Compared to other microphones I've bought before this has to be one of the best. Not only did it connect to my Mac quickly and easily, it sounds fantastic. Currently using this to record dialogue and the sound quality is excellent. Not only is it pretty stylish, the touch interface to turn it on and off is a great feature. I don't try to mute the audio when I need to cough or say something into the mic. I cannot recommend this mic more highly.
