Feature:
Features as I explained earlier, it comes with extra options you can read in the description. It also comes with a decent shock mount and a nice wooden box. Just looking at the box it came in made the mic worth buying.

Quality:
The mic is pretty sturdy. There are sturdier mics out there, but this comes close to those mics. I'm confident that if I accidently dropped this mic, I could pick it up and start recording again expecting the same quality.

Value:
For $99 you need to where a ski mask, 'cause you would be stealing from SP. If I hadn't known the price of this mic, just by using the mic, I would have thought the price to be in the 199-299 range.

Desirability:
I would buy another one of these right now if I didn't have about 10 mics at home.

Sound:
I have never really payed too much attention to studio project products. After doing some research and asking around I decided to test one out. I mainly record vocals (hip hop/R&B/Ballad). For the price I was impressed. It doesn't have the muddiness in the vocals. At the same time it wasn't to bright. I would say the sound of this mic with a little bit of tweaking on your DAW brings your vocals to near pro studio quality. It also comes with options to cut down on your freq. For $99 you can't lose out. I really picky when it comes to mics. I highly recommend this mic in its price range. I rated this mic an 8 because there are better mics out there, but you might have to dig through your pockets a little deeper for the higher end mics. In comparison to an AT2020 and this mic, I would chose this mic again.

Ease of Use:
If you can plug something in, then you're good to go in this station.

Support:
Didn't have to use it yet. I've had the mic for a month now. I gave it a 10 because if I don't have to recieve support from SP, then they've deffinately done their part.

Overall:
Overall, all I have to say is "get it!" Pros: The output of the mic is not muddy, it is clear, crisp on the high end but not too crisp. It comes with nice wooden box and shock mount. Optional presets on the mic that I found pretty useful. Nice slick design and very sturdy as well. Cons: I don't have any cons yet. If there was one maybe a better shock mount. throw in a xlr cable. i always hated ordering the xlr cable seperately for my mics. i really can't find and cons for this mic at the price it is selling for.

Feature:
Sound...warm and precise.

Quality:
I own it for 2 years and still in mint shape. I prefer to wait a little before being objective on this matter.

Value:
No comment. THe best price value available for your vocals.

Desirability:
i wanted it and i bought it

Sound:
Incredible sound for the money. I've made vocal tracks that my friedns thought made with far more expensive mics. I don't want to be offensive but here you've your bang for the buck. Coupled with a mic200 ultragain preamp from behringer. Less impressive but veeeeery good for the low price.

Overall:
No other mic come close in this price range.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
It comes with a foam screen and shock mount. Make sure you get a stand with wide legs...I've had mine fall twice (due to the stand, not the microphone).

Quality:
Well, it's fallen twice due to my decrepit mic stand (a separate purchase), but still works fine. It's very tightly built; I don't see how you could break it unless it fell on cement. However, with a condenser microphone make sure not to blow huge puffs of air into the capsule...I think that's said to be bad for any condenser mic.

Value:
Extremely excellent value to price ratio. Condenser mics are definitely the way to go. It has low noise and consonants flow well, especially with the foam screen...you can turn it up without the consonants hurting your ears. Previously I owned a dynamic microphone, the Shure SM57 (the famous "workhorse" or mics), I could tell a considerable difference in quality and noise level between the SM57 and the Studio Projects B1. The B1 noise level was almost non-existent in comparison.

Desirability:
Condenser mics look cool...especially with the shock mount. It makes me feel professional... :)

Sound:
Excellent sound for the price. You probably wont find better. I've did lots of research before buying a condenser mic and this mic has recieved high praise from many reviews. MY EXPERIANCE: Crisp, clean and great for guitar and vocals. Why spend hundreds or thousands on a condenser mic? At least with this mic I don't think you need to unless you're in a high class studio. For my home recording, the B1 works is just what I needed.

Overall:
I'm very happy with it.

Feature:
I mean, there's no 10 db pad or anything.

Quality:
This is very reliable, I'm not worried that it will break, I've dropped it before, it still works the same.

Value:
Very good value, a lot better than other 100 dollar condensers

Desirability:
This mic rocks

Sound:
This mic has a very warm sound when used with Acoustic guitar. it is very good for piano as well. However, it is just ok for vocals, but good enough for my demos.

Ease of Use:
you plug it in, turn phantom power on, and youre ready to go.

Support:
havent dealt with them

Overall:
The valuw and sound are just amazing. I wish it was better for Vocals, however this mic makes up for that weakness in the Guitar category by a lot.
