Amazingly clear and precise microphone

I use this mic for a home studio environment. My apartment is near a busy street, which made me worried on how ambient sounds sources would interfere, but it turned out to be a non issue with this mic.

The E205 sounds crisp and precise, and has a very good frequency response curve, which is on par and perhaps even better than many more expensive microphones.

My only other reference is Shure SM58, which granted has a different purpose, but in comparison, the E205 sounds just so much better - its insane.

Pros:

- Sound - it is very detailed

- Price

- Build Quality

Cons:

- None

Great budget microphone

Great for podcasts and for use in a budget home studio! I have had it for a year now and it is still working fine. Sound quality is amazing for the price- I could not have asked for more from such a cheap product!

Great value

I've been using this as a room mic for a guitar, and for some backing vocals. It performed both the duties well. It's a well built neutral mic for an extremely low price.

Great first mic or secondary. Comes well packed and in a good pouch. For this price I can think of now cons.

great working mic

This is the first condenser microphone I've received, and I've been using it to track vocals for some demos, at home. I was looking for a cheap microphone, since i wasn't concerned with achieving a high recording quality. However, I have been very impressed with the clarity and range of this mic. To me, this mic is satisfactory for honest, simple recordings of guitar, vox and percussion.

It feels solidly built and comes in a bag with a zip, which is a tight fit when the stand clip is attached.

Very sturdy and even heavy piece of equipment, I like black color and design soultion. Soundwise is very good, very low noise, decent dynamic range, leaning towards lows. Quite warm and pleasent reproduction. It hasn't any switches, but I wouldn't expect it in this price range. The packaging is excellent with nice little bag for protection. The adjusting for stand is included and I like the way how the boom is solved. Recommended, especially for single voice or guitar amp recording.

Paired it could be nice drum overhead solution.

a Steal for the price

It is only my second ever microphone and i have to say that it is more than i expected for the price i have paid for it. it is not playing with the big guns in but in its range it holds its own and more really. it is very clear and smooth and does not have the hiss and pop you could expect from the microphone of this price and does have a certain true and silky feeling from the microphone with a higher price marked. it is a really good safe buy for a beginner producer who is limited with cash.

Great Microphone!

At first I was a little bit skeptical about this microphone becuse of the low price but I decided to give it a go and see. I have to say this microphone is really good! It sounds really smooth which is great for vocals. It's quite a bright microphone so it could be good for drum overheads too. The build quality of this microphone is amazing. It's just as good as a mic 4 or 5 times the price. I couldn't recommend this mic more!
