Millenium MS 2005 3-stars Reviews

Price indiciates what it is

I use this as a spare stand. I think other reviews say enough. You get what you pay for. It still finds its purpose.

not a fan

affordable mic stand but has trouble withstanding heavy weight (mic + mic screen) im getting another stand :/

Average

The part which holds the mic isnt the best quality but do the job well

Fragile

the thread of the screw that holds the base has worn off after a month of use. as for the rest it looks ok

Broke after years of use

After years of using this microphone stand it has finally had it’s day and the plastic wheel holding the boom arm disintegrated and snapped. This stand served me well for a number of years and I definitely got my moneys worth out of it. If you are to use a heavy condenser or ribbon microphone, buy a more expensive stand but for live use or rehearsals with a dynamic vocal microphone this stand was great.

Bad quality

It is handy and exactly as it looks, however it broke too soon and the stability could be improven

It does the job

It's fine as long as you don't expect too much. It works as a mic stand well enough, but it definitely feels cheap. I would not use this stand with very heavy or expensive mics. It's okay once you have it set-up but I'm pretty sure I would eventually break it if I was moving and adjusting it a lot.

You get what you pay for with mic stands. These are grand as mic stands for the local battle of the bands or an emergency back up but if you're going on tour or planning on doing serious recording shell out the extra bucks. If you're a local band or recording yourself in your bedroom or garage work away they do exactly as you would expect and will do perfectly.

great for completely static setups, handles movement poorly

So this worked nicely for a while. But right from the start it wouldn't stay locked in the position I put it in.

And one day the plastic inside the part that connects the two poles just disintegrated, pulvarized. Might have been the lower temperature at night in our studio, which is in a section of our barn, but still. It was never freezing out there, and this thing is made of plastic and metal, I expected it to last a little longer.

Going for a more expensive more solid variant next time.

It's affordable

Use in the studio as mic stand for drummer.

The most obvious con is that it falls over most of the time.

Probably can be used with light mics and without extending the arm too much.

Not that much experience on different mic stands but this is noisy if stand is rotated. Horrible noise :D Although using cheap samson dynamic mic with this one at the moment. The mic I use is not too good rejecting handling noise. It is still a cheap stand and does feel ok stability wise. Just don't get too crazy extending the boom all the way in horizontal position. Not really meant for that I guess but just saying.

Okay for the money

OK for home studio setups or when it's not going to be set up and collapsed often. Does't look robust enough for heavy long term gigging.

Good

Generally, it's not bad for the money and great for getting the job done on a budget.

It's not as good as i thought it would be

It was part of a bundle (with a Behringer XM8500), and i thought that it would be a great stand.. unfortunately, its not stable. The microphone is pretty heavy and it falls down a lot.

Pro :

- Cheap

- it works

- easy to set up

- easy to fold to bring it to practice

cons :

- unstable

1 : the feet are independant for one another which makes it hard to set up and unstable, especially with a heavy microphone

2 : very light

- there is no screw to tighten the horizontal rotation of the arm.. it turns really easily, since it's, one more time, very light

But it's really good for its price

excellent but

If you can afford it go for a KN stand. you get way you pay for with mike stands.

Get what you pay for

This isn't necessarily bad, not by a long stretch. However, it is not good either.

To begin, a couple of dodgy things that have annoyed me over the last few months of having this:

1. The swivvel that moves the mic further away from the mic, side to side, up and down, etc (useful for recording instruments and vocals while seated - this broke off after only a few months of very VERY light use, thus rendering the stand more or less useless.

2. The height-adjusting twisty bit is quite loose. This means if you put almost any downward pressure on the mic the stand will slide down toward the ground. This is frustrating if you like to put youor hands on the mic in a live setting ie: video or gig.

3. Any sound or vibrations in the ground seem to travel up and get picked up in the mic - unsure if this is only this stand or if this is a universal issue though so maybe check for yourself.

Overall, this comes as part of a package deal and for what you PAY it is fine. It does the job. Just be careful, it's not strong.

After screws are tightened, they get kind of sticky, it requires a lot of force to unscrew and move the parts.

Did not break yet, but I expect it on every movement.

It'll do the job

Well, it does the job but never let your band singer twist it like he's being possessed by an ancient rock and roller devil. It will not withstand the pressure.

Other than that, I'm pretty sure it would last a lot more, doing what it was intended to: support your microphone.

Good all round mic stand

Not the best stand out there, but in this price range, i think it's the best you can find.

OK for an inexpensive product

For not very heavy and not very expensive microphones. Good as a consumable if you do not touch or move it during operation. For stationary work, so as not to change the position many times - weak mounts.
