SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: N/A Feature: The mic mount is 3/8 inch but the mic that it is designed for has a mount that is the standard larger size. (I have had the mic for a few years so I can't say for sure if an adapter came with the mic - but it isn't in the original box - so I'd have to guess that one was not included.) Ease of Use: Works exactly as I had hoped. Quality: More lightweight than similar products. But hopefully it will still last for years to come. Value: It's the only one I found in this price range but there aren't many available. Living in Canada, I can honestly say I wasn't willing to pay the Canadian retail price which was about double. I needed to wait for an American vacation to pick this up on my travels. Manufacturer Support: I contacted Rode with a pre-sales question. Their customer support was 10/10. I wondered why some people rated this mic stand as poor. Their answer was simple: It's designed and balanced for only one mic, specifically their rode podcaster. With other mics it won't be balanced correctly and you can expect that it would be hard to operate smoothly. If your mic is something else, then don't grab this accessory. Rode anticipates you'll be unhappy in that case. The Wow Factor: It's the perfect fit if you already have the mic that this was designed for. A definite "must have" when you already have the rode podcaster. Overall: The design is tailored to a Rode Podcaster which I have. That was my reason for selecting this mic arm rather than a higher end, more robust design from another manufacturer. The bad: Although perfectly balanced, the stand isn't tall enough to reach over a 24" monitor (which would be nice). It would be super if Rode would release a larger version of this stand. It glides well, and adjusts easily in any direction (truly the point of this type of mic stand).

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature: No accessaries - particularly the adapter for the mic mount. Its a given, isn't it? Quality: Stout! I'm looking forward to a long lasting product. Value: If it included the mic mount adapter?!? yes - good price. The Wow Factor: Had a limited selection - color - have to go with what you can get. Overall: I expect it should be a long while before I need to replace this one, however I'm considering an additional one and will probably look else where for more variety.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: I makes no sound of its own, that is a good thing. Feature: The boom has Velcro cable ties and it shaped at the bends in the shape of a cable. The cable lays smooth and holds firm while you are moving the microphone around. Ease of Use: Very easy to use, pull, or push you mic where you want it and let it go. What could be easier? Quality: I can't imagine that it could be better. Value: Zzsounds beat their competition by a nice margin. The Wow Factor: Very slick design, Once I added a 45 degree XLR to the rear of my mic it was perfect. Overall: Why so many questions in the review process. The product is great, and so is Zzsounds, enough with the questions. The last block has my review.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
