Review: High functioning no-frills powerhouse. - After falling for the hype and buying a Shure, I wish I could go back in time and get this instead. I'm a mere mortal and not out here being a sound studio buff who needs the best of the best, but I feel like, for me, I got it with this microphone at this price. Less than half the price of the one I had before and sounds just as good. No annoying software to download, no frills, no headache. Just a very solid high quality microphone that fits most people's budget. It's functional, high quality, and I don't think I'll steer off of this brband for a while. This microphone has been recommended to me for years and I'm glad I finally grabbed it.
Review: High Quality, very sensitive - Sound quality is very good and no internal noise or anything. Keep in mind that it is very sensitive, you need a fairly quiet room. It picks up keyboard presses and mouse clicking very easily. Personally I like to hear these types of noises in my recordings and I don't have to talk loudly for it to pick up my voice. But if you are going for a more professional sound you will probably need a very quiet room and put it closer to your mouth so that you can turn down the gain. You also obviously need an xlr cable and an audio interface since it is not usb. The microphone feels very quality and fairly durable, not too heavy. Overall an extremely good value for the money condenser mic that should last a long time.
