Works well, good for price

The base is pretty heavy, but it also means that the mike stand is pretty stable so that's not that bad.

The height of the stand is easy to adjust and it stays in place once its done, it doesn't slide.

Overall : great purchase (especially for the price)

Striking look for a good price

I love this stand! It's very stable and overall has a much slicker look than the usual tripod stands. The way it reflects stage lights adds extra shimmer to live performances. At that price, it's a total steal.

It's more complex than building an IKEA stand.

Also, it doesnt hold up well and feels unstable. The biggest disappointment was that it wasnt adjustable - you just have two ways you can have it; either the tallest it can get or the shortest it can get. Nothing in between.

Pretty decent straight stand. Nothing special and does the trick, but can be a little sticky at times and isn't the most smooth stand that I've owned. For the price - not bad though.

K & M Mic Stand

This is a great Mic Stand, very robust, easy to set up. Easy on the feet as well due it does not cover so much place on the floor, so it is easier to handle as those with removable legs.

Pros

Very solid stand, heavy and very stable, looking as well very good

Cons

none

The perfect mic stand for frontmen!

The straight, chromes mic stand is a classic rock look for frontmen or singers who aren't also playing an instrument.

Aside from the classic look, this stand has a good solid, heavy base, so it won't easily get knocked over on stage. The base also unscrews so you can pack it away with the rest of your folding stands at the end of the gig.

It's also great in the studio for use with big heavy condenser mics as the heavy base means there's much less chance of your expensive mic being knocked over.

Does what it says

Typical straight stand which I think looks gorgeous. Boom stands can be more useful because of their flexibility but I find this stand easier to use when recording vocals. Somehow it's easier to get "into character" because of its look&feel.

The base is stable enough although I wouldn't recommend adding a boom to it: it doesn't have the stability of a tripod. The plastic tightening is decent quality as expected from K&M. All in all, a typical straight stand that does exactly what it says on the tin.
