Millenium MS 2005 2-stars Reviews

Vertically OK, horizontally not so good

I bought these about 2 years ago in an effort to save some money on some "non-essential" audio gear. A mistake I will not be repeating. The stand is quite okay until you get to the boom part. The plastic locking mechanism broke within a few months on all six of them. The vertical parts serve still fine. Also, they are very light stands so it's comfortable to carry them around, but when using a boom with a mic on it, it's quite easy to tip over. So lesson learned: don't cheap out on stands!

Millenium MS-2005

Very poor quality, only lasted a couple of months with light use before the arm detached and could not be repaired. got it as part of a bundle with a behringer mic but would not go for that again.

It fell apart after 4 months

I found the mechanism at the top that allows for the movement and tightening of the long bit(boom?) that holds the microphone to be weak and not fit for purpose.

Maybe try a more expensive stand

I've owned three of these, and only one of them is still usable. I had them for rehearsal use and a very rare gig, and they just weren't reliable.

We showed up to play a birthday party with two of them, and one of them literally fell apart. And I must add, I'm quite gentle with my gear - so I don't know what would happen if you treat your gear roughly.

The one which remains has had very little use, to be honest I'm half afraid to use it.

It seems a great option for us people on a low budget, but really spend a bit extra and go for a more expensive one. It'll be worth it. I've to buy completely new ones so if anything it's cost me more money by buying these.

Poor product.

It is the only product I bought from your store and not least proved adequate. Almost all the stands that I bought broke the first months without reason and without hard use. All were dissolved at the union of the two axes.

Cheap stand, not the best quality

For its price, it's decently stable. The middle part (circular joint) is made out of plastic, and breaks very easily, so repairs are required after very little use. Other than that, the stand is stable, and other parts of the stand hold up well and are stable even extended at max.

Even knowing the joint is going to break easily, it's still worth to buy (and prepare to fix the mid part), just because of its good price and stability.

Not too good quality

Poor quality plastic parts. The plastic disc broke into thousand pieces when tightening the boom screw and I didn't even use much force. I'm getting a new better quality stand next.

Cheap

The title says it all: it's a cheap stand, only buy it if you need something which you only want to use a few times.

The plasic holding the boom-arm broke after only a few usages on mine. On the other hand, the fastening system feels sturdier than those of the MS-2003

Budget Stand

I have bought two of these stands and have used them for studio and voice over work mainly. They are mostly well constructed with the exception of the rotating grip that holds the boom to the vertical arm.

This rotating part doesn't provide sufficient grip while a microphone is extend out at any distance. While trying to tighten it down the nut, which the tightening bolt screws into, the bolt was pulled out through the brittle plastic it is housed in. I have had to remove this part altogether and the stand now functions as a straight stand, but that is not the purpose for which it was intended. (ie: this is not fit for purpose.)

I didn't expect much from this stand but it delivered even less than that. If you have microphones that cost more than this stand, don't trust them to this item.

Millenium MS-2005

Does what is should do as a mic stand but, poor quality means it won't last longer than a couple of months. Even without heavy use these stands are very fragile, with the plastic clamp almost always the first thing to go.

Boom joint is bad.

After some time the fulcrum (rotation point, where boom connects to the stand) fell apart (i.e. just broke). Some time = some weeks. So, better spend a few more euros and buy a better one.

Lightweight and Disappointed

Bought as part of a set, not used until recently and broke on its 2nd outing. The housing that incorporates the cross bar is a flimsy bit of plastic that was seriously not up to the job, would avoid this product if given a choice in the future.

Ultimately this was too flimsy for the job required - cheap and cheerless.

Wish I had spent more

Bought this for home use, but wish I had spent more and gone with something of better quality. There are a lot of plastic components that just aren't man enough for the job. Cheep but not cheerful!

Poor stand

This stand performed well for this first few months but in the end the angle adjustment screw ate into its plastic casing rendering the boom arm unusable. Not durable and needs to be improved. MS-2003 model far better.

Spend more and get a better one !!

This is a very simple mic stand, it works well for a few month but then it broke on the extension bar. Now can't using it.
