I purchased this for quick audio recording with an iPad. I was torn between this mic, and the Samson meteor. I went with this after reading about issues with the mic stand mount on the meteor.

My first use was last night, recording a quick single vocal audio track for a family member. Sound quality was decent, with few noticeable peaks in at the least the male vocal range. Build quality seems decent, with metal construction. The screen is plastic, with foam filling the void between the screen and condenser. The included tabletop tripod is flimsy and loosely constructed, though will do a decent job of supporting the mic, though it will transmit all vibrations for the surface it is sitting on to the microphone.

My only real complaint about the microphone is how the included stand mount attaches, and the lack of vibration isolation/dampening. the included mount attaches by removing a machined knurled nut from the bottom of the mic, which surrounds the usb plug. The mount is then placed onto the bottom of the mic, and the nut reattached. This method provides no vibration dampening, and the mic easily pics up any vibrations, including vibrations from the usb cable touching the mic stand. That said, this is a sub-$70 mic I can't really complain too much about the mount. In the future, I will likely employ a shock-isolating mount when recording from a mic stand.

I recorded from an iPad using MultiTrack DAW from Harmonicdog. In this program, the mic appeared to support 24 bit / 44 khz sampling. I did not check the finished audio to see if it truly supports this, though it appears to when recording.

In conclusion, this is a very good value in entry level usb mics. Sound quality is good, and amazing for the price. The few minor shortcomings are easily overcome with proper preparation, and considering the price, don't change my overall good opinion of this mic.

It is a great USB mic, especially if you are on a tight budget. And it looks really cool. I highly recommend it !

This is a great mic that works very well with my MacBook Pro. You simply select the mic via your preferences using either iMovie or Photo Booth. It's as simple as that! I use it for blogging as well as doing webcasts.

The sound quality is excellent and the directional capacity is good, too. I screwed the mic adapter directly onto my mic stand. But it also comes with a kind of a mini tripod that many will find very useful.

I love the fact that it plugs into the USB port. It's simplicity makes it extremely fun to use.
