Great Mic Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This Microphone is great especially for the price even though I overpaid about $30.00 for mine at Guitar Center. This microphone retails for about $69.00 online at most reputable online stores. This microphone is great for the money it can’t be beat, great sound and very good looks. The response foe the microphone is great especially for those with a deep voice. The microphone tends to bring out the clarity and frequency response that is lacking in deeper lower frequency voices. The brilliance is certainly there and for the money I certainly do not regret my purchase.

You will not get the sound of a PR-40 or electro Voice RE-20, RE27 but this microphone is a completely different microphone than those are. Again if you are looking for a cheaper microphone that doesn’t sound like one this is the microphone for you. Not only does it sound good but it has some density and weight to it and it looks real nice. It also comes with an included shock mount which again looks real nice. So, if you want to spend more money $350-$600 than go for the above mentioned PR-40 or RE-20/27 but in this price range, this microphone can’t be beat.
