Millenium MS 2005 3-stars Reviews

pretty average stand, it has a good sturdy base so it is nice and stable, but the boom has a tendency to fall on mine no matter how tight we make it, but its ok if you just don't put it at much of an angle, at the end of the day it is a cheap mic stand which fulfils all we need it to do for acoustic nights in our students union and i would buy more if ours broke.

Cheap and Cheerful

Bought loads of these as a general use stand when running the sound and light at rallies, festivals etc. Used for vocal mics, cab mics, o/h drum mics with no problems. The main drawback is the boom clamp breaks easily if overtightened, but at this price just chuck it and replace.

Good for first stand, but doesn't stand the test of time

This is a great entry level microphone stand and has a very sturdy base. The tripod design means no problems with being knocked over. The main issue is that after a while, the thread that you tighten to angle the stand looses its thread and this means the stand can often begin to droop.

You get what you pay for!

Remember this is a cheap stand so is only good value if you intend to use it with not much extension of the boom arm and a light mic.

The reason for this is that the locking mechanism uses plastic receiving threads and grooves to tighten and lock the boom in place and these will wear out quickly especially if used under load.

My experience: This stand has had very little use since i got it 2 years ago but recently I have had it set up with the boom extended approximately 40cm (max usable length is about 65cm) with a condenser mike and pop shield for recording. After only a few months the threads and grooves wore down so it's clearly not fit for this kind of use so beware!

Cheap stand, but good

I received this stand as part of an sm58 bundle, and I was not necessarily disappointed.

In many ways, the Millenium MS-2005 is a good stand, it's inexpensive yet still functions properly. It serves it's purpose and is definitely worth buying.

My issues with this mic stand is that almost all the adjustment controls are on a single mechanism, so it is difficult to adjust quickly in sections where I am not playing guitar as well as providing vocals. Though some people may actually prefer this function rather than multiple adjustments.

The only other problem is that the plastic used in this stand is very brittle, though I expected this from a cheaper stand, I would suggest anyone who knows they're microphone and stand are going to take a battering to look at other options.

Overall a good 'get-what-you-pay-for' stand.

estandar

creo que todos buscan este tipo de stand, por su precio y calidad, la verdad que no es el mejor, pero realmente no quieres gastar mucho dinero en un stand

A Cheap stand - but that's just what you get

I've had a number of millennium stands in the past, usually because I have been on a tight budget, and they tend to go the same way - the Mic adjustment screw is not man enough for the job, the boom adjustment slips after a time. I bought six of them recently as part of a package including mics, bags cables and stands which was unbeatable value, so I don't mind if they fall apart.

I now use Hercules Stands as although they are 3 times the price, they last a lot longer.

That said, for the price these stands are almost disposable. I now use these as overhead mic stands for the drums and as spare stands in case I have a problem with other stands. So in that respect they are excellent value and so long as they are not used day in day out they should last. But if you need a sturdy Mic stand I would suggest you pay a bit more and get a Hercules or something similar. So much better quality and quick release

These will do for the purpose they are now used for though, and I would recommend them if you're on a budget and not going to be gigging more than twice a month.

These are a cheap mic stand - and they dont last for long. Ok for maybe a home studio environment but for live where they are put up and taken apart nightly, it doesnt take them long to unravel. This is about the fifth I have had and all have gone a similar way, The Boom Adjustment goes as does the Mic height

Much better to get a Hercules. They are more expensive (like three times more) but I have had a number of them for quite some years and still going strong.

These ones - I would save your money unless your budget is really tight and buy a better quality one

Millenium MS-2005

This stand is ok. It´s not the best I have tried but it´s good value for the money in my opinion. It reaches 155cm over the floor if you extend it as a staight stand and the boom is 72cm. There are two standard nuts and an adapter for a wider type of attachment that you can fasten to any of the two, so it wont get lost. The base could have been a little heavier. There is no stop in the telescope rod so if you losen the tightening sleeve and pull the rod all the way up, it separates from the base. No big deal. Just put it back again and your good to go.

It's okay...

This ticks a number of boxes quite well e.g.

[x] It's a mic stand

[x] It holds microphones

[x] It's cheap

This particular model of mic stand isn't the most robust however. Treat it gently and it will serve you well.

Do the trick

These are OK stands, if you treat them well they'll last a fair while but I find after time the boom starts drooping etc. but for the price you can't argue!

Easy to use, poor quality

I've owned several millenium mic stands over the years and, though the quality has gotten better in the later reincarnations, they still aren't great.

However, if you're very careful with them, they'll last for a failry long while and for the price, you really can't beat them!

These stand are inexpensive and do the job. Fine for hime studio use. But for heavy stage use I would recommend spending a bit more to get a stand that will last longer. That said these are fine value for the money

not very good stand

Not very good stand. I use them now for very light microphones for low positioning. They are very light and the base it's not very wide so it makes some problems of stability. If you have light microphones that's perfect, because it's easy to carry, but don't use it for large diagram microphones, it's too much for it!

Budget mic stand

It's small money and it's slightly flimsy if I'm being critical .you get what you pay for in this case . It works but don't kick it round...! It's fine if you need extra stands for something but I don't think it will change your life . Spend a bit more if you want something more substantial .

Amazing

At the first I was looking for was any weaknesses becourse of the low price. It would be acceptable if the stand was not perfect. But the only negative thing to say is maby that its not super tight when fixing the hight and also when fixing the three leg stand. Its not a big issue though. I really like the function for the second mic. For me this is the perfect attach in my studio, and the price is surprisingly low.

I can really recomend this product.

broke after a few month

i just used the Millenium MS-2005 for Homrecordingstuff. Never on a stage or something. it was very hard to make the screws stable. and after a while the plastic part broke when i tried to tighten the screw. but for this ridiculous low price its totally ok.

Microfone stand for a little money

I bought this microfone stand as a cheap alternative to my more expensive ones. All in all the quality is ok but this stand is not very lasting. Mine broke after a year. But if you doesn´t touch it to much it maybe lasts longer...

simple

This might not be the fanciest product you can imagine, but it does its job, and maybe more than you could expect for that price. Putting it up and down repeatedly might be a hassle, but if you install it once - no problem. Great value for the price.

It works for a while, you get what you pay for.

It is surprisingly good for so little money but the clamps to the boom arm doesn't survive for long after any rough handling or over tightening.
