"Crap, stay away."

Desirability:
It looks good but doesn't work for crap.

Sound:
I have cheaper mics that do a much better job than this one. The input volume is very low. It is not sensitive at all. I may have gotten a bad one, but I think it is crap.

Support:
They gave me a bunch of jibberish about the applett on their site and then told me to buy a signal boost. I should n't have to buy anything else. I have cheaper mics that perform much, much better than this one.

Overall:
Buy something else.

Feature:
Simple, just plug and play and the drivers are all installed with volume adjustment under capture.

Quality:
Well the mircophone is quite senstive to loud sound but it just take some personal adjusting. A good software package for recording music will help you fine tune audio tracks.

Value:
I don't really see other mics in it's class as far as professional studio microphones.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to use indeed.

Support:
Don't know, did not use it yet.

Overall:
I say go for it but a mic stand will be a good investment.
