can now direct monitor (listen to yourself while recording without latency). The C01U Pro is a large diaphragm condenser mic with supercardioid pickup pattern which makes it ideal for a home studio as it only records sound from the front of the mic. It comes with a neat little tripod desktop stand with a swivel mount that can be connected to standard microphone stand too. It doesn’t come with any software but you can purchase for $3 noise reduction software with EQ etc via the Samson site.  
It has a recording resolution of 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz and a smooth, flat frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz. The C01U Pro is a plug and play microphone with a standard USB lead and is easy to set up and use straight from the box.

The CAD Audio U37 USB Studio Condenser Mic is a large diaphragm condenser recording microphone with supercardioid pickup pattern so. It does not have a headphone output  - you cannot direct monitor what you are recording. You have to listen to recording results on your existing computer speakers or via computer heaphone port. This might lead to some latency.
It comes with a tripod desktop stand and has a recording resolution of 16 bit, 48kHz. It has a smooth extended frequency response of 20Hz - 20kHz. This microphone also has a -10dB Pad, and a roll off switch to reduce the proximity effect. It is a plug and play mic which connects directly to your computer via a mini USB lead.

Finally, the Behringer C-1U Studio Condenser Microphone is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with a standard cardioid pickup pattern. It is a recording microphone only, it has no headphone output. It does include podcasting/audio editing software in the box (Tracktion) plus there are ASIO drivers available for windows to help reduce latency when recording. This mic only comes with a swivel stand mount so you will need to purchase a stand. It has a ruler-flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz and according to the Behringer site it can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB. It is easy to connect to any computer using the standard USB lead. I found the recording quality of the Behringer mic was good, but it was very quiet and I had to really turn up the levels and get close to the mic to get anything like a decent signal.
