Not the best

It's definitely a cheap stand, but so are some of the parts of it. The adjustable screws for the boom arm wore out after about a month of normal studio use, and the pop-up neck lock mechanism at the base of it sometimes fails and the microphone falls down quite a bit, which is definitely not ideal.

Will look for another one.

Great Stand

Bought two of these - they are stable but not super heavy.

Good Build quality.

Have recommended to band mates - they all liked it and place order.

Not bad

I've had a couple of mic stands before and they all broke. In all fairness I was putting them through a lot. I recently started recording vocals so I needed a new mic stand. I got this because it looked decent for the price.

It's okay. Not great feeling but for home use it will do the job. If you are looking for a mic stand for live or general heavy usage then spend more money. If you want one for home or for a small studio and you have a small budget then I can recommend this.

Fairly stable, fairly tall. Not much to say really. I'm happy with mine just don't expect it to last a lifetime. But if you take care of it then it's fine.

Great for just a microphone

When you buy a microphone stand, the one thing you need to consider, like with anything else, is where you’re going to use it and how.

In a home-studio setting, you’re most probably going to add a reflection filter on the microphone stand itself to your microphone and that means it has to carry its weight. For on stage, with musicians that don’t apply thus much force that the fasteners get wrecked, this is a great budget microphone stand.

For singing without a reflection filter, this is a great microphone stand. For singing with a reflection filter, you’re going to find that you need tie-wraps or other kinds of outside help to keep the microphone stand in position.

Think about your setup.

Read about reflection filters first and if you can’t afford those, use the smallest possible room in your home you can find, possibly a bedroom will work. If you don’t use high pitched singing, but focus on for instance hiphop, a towel behind your microphone with the mic upside down will probably do fine also.

Think setup, use, and room you need to work in.

Shoddy build quality

After a couple of months of use this stand is useless. I used it in a homestudio setting where it's not even in heavy use. Do yourself a favour and buy something of better quality right off the bat.

Millenium MS 2003 Mic Stand Review

So, I've bought two of these stand for my studio. One of them I'm using for video recording with pretty light Behringer dynamic microphone and another one for Rode NT-1 combined with Micsreen.

Why am I giving "okay" instead of "good" or "very good". Well, this Mic stand with Boom arm actually works well as a stand for dynamic mic during a gig or video recording. But I'm not happy about it as a stand for my condenser mix, especially combined with Mic Screen. It will be more clear when you see the pros and cons.

Pros:

1. It's just a classy and good mic stand with pretty good Boom Arm for a dynamic microphone. It's already handled a few gigs and few hard rock videos, what I'm happy about.

2. Good price comparing with other microphone stands with boom arm.

3. The relation between price and quality - good.

Cons:

1. You got to be really careful while changing heights because it feels that it isn't hard to break it and it would not fix the heights anymore.

2. The purpose of this mic stand - for dynamic and light microphones, it's definitely not the best choice for condenser mics.

3. This microphone stand barely handles Mic screen (it's too big weight for this mic stand to handle but you can risk it).

In conclusion - it's okay. Price is really good it works fine at gigs, it handles dynamic microphones. I would recommend it for the beginner bands or artist who likes to practise a lot or have a lot of live plays. What I also would recommend is: you shouldn't save few euros for quality of your studio, so I would buy other Millenium stand for a condenser mic, which works perfect for condenser microphones and keep it stable. For 15 Euros, the price of this mic stand, you wouldn't expect to get the best quality possible, would you?

Have fun, you guys!

Good stand, for the price

Not the most stable, not the best built, but it is a very good budget option mic stand, and all the pieces are still there.

Ok for the price.

Received it with a bundle, just for the average weight mics.

Does what it's supposed to do but...

... could be a bit more sturdy. But nothing that can cause any problems if you're careful and always make sure everything is nice and tight. I use it to hold mainly a RODE NT1-A.

Doesn't really lock into one position. Always have to re-adjust the mic after moving it away from the amp for what ever reason.

You get what you get.

I?m using this stand in my homestudio to record my voice during video shootings and the stand does its job. It feels a bit flumsy, but what will you expect for the price? I would not recommend this if you?re going to use this daily, but for hobby purposes it?s fine. My K&M to place the mic in front of the guitar cabinet is much more robust and feels more solid, but the price is accordingly.
