Millenium MS 2005 Reviews

Good but not the best

I purchased two of these for the studio but found that its hard to keep stable with the heavier microphones. Also the wheel keeps going down (even when at its maximum torque) if the microphone / shock absorption / etc is too heavy. Still they are nice and cheap, microphone stands break all the time for various reasons so if you are looking for a cheap replacement this is the way to go. Had some problem as well with base, too light and tilts easily (even with smaller mics) but as long as you keep it in the right angle and position you should be fine!

Decent quality for the price.

A solid mic stand, good for SM-58 sized mics. It got a bit unstable when I used a big condenser mic, but I dont't think it was really designed with big mics in mind.

Overall, a good mic stand.

Grand mic stand, if a little on the short side

Got this mic stand recently and have had no major problems with it. Not the best quality in terms of parts but has never given me any trouble during gigs or otherwise. I use the stand when playing live and at the computer. Great stand for the price, can't imagine it'll last forever but it does the job.

This is a great mic stand - I wanted a stand that would suit both vocal use and could be used to mic up guitar amps as well. This certainly can handle both situations and feels very stable.

I am always cautious of over-tightening as this is what will ultimately break this type of product, but so far it is holding up well.

With carefull handling, I can see this lasting a lot longer than the price would suggest.

Great value for money

I got this as part of a bundle with a sennheiser microphone. It was so cheap it was an obvious choice to get it. The stand is decent quality. It is pretty sturdy but don't expect to fully extend the boom arm as the center of gravity isn't low enough. But for normal use it is more than capable.

satisfied

Thank you for good quality and price of this product.

Very durable and easy maintenance.

I will certainly do more orders and give to my friends.

Does what it's meant to

It's pretty light, it also probably wouldn't stand up to being thrown in a van after gigs night after night.

But it holds up a microphone well, what more do you want from a stand?

Cheap, light, functional

This stand is light, stable and does the job. I've only used it for my home studio, which it is ideal for. You might want something more heavy duty for regular live use.

Nice stand

Nice stand for home use.

Great value

Absolutely worth its low price. A bit awkward solution for the arm, but works well and holds a long time if you handle the stand with a bit of care - that means no adjusting without properly unscrewing.

Good

It's perfectly fine for standard, fairly stationary use. We use these at home and they get moved around a little bit, but not much. For the price, they are surprisingly solid, and they work perfectly fine. Of stands in this price range, this is at the top of what I've experienced.It's easily adjustable, the screws stay tight once adjustments are made, it's light but not so light that it tips or blows over, the feet keep it steady on the floor and from wobbling.

Seriously, for those who don't need a stand that can handle touring or lots of fiddling around, this is the one to go with. If you need a stand to handle doing live gigs and/or going on tour, shipping around in airplanes or vans, etc., you will need to go up a notch or two in quality (and, sadly, price).

Very light weight and stable, good price, easy to use. It might be that it is not durable enough for heavy stage usage, but definitely does its job in your home studio.

No Good

It broke within two lives. Untrusty mic stand. Not recommended at all.

good product

does the job, sturdy enough to support my ipad as well. I like it as it has an extra mic clip option near the boom so I lend it to singer/horn players a lot.

My boyfriend also received this as part of the shure SM58 bundle and it isn't disappointing. Very nice bit of gear, very light, withholds a lot of throwing around.

I will be ordering a couple more of these for the rest of my band as they are great value for money. i would highly reccomend investing in a few, though they seem to last a very long time! Only time will tell whether the screws will hold up but things are looking good!

I have owned this microphone stand for about 9 years now. I have put it away when not using it for many many times but still no problem assembling it.

Barely usable

Don't let the low price fool you, this mic stand is not worth it. The tightening system of the boom arm loosens and breaks down very quickly in regular use. After that you can't secure it in any position firmly anymore, even when using a light microphone. The materials are of poor quality and the overall feel of the stand is quite flimsy.

Better to buy a more expensive, but sturdier stand than pay less for something that breaks down quickly.

Great for the money

Best value stand I have used, the mechanisms appear to be very sturdy and under heavy use have yet to fail me. I have purchased much more expensive stands in the past that have been let down by cross threaded screws, clamps etc. No such problem here. The stand is finished in an attractive satin black which has been very resistant to scratching and marking thus retaining a professional appearance. The stand is quite light but well balanced for its price, it will tip if using heavy condenser/ribbon microphones so be careful with that or you could damage your precious and expensive mics!

The best cheap mic stand you can buy

This mic stand is mind-bendingly affordable. It probably wouldn't last long on tour or at a busy gig venue but if it's just setup permanently in a small studio or at home then it'll last for years. I've had a few of these over the years and the quality for the price is outstanding.

Don't look further!

This is one of the best mic stands i have ever had, stable and after almost 3 years it still goes strong! not loosening after all this time and all the gigs its been at. you can put various types of microphone on top and it is very easy to do so! Easy to stack away and light to carry around, but you will have to purchase the twisty thing to put a handheld mic on top! And because of its black discreet colour if you need to plump it up you could DIY it a bit and decorate it to make it stand out! I did that and wrapped feather boas around and well, possibilities are endless!!

Good value

Had this stand for about 5 years now and it has never had a problem. All the locking devices work well so when you set it up you know the mic is going to stay where you put it.
