" ... Stand is actually a lot sturdier than I thought it was when I opened the box. ... "

When I got this I was pleasantly surprised, for under 30 dollars it has an excellent metal build quality, even the mesh around the mic itself is high quality, and to be honest it looks much better on my desk than the snowball ever did! ... The stand it comes in is nice as well, and the cable is super thick and sturdy which I always appreciate. ... "
" ... I feel like they could have given us a better stand. ... "
" ... It is really, really nicely put together, and all of the components are high quality. ... "

" ... Worked at first, but a few months it's gone deaf. ... "
" ... Ive tried every way possible to fix and I have had no luck. ... "

" ... not working at all ... "
" ... While it seemed to work fine for the first 2 weeks after I received it, it began emitting a high pitched whine whenever I connected it to the PC and any recording done with it would be plagued with static to the point where you could barely hear anything that I was recording. ... "

" ... but now it just doesn't register when its plugged into my TASCAM US-4X4, unlike my shotgun mic using the same port and wire! ... "
" ... When it arrived, the microphone (or possibly its cable) was totally dead. ... "
" ... The USB audio card it comes with has a really flimsy cable and connection will sometimes disconnect if moves. ... "
" ... The mic itself looks nice, the windscreen is likely useless, the mount is ok and the cable is an XLR to 1/8" stereo - not sure what that's all about. ... "
" ... I suspect my mic's issue could be either in the mic itself or in the cable. ... "
" ... Came wrong cords ... "
" ... I got this and it immediately broke it didnt work at all and immediately the wire broke. ... "
" ... The microphone itself is nice, especially for the price but the cords are so cheaply made that they barely stay plugged in. ... "

" ... my problem that hit the mic recently was the XLR port. ... "
" ... but now it just doesn't register when its plugged into my TASCAM US-4X4, unlike my shotgun mic using the same port and wire! ... "
" ... I would not recommend using a usb adapter. ... "
" ... At first I just assumed one of the cords being used to connect the mic to the PC/phantom power supply had gone bad so I spent another $20 in replacing the various cords that came with the mic but even after all that it still continued to be unusable meaning it was just a faulty mic. ... "
" ... I had to make 2 other orders for a power supply and then a cable with a USB port to use on my computer it was irritating. ... "
" ... So this is supposed to work plugged straight to the desktop but not for me. ... Also, reviews says it came with a USB dongle but mine didnt!!!! ... "
" ... I suspect my mic's issue could be either in the mic itself or in the cable. ... "
" ... But the included cable and USB dongle are garbage. ... "
