...as long as you're not expecting to sound EXACTLY like your favorite recording artist. You're not going to get that level of recording with ANY usb mic on the market. But, you WILL be able to record very clear, crisp, clean "cd quality" audio, with minimal hook-up.

It may incorporate plastics in it's design, but this is no toy. It's the perfect solution for any singer/songwriter, rap artist, or small group who needs to document their compositions or rehearsals. It's also an excellent choice for mobile producers. Whether you use the included desktop stand or mount it to a gooseneck/boom stand (contrary to what some have said, it attaches in seconds), it'll be there when creativity strikes.

The mic is indeed quite sensitive, but if you utilize the -10db switch & follow the instructions, you'll get results.

I've had NO ISSUES using this mic with Sony products (XP or 7). I've used it with standard drivers & ASIO drivers.

It gets the job done.

This, so far, is my entire studio. I didn't expect much when I got it but this has impressed me a ton. I run it through garage band and the quality is amazing. I record my acoustic on it, make a different track, record vocal, add some drums, you can really do a lot with it. I've made a lot of quality recordings with it. Very nice mic.

Microphone is too sensative, does NOT work with sony vegas or Acid Pro whatsoever, does NOT basically work with Windows Vista. This mic is the cheapest mic I've ever used, it's pretty much made of all plastic, and one drop and it's gone. Buy a shure or a rode if you want what you pay for...

First off, the stand is worthless. It feel off a desk ONTO A RUG and the leg snapped off...and it's almost impossible to find a way to mount it to a mic stand, so you're going to have to hold it constantly.

Oh yes, let's talk about the quality.

You literally have to hold the mic at an arms length to talk normally into it, or else it sounds like you're screaming into it. It picks up WAY TOO MUCH, and if you are using windows vista you cannot edit the sensitivity, you will get an error message every time. (happened on two different vista computers)

This microphone is buggy, way too buggy for it's price, and not worth the money. Please, PLEASE, save up for something better.

picks up way too much for my taste. it seemed ok to start out with tho. i gave it away because i didnt need a usb mic anymore.
