Millenium MS 2003 3-stars Reviews

Good in general

can't find better for this price

USefull for home usage

It is working fine with my Rode NT-1 A

Poor quality, but cheap

This was very cheap but next time i would definetly pay a bit more and go for proper mic stands. This has a hard time holding small handheld microphones and the tightening nubs are very poor quality. Feels cheap and Does not really do well in the task it was made for.

It's pretty bad.

Does what it needs to do

Doesnt quite get delivered on time though ... :S

It’s ok. Usable.

Not quite sturdy. Works ok on lighter mics. For heavy ones you’d need something better.

Not stable

This is not stable and it hurts hands when you have to adjust it..

Not the best, not the worst

A pretty average mic stand. Certainly used worse but not close to a K&M stand. Good at a cheap price and does the job. Just lacks that quality.

broke the "metal" handle after 2 years, doesnt stand too well either

Ok for studio, dies with gigging

These would suit well if you set them up and leave them be. I believe they would hold their own and work well in that kind of studio setting where you don't open and close them all the time. However the screwholes lose their winding if used often.

I bought these just to test them out and to be honest, the even cheaper ones by millenium can take more of a beating. So as always depends on the intended usage- fine for delicate use, won't survive gigging for long.

Considering the price point, I'm not even mad :D. A successful experiment.

If you can afford it, buy a higher-end stand

TLDR:

Pros:

- for its price, it gets the job done;

- again, for its price, you don't feel bad for banging it around;

- it's versatile in terms of positioning, unless you're looking for extreme angles;

Cons:

- only good when stationary. moving the boom around unlocks the screw that holds the lower and upper parts of the base rod.

- the horizontal adjustment of the boom is difficult - the screw there doesn't always hold the boom in its place. especially if you have a heavier mic;

Now, if you're looking at this product, you probably want to get the cheapest mic stand, whatever the reason. With this in mind, this is definitely a choice that can make for yourself and you'll be moderately happy.

Do have in mind though that if your setup is one where your microphone needs to move around and not be stationary, this happiness won't last much.

The screwing/locking mechanism that holds the lower to the upper portion of the base is not good. After a couple of weeks of use, you would need to screw it super tight to have it able to hold the boom of the stand at the desired height. This is also a problem in cases where the floor or carpet is not perfectly even - the screwing mechanism will not prevent the boom from swinging around which is quite frustrating. Furthermore, when you move the boom around, the twisting motion will "unlock" the screw and the whole boom will fall down. Not cool if you happen to be speaking at the same time.

One more negative aspect of this product is that it is impossible to have the boom in a horizontal position and extended at maximum. If that's a setup you need to achieve, be prepared that you'll need to put some weight to the legs of the stand, otherwise it just falls over.

Overall, if you're looking for a stand you're going to be using for a long time, I'd advise you to look for something of a higher quality. This one is really not worth it in the long run. I already sold mine.

It's OK, but easily topples with a heavy mic

Quality is generally ok, however it easily topples with a heavy mic, which is rather strange as I received this as part of the Rode NT1-A bundle and it does topple over with this model.

Good stand if you will only use the mic, however it doesn't really handle the weight of the mic screen, it bends a bit over time

A part from that, no complaints!

Cheap Microphone stands, not the best nor the worst

When reading this review, You have to take account of the price of these, they're cheap, so You can't expect perfection or, the mostly requested sturdiness. These stands will do their job but be aware, they're light, so any knock or sudden movement can move the microphone away from its original position. The screws feels like You can't tight them enough or they will break. It's a good compromise for the money but if I can spend q little more on microphone stands I'd definitely do.

Ms 2003

After a while the stander just becomes unstable and feels mir cheap. Just get a very good one and expensive cause if u look at the prices like I did, u just end up waiting money, just buy once a good quality from the go

Adequate stand

Fine, sturdy mic stand. (have it for years now)

Only con is that the housing at the tilting nut for the arm of the mic used a plastic housing which degraded and gave out over time.

Removed the broken piece and fixed it with a wing nut.

Alright for the price

These stands are cheap and they do get the job done. But after a while they start to show their quality. Like the twist handle to raise does not function very well. The boom slips a bit. is ok for light home use.

Cheap mic stand, not very sturdy or stable but you pay for what you get and the price is fair.

works with some upgrades only

I ordered Shure SM57 and this stand came with it. I dont know if the others has same issues, but knob on one arm cannot be turned into position of mic well, so I had to glue it and fix that, now I can use it for my 4x12 Mesa cab for recording.. overal quality is good

It's Ok...

UPDATE:

It's ok for the price.

You need to tighten it quite a bit or else it shakes and/or loosens a little.

It struggles to hold an SM57 when the boom arm is extended wich is kind of sad honestly.

But I guess if you need a cheap stand to beat up and just set and forget, this is fine... Just don't put any mic on it that costs more than 100€
