Amazing Value

I can't believe that this product can be manufactured for this price, never mind being sold with some profit for the retailer.

I have no experience of other microphone stands, so I have nothing to compare against, but as a first time user, I am delighted with it. It is easily adjustable.

It stands and it holds a microphone. What more can you ask from a microphone stand?

Nice mike stand with extra mount

Nice sturdy boom stand at a competitive price.

The feature standing(!) out is the possibility to mount a second mike behind the locking screw makes this really useful in certain occasions.

I mike my acoustic guitar with two mikes and this stand makes it much easier and effective.

Highly recommended.

Good Quality at a reasonable price

Great for home or studio use. It's a bit lightweight for life on the road though. For holding a mike off the floor and keeping your guitar away from the stand it's really good.

Great.

Handy little thing. Perfect for gigs and it packs up nicely. Very stable and has been very helpful for the last 3 years. Has taken a beating but keeps working fantastically

Millenium MS-2005

Some people have complained about the plastic joint at the boom arm connection but I found this was adequate and non-slip. The extra facility for another mic on the stand top was good as an acoustic guitar mic holder.

These are used by me packed by me and assembled by me so they are not rough treated. They are not expensive but function as required.

Millenium MS-2005 Mic stand

Great stand for the price, good heavy stand and the threads don't strip in the first few months like some I could mention, bargain

Great mic stand

This is a really good quality cheap mic stand. It's fully adjustable so I can use it for recording vocals, drums and guitar cabs depending on my needs. Seems very sturdy and it seems like it'd be very hard to break in normal usage!

Budget stand but gets the job done.

The MS-2005 isn't the most heavy duty stand, however its low weight makes it fantastic to carry around and it's sturdy enough for most situations. Extra counterweight needed when booming a decent sized mic with pop shield at full extension to stop the joint slipping (which is also the most likely point of failure due to it being plastic). Overall: absolutely amazing value for the money, and I'll definitely be buying more in the future.

Versatile and reliable

These stands can be used as boom, or in the basic upright position, due to the inclusion of two mic clip mounting points OR you can use the the two clip positions to mount two mics, if you like to mic your guitar and sing, rather than use a pickup. They are stable, easily adjustable, and beat more expensive stands by a long way!

Reliable mic stand

Used these stands for a while, quite light weight and not too bulky, be careful not to over tighten them though. Absolute great value for money and completely versatile as to how you want to use them, be it boom, or straight up and down.

Good stands for overheads

I use these stands for install overhead mics for drumset recording. Nice and stable stands. Length is enough. Compact, light and cheap - this is exactly what I need.

For its price it was not any disadvantages.

Simple but good mic stand

Purchased to use to position microphones for instruments. General purpose stand, good value for money

Great value

I bought this as part of the sm58 bundle, what a deal! you almost get the the stand and lead for free! It is lightweight easy to use. Robust enough to be thrown up and down every week..... and most importantly no droopy mics... Have been using it for 3 months and I have no reason to think that it will not last as long as any of the dearer heavier mic stands.

exceptional value!

i bought 3 of these stand and i must say they surpassed my expectations! these stands are more versatile than most, due to the extra bolt before where the wheel locking system is an extra mic can be added, this was incredibly useful for mid/side micing meaning i didnt have to use a second stand!

The arm extension is what you'd expect from any stand this side, but the locking system meant even at full extension the stand didnt sag or drop.

Really good item for it's price.

I bought it to se mostly for home use. As I don't have a lot of space at my house, I really wanted so that this stand would not take a lot of space.

It's pretty compact, you can easily minimise it. Attaching the mic is pretty easy too. The only thing it really lacked was the instruction, so it was a bit confusing at first. Moreover, I couldn't find any instructions for this device on the internet, which was a bit disappointing.

So, in case you never saw how do all of the parts of the stand should be combined (like I was) it may be a bit confusing for you to compile it.

sturdy stand

These are great mic stands for the price. We have found them to be sturdy and reliable . The get a lot of abuse being thrown into car boots everynight but they still stay together well!, highly recommended!

Mic Stand

I bought this because we had some at the Studio I work at, and they had survived some heavy use, and outlasted several other brands. The brackets seem to be made of high impact plastic, but it's standing up to the usual wear & tear ok, and it has the useful feature of an extra threaded mounting at the top of the stem (as well as the boom). We just use a couple of these for local gigs, but you might want to spend a bit more money if you're going to throw a dozen of them on top of each other in the back of a Van.

Sturdy, well-built and great value.

You do not need to look for another mic stand. Don't even bother.

Over the years I've had the mic stands with the round heavy bottoms (like most of the girls in the pubs I played in), straight 3-legged mic stands and booms.

Most booms fail. It's a fact of life. They get to a point where you just can't tighten them enough to stop mic-boom-droop and then half-way through a gig you'll be playing guitar and singing only to find yourself bending your knees more and more through the song as the boom slowly gives way.

I've not experienced that problem with this stand since I bought it in 2007 - it's 2014 now(!). Are there "better" stands out there? Well, I guess there are, there's certainly heavier ones out there, but I've come to the conclusion that heavy doesn't necessarily equate to sturdy, and heavy definitely doesn't equate to helping your back at the end of the night when you have to pack up.

I've used this stand when playing guitar and singing backing vocals and for that it's superb. A boom mic when playing guitar and singing is a must over a straight stand. Makes the whole process so much easier. Plus, it means you can put your stand's feet around the floor monitor and then adjust the boom to fit where you're standing instead of moving the monitor around the straight stand.

There's not a lot more to say really other than after 7 years of wear and tear it's still going strong, doesn't droop and packs away nicely and is light to boot.

Highly recommended.
