Feature:
Comes with a case and a mic clip.

Quality:
It's a Neumann.

Value:
The price is very reasonable considering it's a Neumann.

Desirability:
The black one in particular is NOT a flashy mic. Big flashy silver mics are a distraction for the listeners, especially when you wear a dark colored suit. This mic hides itself pretty well against your evening attire.

Sound:
Folks, don't believe those negative reviews on this microphone. I get the feeling someone from Shure is impersonating a disgruntled customer so they can get people to buy their Beta 87's. Lol. I've used this microphone and I can tell you it is the best handheld mic out there for that price. I do studio recording at home and I'm baffled by the level of clarity this mic has. I regularly use a Rode K2 on an Avalon 737sp and I have excellent results, but when I need something handheld to get more of a 'live' sound effect, this is my go-to mic. I own other mics (including the Shure Beta 87) and this is simply the best handheld in my arsenal. I've also used it on live shows and it sounds fantastic! The built in bass roll off is definitely a plus! When you have a high quality pa system & speakers and are looking to get a more accurate sound instead of a fake boomy proximity effect you get on the others, then this is the perfect mic for you. This is a FULL range mic that sounds very glassy!...and there's a very unique sparkle around the 10Khz region that makes me want to drop my pants and make love to it. You just have to hear it to understand.

Ease of Use:
Simple to use, just plug it into a phantom powered preamp and go.

Support:
I've never needed support from them. -- They have a good reputation for taking care of their customers and I have peace of mind.

Overall:
I would definitely replace this mic is it was ever lost or stolen. Same brand, same color, same model number.

Feature:
love the carrying pouch

Quality:
Looks well made, should prove road worthy.

Value:
Worth the money!!

Sound:
This is the best live mic I've ever used! The sound is phenomenal. I use a Bose PS1 and didn't know how great my vocals could sound until I bought the 105. I also have a Beta 87A, but it can't touch this mic.

Ease of Use:
Little eq needed, great balance.

Support:
Haven't dealt with the company.

Overall:
I would buy another one if this one failed or was stolen.

Having trouble cutting through the mix with your current mic? Get your hands on the KMS 105 and you'll be set. I've owned many mics including all different kinds of Shure mics (condenser and dynamic) and the Neumann outperforms. Great for vocalists with quieter voices, falsetto...picks up what other mics leave out. Give it a try, i love mine...

The 105 has a clear, transparent sound.... works well int he mix for both live and studio recordings.... Is it a TLM 103, no.... does it sound good, YES.... one small drawback could be the lack of a roll off switch and pad switch... but not that big od a deal..... The fact that it's output level is only slightly higher than a Dynamic mic is a plus when mixing it with something like a SM58.....

Love this mic...

Quality:
I have it for a 20 months and it stop working while i was singing on the stage... hhrrrrrrrrrr????

Support:
I sent e-mails to the company never have a response....paid around $1000 for it and is not worth the money. I also own a sennheiser mic for more then 12 years and paid $400 and still works perfect

Desirability:
many people are impressed with it: sound guys and unknowing musicians.

Sound:
I didn't like it, but don't like any mic with a bass roll off. almost all mixers have a roll off button so why have it on a mic. I enjoy a full range mic for vocals in an acoustic instrument environment. like the rode nt3

Overall:
I might use it for female vocals, but not for male and not for acoustic bands.
