"Awesome mic! Where a ski mask when you order, because $99 for this mic is like stealing from Studio Projects!"
Feature:
Features as I explained earlier, it comes with extra options you can read in the description. It also comes with a decent shock mount and a nice wooden box. Just looking at the box it came in made the mic worth buying.

Quality:
The mic is pretty sturdy. There are sturdier mics out there, but this comes close to those mics. I'm confident that if I accidently dropped this mic, I could pick it up and start recording again expecting the same quality.

Value:
For $99 you need to where a ski mask, 'cause you would be stealing from SP. If I hadn't known the price of this mic, just by using the mic, I would have thought the price to be in the 199-299 range.

Desirability:
I would buy another one of these right now if I didn't have about 10 mics at home.

Sound:
I have never really payed too much attention to studio project products. After doing some research and asking around I decided to test one out. I mainly record vocals (hip hop/R&B/Ballad). For the price I was impressed. It doesn't have the muddiness in the vocals. At the same time it wasn't to bright. I would say the sound of this mic with a little bit of tweaking on your DAW brings your vocals to near pro studio quality. It also comes with options to cut down on your freq. For $99 you can't lose out. I really picky when it comes to mics. I highly recommend this mic in its price range. I rated this mic an 8 because there are better mics out there, but you might have to dig through your pockets a little deeper for the higher end mics. In comparison to an AT2020 and this mic, I would chose this mic again.

Ease of Use:
If you can plug something in, then you're good to go in this station.

Support:
Didn't have to use it yet. I've had the mic for a month now. I gave it a 10 because if I don't have to recieve support from SP, then they've deffinately done their part.

Overall:
Overall, all I have to say is "get it!" Pros: The output of the mic is not muddy, it is clear, crisp on the high end but not too crisp. It comes with nice wooden box and shock mount. Optional presets on the mic that I found pretty useful. Nice slick design and very sturdy as well. Cons: I don't have any cons yet. If there was one maybe a better shock mount. throw in a xlr cable. i always hated ordering the xlr cable seperately for my mics. i really can't find and cons for this mic at the price it is selling for.

"Looking for a breathtaking mic for under 100$? Look no further."
Feature:
Sound...warm and precise.

Quality:
I own it for 2 years and still in mint shape. I prefer to wait a little before being objective on this matter.

Value:
No comment. THe best price value available for your vocals.

Desirability:
i wanted it and i bought it

Sound:
Incredible sound for the money. I've made vocal tracks that my friedns thought made with far more expensive mics. I don't want to be offensive but here you've your bang for the buck. Coupled with a mic200 ultragain preamp from behringer. Less impressive but veeeeery good for the low price.

Overall:
No other mic come close in this price range.
