"I've taken out my EV's and put in the Q1"
Feature:
Samson needs to include wind screen seeing that these are condenser mics.

Desirability:
I plan on buying more

Sound:
good overall sound. Mid-rangey at first, but is VERY responsive to EQ.

Support:
I have dealt with samson CS and always got an immediate response!!

Overall:
The Q1 is like any other mic. It has it's place. Live vocals seem to be the best suitable place, but on drums in studio could also work.

Style of Music: all styles, well not bluegrass....
