Pros & Cons
Pros
The addition of the accessories and the xlr cable is fantastic value. The pickup from about 2 feet away isn't amazing so this should be used close up mostly. Great microphone. Stand etc also good and solid.
Cons
It looks great, but is a terrible waste of money. Buy cheap buy twice as they say. Sounds like your average poundland mic.
