I am using the V87 for an inexpensive studio mic. I was satisfied with the promptness and condition that it was delivered. The mic sounds very clear and it is extremely sensitive and think I got a great deal. I was not impressed with the low-profile shock mount as it makes the mic top heavy on the stand. Also, I wish there was a mic case. All in all I am happy with the mic and the price.
