    Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. They say that it has a strong, rich sound, and doesn't even sound recorded.

    Good for an amateur
    Full disclosure: I'm not a audio technician or a professional musician. I bought this to use in conjunction with Audacity and FL Studio for my passion projects.I've been really pleased with this microphone. It plugs into your computer through USB. The mic sounds great and is quite sensitive. I don't stream, but I've tried using this to game with some friends over Skype and they could hear my keyboard pretty loudly. I've used this mic with a stand and a pop filter to record vocals and acoustic guitar. Like I said, I'm not a professional, but the sound quality is amazing to me. The blue light that glows when the mic is connected looks cool, too.There are a couple things I don't like about this microphone, but they are pretty minor and frankly, the excellent sound quality of this mic overshadows them. The first thing is that I'm not a huge fan of the mechanism use to connect to a mic stand. It screws on, but with the weight of the mic sometimes the mic stand is difficult to balance. I feel like some kind of clipping mechanism would be more versatile and useful. The mic is also kind of heavy, but maybe that's just the sign of a quality mic.I have to give 5/5 stars for the sound quality. It works great for a hobby musician. I imagine it would also be good for a home podcast, or for a videographer that needs high quality voice-over for their films or Youtube videos.
