OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about this mic is the USB Plug and Play connectivity for fast digital recording, I also must mention Integrated pre-amp with Microphone Gain Control and another great feature of this product that is Zero Latency Monitoring for real-time tracking and playback.
I also do like Headphone jack for monitoring with 1/8 inch connectivity and the Monitor Mix Control for blending microphone and playback audio and other details like 16 bit, up to 48 kHz sample rate and the fact that is compatible with Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and Mac OS X (10.1 or later).

My genuine opinion about the value of the price is great, this product costs around 250 $ and it's very well made and the easy to use is extremely helpful even for those that aren't very into hardware.

Precision and quality of sound is great, I like the color captured by this microphone, the timbre and texture of the voice stays intact which is really handy if you're making more pop or soul music.

I've tried different models before this product, and I think is a good product that provided a high-quality regarding the sound capture and the material that this product is made of. However I would suggest trying some of AKG usb microphone products which I think are better and sound better.

Knowing what I know I don't think I would buy this product over and over again, mainly because I think that you can get a better deal than this , you can spend less money and get a better quality and better microphones , and also I must mention that I don't really like the design of this product.
