Good mic for the price
This is my first studio mic. I have used it for recording vox and also for recording a room for live streaming. For the vox I used the figure of 8 config which gave some nice tracks. It is not overly sensitive which is good in my environment being in a spare room of a family home. For the streaming it worked well in omni directional and I was pleasantly suprised it seperated the left and right incoming sounds so it really recorded the room not just the sound it in if you get what I mean.
I would recommend for a beginner or budget versatile mic for a number of situations. Sound I put down to 4 as I was happy with the sound but I do not have much experience. Happy it comes in a hard case with a brass screw converter too.

It's worth its weight
I bought this mic primarily for home studio use and after working with it for just over a week i feel that i can be a little more thorough reviewing it. The quality of this mic has surprised me, i was expecting recordings to sound thin without any warmth or richness and this isn't the case at all. It compares favourably to mics that are ten times its price, it has a weight to it that exudes quality. It can be switched to any of 3 pick up patterns, has a low cut filter switch and a -10db attenuation switch also making it fully adjustable for most situations. If there is a negative it's that it doesn't come with a spider although one can be purchased to fit it. It comes with its own moulded plastic case which will keep it clean and safe if being transported. I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything on the market that will record audio of this quality for this price.

Delighted with the clear mic!
I did a lot of research into condenser mics for vocals and I was skeptical at first because of the cheap price of this mic comparatively to other models. I was DELIGHTED with it! It came in a hard case, which is handy for storage. It has 3 mic pattern settings so is versatile. It has at least as good sound as some of the expensive mics costing 10 times as much. Also even if you do own an expensive mic, get one of these as a spare because they are superb!

just get one of these, you'll use it a lot
I just bought my 3rd one of these, which is probably enough on its own. The features (especially the versatility) and sound are far above its price range. The only "con" I've found after years of using this in all sorts of situations is that it's probably not the toughest mic around, but you'll have absolutely no problems if you take care of it (I destroyed 2 of them over the years but it was my fault on both occasions).

Excellent Low Cost Condenser
Sometimes You Get More Than What You Pay For!
Sturdy construction, well presented and certainly better than using my live stage / gig microphones for recording.

Quality built.
I love the sound recorded using my newly bought Harley benton guitar and of course the voice clarity was superb.
Cons: there is no cable included. I bought the 3.5mm jack and it does not work so better buy also an XLR cable separate.

The best one for an entry level mic!
It's pretty fantastic that you get three different polar patterns that you can change at will. For an amateur it really helps to decide how you are going to use the mic and understand how it responds to different scenarios. The mic is really well built, heavy and nice looking. You also get a nice plastic case with excellent cushioning inside, so your mic will last for long. Maybe it isn't the best condenser mic out in the world, but it is almost like an educational device for new users with so many settings to choose from and learn recording.
If you're looking for an entry level condenser mic - this is the one for you!

Noisy but the price saves it
I use it for general voiceovers and some basic recordings.
As many other reviews suggest it's noisy but at this price having a multipattern microphone is just great.
Better for instrument recordings or to complement some other better mics.

Great mic
I've been using these mics for some basic trumpet recording they sound awesome - with a little bit of EQ added afterwards you get an awesome section sound. A great substitute for a top quality ribbon mic if you're just starting out at a brilliant price.
