"La Personne J'aime"
and the the latest songs =)
Feature:
It has Hi, Mid, and Lo recording volume options
Ease of Use:
Plug, Record and Play
Quality:
This condenser mic is like any other condenser mic. Don't drop it!
Value:
If you're a new musician, this is a great mic to start. It has the detail and warmth of your voice.
Manufacturer Support:
So far, I haven't got problems and hopefully won't.
The Wow Factor:
Looks great! Looks like a $1000 mic
Overall:
I'll give this product a 10 because I think this mic is underpriced for it's quality. You can compare it's sound to "Audio Technica AT4040" only it's USB and you don't need the phantom power and all those.

Sound:
This is a stereo condenser USB Mic. Although it generally reproduces sound pretty accurately. It does have a tendency to sound kind of cheep. The real issue I have is the very high level of self noise
Feature:
Pretty good. I find that the high low and medium gain switch is not near granular enough. MXL includes a free download for recording software which is really simple, and I suspect this is what I will wind up using. My Cubase SX and Reaper seem to prefer an Asio driver and I know this isn't normal for a USB sound device, but It would have been great not to have to use asio4all to get things working. Also, and this may again be an issue with standard usb audio device setup in windows. The systems keep seeing an output for this device as if it had an audio out, which just isn't the case.
I own some pretty middle end equipment including audio interface and Mics. This was purchased because I wanted something really simple to set up and use as a field recorder so to speak with my laptop. I have not done more than just fool around with it at this point, but I think I am going to be disappointed. Clearly this is not positioned to be used like I want to use it. I was hoping this thing would be clear and quiet. It is sort of clear but definitely not quiet.
Ease of Use:
Actually very easy if you use The free downloadable recording software. This is why I bought it
Quality:
Cheap plastic body, noisy electronics,
Not what I was hoping for. Maybe I had to high an expectation...
Value:
I am mixed on this. If you want to do a podcast this might be a good choice. For me... Not good
Manufacturer Support:
Have not called them, but did check out their website to find the documentation while I was waiting for it to come in, and couldn't find a link to the pdf
Overall:
had I known what I was getting I wouldn't have bought it. I would have just gotten a usb audio interface. I believe I had expectations of this product which were unreasonable. If you want a simple way to get a pretty good recording and don't mind a little background noise, this is probably the way to go. If you were hoping to get the equivalent of a pair of cheap large condenser mics with the convenience of a usb connection... Not so much

It holds well, and has never broken, or any problems, but when you hold it you feel its not so strong.

This is putting more money in your pocket than robbing a bank!

Marshall has never been good with this stuff.
The Wow Factor:
It looks just as amazing as it sounds.
