"Worth every penny! I bought 3 of these - sensational buy!"
Might not be the last mic I ever buy but definitely worth the try!
Sound
One of my bandmates owns the ST95MKII. The ST90MKII is essentially the same mic internally with only minor esthetic changes. His mic always sounds great so I was pleased to find one available. So far, I love it. I've only used for live performace for which it's been sensational.
Features
The mic came with a cord and stand. Nice to have extra cords on hand. My stand was 30 years old and held together with duct tape, so the stand was perfect. It's not the top of the line stand but you can't complain for the price and it's better than what a had!
Ease of Use
Plugged in, adjusted levels and went for it. Each room is different so it's always getting tweaked.
Quality
Well made. Not as heavy as my SM58, but this mic was a fraction of the cost.
Value
Abso-flippin'-lutely!!
Manufacturer Support
Actually I did write to the company for some specs. They replied promptly with what I needed and didn't try to cross-sell or up-sell me.
The Wow Factor
I heard someone else's version of this mic sound great consistently gig after gig, room after room. And the package deal was what sold me.

I bought these for my church because the mikes we had were very old, beat up, and very responsive anymore. I was surprised at the quality of these microphones for the price paid (We got the four pack). We use them for vocals and miking acoustic guitars. They are great.

"Audio-Technica ST90MKII Handheld Mic brief review"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is an excellent, professional microphone which, I believe, is every bit as good as the Shure microphone that I have been using for several years. Actually, I bought two of these mics for about $45 (which included the cords)--this is an incredible buy, so don't miss it!

"STK compared to Shure"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The STK is now on the lectern of our Church and there's a Shure on the pulpit. The first thing you notice is that the volume off the STK is less. The feedback problem off an older mic is gone now. I am not sure that the low frequencies come in as strong. So in the end we are quite happy for spending much less.

"The Absolute Best Value For Your Money!!"
I have owned an Audio - Technica PRO 4 L for 13 years and it is still going strong and purchased these as additional mic's for events that need more than one and to have back up mic's in case something goes wrong.
Sound
Great sound for use with a portable P/A System for the sporting events at our sports complex.
Features
3 mic's with 3 clips and 3 stands for $ 99.95. You can't go wrong.
Ease of Use
On/Off switch on each mic, very easy to use.
Quality
No cosmetic or functional deficiencies.
Value
Best value for the money!
Manufacturer Support
Have not had to deal with anyone.
The Wow Factor
Great looking black mic.

"Okay CHEAP Mics - NEED SPECS!"
Good deal for the money, would buy again if lost, I wanted nice cheap mics, and THESE ARE THEM.
Sound
Ultra-cheap mic with passable sound
Features
The set that I got included 3 mics, 3 cables, 3 clips, and 3 mic stands - GREAT grouping!
Ease of Use
Plug in the mic and go - no phantom power.
Quality
Seems to be pretty durable, dynamic mics are typically sturdy.
Value
All in all, as long as you're not looking for great quality, these mics (in the set with stands and cables) are a great value. Fine for basic live applications, I would not recommend it for recording, however.
Manufacturer Support
I emailed Audio Technica regarding the lack of specs (NONE included at ALL with the mics!)and got no reply.
The Wow Factor
Maybe you really want a mic for club use, that you don't want to have to worry about getting dropped or beer soaked - you'll want this.
