Millenium MS 2005 3-stars Reviews

Not bad for the money

I only use this at home to play in the garage with some friends. I guess it's ok for this kind of use. Never had problems with it so far, but I wouldn't trust it for some heavier use because it seems a bit fragile in the plastic parts.

Millenium MS-2005 review

Not the greatest mic stand in the world. But it's less than a tenner. You get what you pay for. Perfect for setting up in a bedroom to just jam at home for practice. Would not last too long on the gig circut though.

Strangely lop-sided

I bought this microphone stand a few months ago, to support a large diaphragm condenser and pop-filter. The main problem is that it is designed for live use, with dynamic microphones and the large diaphragm condenser is rather weighty, causing the stand to topple if extended too far. This is an easily solved problem, but it gets annoying when recording guitar and vocals simultaneously. Good build quality however and a sturdy feel!

ok

These stands are ok if you are on a tight budget but i would urge you to spend the extra little but of money and get a heavier stand such as the dearer millenium or k&m ones.

You get what you pay for!

This is a very cheap product BUT it does compare to a lot of the more expensive brands. At close to €10 it's difficult to go wrong.

It is very suitable for studio or live usage but don't expect it to last you years. I've bought many of these and a couple have broken.

Despite the rather poor build quality I will be buying more of these.

Basic mic stand, value for money

This is a decent mic stand for the money. Nothing too fancy here, but you wouldn't expect it either. It's sturdy enough for band practice use, even for occasional gigging. Overall, good value for money.

Could be better

This is a very cheap stand and I was wondering what the quality will be like when I get it. It wasn't so good - not so bad but I thought I would get better quality.

The adjusting mechanism is very bad and it doesn't always work, the stand isn't very stable. But this is a very cheap stand - you don't get the best quality on cheap, of course!

Although it weighs little, it might appear as flimsy. Admittedly, due to its light weight, the boom part of the stand does tend to 'keel over' when left overnight with the microphone in it; in other words, the weight of the microphone makes the boom return parallel with the main stand. Other than that, it is a functional piece of equipment. After all, I use it in both rehearsal and during recordings and it definitely serves its purpose.

OK to start out with, but you'll need better

It's an OK stand, cheap and cheerful at the start. But the screw part to actually hold the boom pole in place is a bit flimsy.

After a while (couple months) it doesn't tighten as much as it used to, and then because it's made of plastic, the threads start to shred away. Eventually you can't tighten it at all and you're left with two poles and a bit of plastic.

Ended up needing a new stand after 6 months. Still could use the vertical pole as a sort of mic stand I suppose...

Excellent locking system, very light stand

The locking system is much more efficient and long lasting than the traditional grip locking. It has and incredibly light weight compared to other mic stands, which can be considered a plus for live performers carrying it around, as well as a bit of a negative aspect in terms of stability, which is not as good compared to sturdier stands.

Cheap, but stands up to the task

Not the sturdiest of stands, prone to falling over with heavier mics, but great for cheaper light mics

Ok product for the price.

This mic stand is decent, though the quality can be somewhat lacking. I found the mechanism for holding the mic in place can be weak at times, if using a heavier mic. It is also slightly awkward for recording guitar amps as the mechanisms won't tighten well enough to keep the mic low, near the amp. The stand is perfectly adequate though, when in the upright performance, for vocals, when using a light mic.

value product

good for the money, but nothing special.

Good mic stand but didn't last long

This mic stand is cheap, and is worth exactly what it costs. It is a good mic stand in and of itself, but in terms of durability you get what you pay for (i had it for about a year i think, and it's broke now). It should be fixable though.

Had a lot of problems with these!!

Caveat emptor as they say. The plastic clamp on the boom arm is terrible!! Poor design - had many problems with it!! And yet, I've bought plenty of them as they are a great price!! You do get what you pay for though.
