"If all you want is a good microphone , this is it !!"

Feature:
The best feature is the lack of features . It does what its supposed to do without any bells and whistles . Could use an on/off switch but that is not really a problem .

Quality:
Lightweight and tough enough to last you for a long time . I guess if you mistreat the thing it will quit on you , but that would be user error ......

Value:
I paid $120.00 for mine and will gladly do so again should something happen to the one I have now .

Desirability:
Its a Plain Jane that gets the job done . Thats appealing to me .

Sound:
The sound quality is exactly what I expected . Crisp and clear . Less feed back problems than the other mics in my arsenal . Certainly cuts through mix nicely .

Ease of Use:
Sits on your head and doesn't move around like some others . Easily adjusted for comfort and use .

Support:
I have no idea as I haven't ever needed to contact them .

Overall:
More comfortable than any of the others ( and theres been a few ). Sounds good , dependable and you don't need to take out a loan to get one . What else do you want ?

"Excellent alternative to wireless mikes."

Feature:
It's very light weight and I didn't need a long cord but that wouldn't be a problem if I needed one. I wish it had a switch. At the end of my concerts I move around and I have to take the thing off which so far has resulted in a loud thump and scratching sound. I have to grab for the mixer now. A switch would be nice.

Quality:
It seems to be a little light weight but that's also an advantage. I always have backups for almost everything. Right now that's a stand mike. I'm a sax player so the vocal stand mike gets in my way. I am always on the road traveling somewhere to gigs and I can't go back for something.

Value:
yes

Desirability:
I don't wear it around my head because I often have a hat on so I put it around my neck outside my coller. It doesn't interfere with my sax neckstrap since it's lite weight too

Sound:
I think the sound is pretty good. I read another review before purchasing the mike that panned the sound. There advantages to stand mikes but for what I needed this is pretty good. It tends to pop without the included wind shields.

Ease of Use:
works good for me.

Support:
no problems

Overall:
I was originally going to go wireless but since I am only a couple of feet from my mixer the cord length and all the extra junk I would have to carry for wireless makes wireless less than attractive although it has it's advantages too. I will order another one soon.
