Feature:
All the accessories were great. The plastic shock mount was flimsy and broke but everything packaged was essential.

Quality:
Everything was great. My only complaint was the shock mount which broke (plastic). The price for another one is over a hundred dollars. Thats retarded.

Value:
For the price Im very happy with the sound

Desirability:
its sexy in the shock mount.

Sound:
I don't have any equipment i plug it into the back of my pc and record and the sound is amazing. When I finally did get equipment the sound was unmatched and thats compared to my neumann.

Ease of Use:
Plug and play

Support:
They were iight.

Overall:
Great sound, nice look, cheap plastic shock mount that cost over one hundred dollars to replace. Overall good mic. About the same as the CAD 6000 which is cheaper.
