Not the best choice
I wasn't pleased with this mic's performance, it tended to give a lisping sound to my S's. At first I thought it was my post production, but after checking it out, I found it was the mic. And it pops even with a pro pop filter on. You can't talk directly into this mic and expect it to sound good. I found myself moving the mic higher up away from my mouth to avoid pops. This in turned added to the lisp and a nasal sound. I took this mic for a real run and with some practice you can get a good sound out of it but that's just it, it's more work than its worth.
Also on my laptop it would pick up all sorts of background hissing, I had to use a noise gate to fix it. There are far better USB mics out there for the money. Also there are no drivers shipped with it or software and you will NOT be able to monitor you recordings unless your recording application supports its.
If you want a good sounding mic for a fair price then try the Audio Technica AT3035 condenser microphone. Its far better and worth it for entry to mid level recording.
GREAT deal!!
This microphone is great. The sound quality is fantastic and it is very sensitive. Make sure you have a quiet room! I sing in church and was asked to make a cd of the songs I have sung. I didn't know what I was doing but this mic made even me sound good! A good mic for a reasonable cost. Give it a try.
cheap and excellent
record voices with good quality, is portable becouse is USB sooo cool for Enjoy The Beat!!!
