Very happy with the purchase! I considered this mic for years and finally decided to pick it up after reading more about it. I sang and recorded and was frustrated when I noticed hiss/distortion during playback when playing big high notes and lacking the warmth and nuance I was sure of. I tried this mic for the first time last night and it captured everything perfectly! My voice sounded the way I felt and heard it sing! And the mic I use, a Pyle I bought about 5 years ago, had some rave reviews comparing it to the likes of this mic. No way! Not at all! Shure SM58 is incredibly better! The price is great too. It's worth a lot more to me. Love it!
