It is one of the few quality condenser mics that can plug directly into the iPad and work without external power. I tried a larger Marshall USB mic and it required a powered camera adapter -- that can be a pain, if you're trying to record where an outlet is not easily available.
The mic itself has some nifty features, like the (almost) zero-latency headphone jack with adjustable mix b/w headphones and playback, a fairly easy-to-use gain setting dial, and it's much-bragged-about built-in compression. That feature is much more important for broadcast/podcast use. For voice-over, many clients want to be able to go back to raw signal and hardware compression means the "original" signal has been messed with on input. But, for a recent promo-style VO, the lowest compression setting worked well for me, and it's easy enough to turn off.
The mic quality itself is really pretty darned good. It's good enough for professional work. I haven't compared it to my highest-end mics, but it did the job.
One thing it's missing -- that Apogee doesn't provide with any of its mics -- is a shock mount. They provide a tripod with a ball mount (very adjustable and solid), but you can easily get low-end rumble transmitted from mic handling or vibration of a table or floor. I did experiment, and the Rycote InVision USM-L (or USM) can be used, so there is a viable option. But that's another ~$70. Overall (and because I already have the Rycote), I've found it to be a valuable mic to have and I'm glad I bought it. It's not cheap, but it's high-quality & sometimes you get what you pay for.

Updated review: I have used it in Logic Pro X to record by vocals!!! Yess!!!! I love it.. it has Vo press ion built in so using an interface is really not necessary. Excellent quality mic for singers/ vocals… home studio … you will definitely be impressed!!!!

I'm satisfied with this purchase, but I would invest in a RODE mic if the company would release a USB version with an audio gain control knob that I could control.

Ich wollte nur sagen das ist am bester mic welche hatte ich dabei ! Vielen Dank
Si presenta bene, bello e solido. È plug and play e non necessita di schede audio esterne.
Lo uso per registrare voci e chitarre acustiche e la resa è deludente. Il microfono è molto sensibile ma ha la qualità di dinamici da karaoke. Le compressioni tirano su un sacco di rumori di fondo. Blind test fatti con microfonici più economici inviati ad amici esperti di home recording mi hanno convinto di rimandarlo indietro.
