Who should consider it?
The Q2U provides a simple USB starting point and an XLR output for a later interface. You do not need to buy that interface immediately. Choose the connection you can use now and assess microphone position before adding more hardware.
Check the exact version
The Amazon listing contains unrelated bullet metadata, so the microphone capabilities here are checked against Samson documentation instead. Verify package contents, connector revision and seller details before buying older or imported stock.
Fit it into your setup
A handheld-style dynamic microphone works best when the desk arrangement lets you speak near it consistently. The supplied small stand is convenient to begin with, but it may not be the right height behind a large keyboard.
