Great mic. I bought this mic because I saw how popular it was and figured as a musician and song writer I needed this in my life. It has not disappointed. It is currently my favorite mic out of my 3 mics in my studio. But, really, all 3 sound just about as good (compared to a Shure SM57-LC and a Sennheiser mic I bought a long time ago). I think the reason I give this one an edge as favorite is because I like how it looks. I like how it looks on camera. I've written a few songs with this using it for vocals, guitars, bass guitars, percussion, ukulele, and egg shakers. Everything went as expected. Never once were any of my struggles due to poor performance of the microphone.
