Great quality for it's price

Crystal, futuristic sounds. I found it's great to record female vocal in those modern electronic pop songs, or even certain hip-hop rapper. Though it still can't beat those high-end microphone. Consider it's price, it's still a great microphone

Great mic for it's price

I love this mic and have used it a lot for acoustic guitars and vocals. In my opinion (and I'm really not a sound or recording expert, more of a composer/songwriter) it sounds great, especially for the price. But it's a somewhat specific sound: warm, without as much headroom and not as neutral as the more expensive Blue models like the dragonfly etc.
