This was a well built mic, for the way it feels to hold and sing into, but I don't like the frequency response.  It's not that I want more of the clarity you often don't get with a dynamic mic, but that I feel this mic makes me sound dead and lifeless, somehow, compared to the Shure 55sh, Shure 565SD, and Shure SM58, which are the other mics I own.  I have had very good Sennheiser mics for telephone use and am sad that I don't like this one as much as those.  Still, it looks like it can survive a drop, based on the weight and metal construction.
