Feature:
mine came with a workable shock mount and bag. the sound is the best feature.

Quality:
i didn't look too close because i couldn't wait to mount it and get going but it has a solid feel and the fit & finish seem flawless. i'm a product engineer and nothing struck me as flimsy or cheap. it definately classes up my project studio. if you are going to spend more money it wouldn't be for a better built mic. the shock mount, which i wasn't expecting anyway, works but seems pretty cheap--love the quick release and it is lined so it won't scratch the finish and i probably won't upgrade it.

Value:
great introduction to condenser mics, definately good enough for hobbiest at a rediculous price point.

Desirability:
i bought it hoping it would improve my acoustic recordings and it does that but it's also attractive and it looks & feels like the expensive models.

Sound:
keeping in mind that this is my first experience with a condenser mic this sounds much better and is much easier to use than a dynamic mic for recording acoustic guitar in my small studio. sit in front of it--not too close, twist yourself a bit for the tone your looking for and play. sweet, i love it. recorded Space Lord, Touch Peel Stand, I Hate Everything About You, as well as some of my own delicate little acoustic pieces and they sound very good without re-touching with eq. i can't say how this sounds compared to the other condensers you're considering but i'm not dissappointed at all. btw: i don't know if this matters but i ordered the Global Audio by CAD & got a CAD instead, mine is silver/gold not black--feels like a paid for a squire & got a strat. if you are wondering if you need a condenser mic, yes you do. this one might be a good choice.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
this should do for awhile. i'm not primarily an acoustic musician but i wanted something better than a dynamic mic and i am very pleased with this. there are other pieces in my chain that i would upgrade before this. early recording tests on a variety of tunes tells me that this will get me the sound i wanted.

Feature:
Great budget mic but you will need to pair it with a nice pre-amp since it does not have a pad or high pass filter.

Quality:
Not a $1000 mic but sounds almost as good as one

Value:
No better large diaphragm condensor at this price

Desirability:
I will never record vocals agin with a dynamic mic.

Sound:
Very clear sound, extremely sensative but sounds great on vocals and drum overhead.

At the price of a so-so dynamic mic you get a near-pro level performance. it's impressively balanced in tonal range, sensitive enough to capture subtlties but has directional sensitivity (to ameliorate unwanted sound interference). Great for vocals and acoustic instruments. It's input is clean enough and lends itself beautifully to effect processing with no unwanted noise or distortion.

it's not a Neuman, so don't expect it to be one. Once this obstacle is removed - you're going to be so happy with it!!!

Feature:
Mine came with a shockmount :D

Quality:
Cool looking mic.

Value:
If you're looking for a condenser mic under $75, this is it.

Sound:
Great sounding vocals and also sounds very good with my bass trombone.
