    Superb clarity.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Excellent audio quality. Very good details that it picks up on. Great for vocals. Just make sure your room is sound treated, as it goes for any other condenser microphone.

    beautiful quality mic

    I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he said “If you like having fun with your voice, making harmonies and hearing each note exactly as u sung them without the distortion then this mic is a great choice. Even with very loud production my voice still cuts through which is hard to accomplish with a lot of other mics ive had.”

    Best diaphragm, microphone, hands-down!

    If you’re looking for a good microphone as an artist, or for just podcasts in general, this is a great microphone! It’s a condenser microphone, so it picks up all the audio and a 180° angle in front of it. Now for some podcasts it’s probably better to get a dynamic microphone as dynamic microphones do not pick up all audio in the room only audio that is in front of it! But if you’re a music artist like me, you wanna pick up all the tones in your voice all the highs so it contents or microphone is the best decision and rode Hands-down always knows what they’re doing. Like I said, don’t miss out this is by far the best microphone for the price for anyone looking to get into music making!

    Great Microphone

    I’m loving this microphone. It’s well made and the sound is good and the ability to configure the onboard controls is nice. I also like that it’ll do 32 bit float, though I haven’t used that yet. One disappointment was that the description makes it sound like you can use XLR and USB at the same Tim, but you can’t. The USB-C connection is inside the XLR connection so it’s impossible to connect both simultaneously.
