    Very good mic to get when starting out I wouldn’t recommend using in places with a lot background noise because it will pick it up.

    Great mic if you can’t afford a whole mixer setup. And since it’s mostly plug and play you won’t need a lot of help if you are stuck on something

    Love this microphone! I have had both a blue snowball and an audiotechnica microphone, and out of the box this wipes away the competiotion! The sound clarity and profile did not require any modification. I would recommend this microphone to anyone looking for a plug and play solution.

    This mic requires some setup and knowledge of audio routing and pc sound settings. It's not a good "1st mic". That being said, if you don't mind setting it up you have a very powerful piece of equipment. You don't get this level of control with any other piece of software or mic.

    Good microphone with great software. I had another usb mic before this, but the software really helped me split out my audio they way I wanted.
