Customer Reviews
4 out of 5 (28 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Excellent mic. Price is just the icing on the cake."
Sound: Sound was nice and clear and didn't color the sound much. Used for karaoke. Feature: The grounded antenna didn't seem to help with droputs. If you are on a stage this wouldn't be a problem. If you wander around the room you'd be better off getting the true diversity model (mic is the same, only the receiver is different) Quality: Microphone seems very solid and well built. This was a replacement for another I purchased about 5 years ago that had finally been dropped to many times (typical when drunk karaoke singers use them). Value: Definately worth the money. Manufacturer Support: I've never attempted to get repairs as buying new ones would probably be cheaper than fixing. One downside is there doesn't seem to be replacement screens available. if it get dropped and dented you have to try and push out the dents (rounded end of a screwdriver handle seems to work well) The Wow Factor: I wouldn't call it sexy. Handsome might be a better term Overall: Very Happy with this microphone and will replace them with the same when and if needed.
Style of Music: Variety

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
