5 out of 10
Feature:
Polar pattern switching makes all the difference. I would find little use for it without the omni or fig-8 patterns.
Quality:
Should you crack it open, you would find it is very mod-friendly and made to be looked at. The components are pretty high end name brand. Has taken more of a beating than I imagined a condenser could.
Value:
Good value. I would recommend another comparable Chinese mic in this price range. Go with SP for a better stock sound.
Desirability:
Decent looking.
Sound:
It's quite clear, and reproduces the entire freq range accurately, but it still sounds Chinese to my ears. I loathe the boost in the upper midrange. It sounds harsh and overly present. For this reason I limit the use of this mic, and when I do use it, I meticulously smooth out that boost. That all said, it is a solid mic. It has stood up to some minor mods that I have done to it and the circuitry is made with quality components. This is not a studio centerpiece, and wouldn't recommend it as such to anyone, but serves well as an all purpose condenser in the clutch.
Ease of Use:
It's a condenser...
Support:
Never used it.
Overall:
I have been equally frustrated and satisfied.

Feature:
Come on...for this price you get 3 polar paterns, a pad and bass rolloff, the shock mount, and the durable case. That's a good deal...great features.
Quality:
For the price, the quality can't be beat. If you got a little more dough though, I would definately go for a better mic, but starting out, you can't beat what you get for this price. Also, I had a drunk artist drop mine on the side of my desk, which put a dent in the grill, but the mic still works great.
Value:
Again...great value. What you get for this low price is unbeatable. The sound quality & features to money ratio works out in your favor here.
Desirability:
It's a cool looking mic, and it has a wow factor to it, as long as the person you're recording doesn't know anything about Behringer. People give Behringer a bad name because it's cheap, and the quality is not all that great for Pro Audio. When it comes down to it though, on a budget, it'll get the job done, and it looks professional grade to the untrained eye. It's not gonna get you laid, but it could get you paid. (A little bit) :o)
Sound:
I've only used this mic for vocals (mostly hiphop and R&B) and it sounds pretty good. I mean, you get what you pay for, of course, but for as bad a name as Behringer gets from my fellow audio engineers, they do supply beginners with low beginning budgets with semi-decent sounding equipment. I recorded a whole album on this, and as a demo/mixtape quality recording, it came out pretty good.
Ease of Use:
Like the man above said...it's a mic...plug it in and use it, it can't get much easier.
Support:
None needed...the best kind of support.
Overall:
I give it a high score because it's great for the money, but it doesn't get a 10 because of course, you can do soooo much better with a bigger budget. To start out though, you can't beat it's price and it gives decent enough quality for a demo, and for mixtape quality CDs. If music is just a hobby, this is a good mic for home recording, and once you've got more experience, and more money you can upgrade to something better. I've had nothing but good experiences with it though, and look at my first condenser mic with fondness. All in all a good buy...I've never regreted the purchase for a second.
