Revainrating 2 out of 5

The price is right, but the product is disappointing

The microphone works, the body is solid, the pop filter is good. I'm not keen on the armature, which doesn't really hold the mic securely in a useful position. And the USB-B cable that came with my system is obviously defective - it doesn't latch properly when plugged into a port on my computer and tends to briefly disconnect on impact. Sometimes I hear a high-pitched screeching in the background, which is probably also due to a bad connection. In general. I think it's a regular mic, but since the armature is rubbish I could probably do the same thing with a snowball mic or something, and it doesn't look like other people describe (plus I have all my USB-B cable a few years ago, so I'll have to buy a replacement).

Pros
  • I always liked it
Cons
  • Negative impression
