The microphone and its kit are compact and distinct. I was personally quite happy with the quality of the sound - I use the unit as an all-purpose vocal microphone, both for singing and for speech.
2 or 3 years into almost daily use, however, the microphone starting "acting up" - e.g. it randomly stopped working from time to time, thus the lower quality rating. With the Thomann warranty, it was no trouble getting a replacement though. Hopefully it won't suffer from the same issue.
