The Likes:
> Very well built. It portrays why microphones need not be so expensive!
> I have tried some good brands to conclude that expensive brands score high numbers in certain areas that are only numbers (to feel good about and brag); most people cannot make sense of those numbers in their listening.
> I am a teacher; speaking from a comfortable distance (without leaning onto the microphone) is important. This microphone allows me to do just that.
> Another good feature is you have to speak to the front of the mic instead of the side. This feature is so important for your ergonomy! This enables the microphone to stand on a corner of your desktop at 45 degrees (outside of the camera frame). The boomstick is not at all required! I can finally have a clutter-free desktop.
> The microphone has some buttons on one of its sides. With other mics, you must place the driver towards you, so there is one preferred orientation. But with this one, you can place the mic in any orientation you like (buttons up or down); it only has to be at an angle that projects the grills toward you or your face (no need to be too exact!)
> The microphone packs some great features; the echo is unique to this one only! When recording music and/or singing, this cannot be beaten!
> Using a "C" type USB connection for the input makes it more accurate, easy and fun.
Dislikes:
> The packaging is below average. I hope they will improve this in future. A product of this quality deserves better packaging, period.
> The windscreen is below average and is easily deformed; I never use it.
> The video was confusing: it says, "This microphone is capable of rotating 360 deg on its integrated heavy-duty desktop base". This statement gave me the impression that the microphone can rotate on a horizontal plane on the base. They also show the microphone rotating horizontally in the video! Not to take anything away, but the fact is, it rotates a full 360 degrees on the vertical plane!
Recommend?
> Absolutely! You cannot be wrong with this choice if you only care about podcasts, gaming, internet calling and amateur music recording without delving into useless numbers!
> Just so nobody gets it wrong, this may not be a studio-quality microphone for professional music recording.
