"Not so great"
Verified Purchaser

This mic isn’t really a bargain , the mic sims don’t respond like the mics they are trying to mimic . The stated noise floor spec doesn’t seem accurate to me. I purchased this mic before buying an actual u87 mic , and all I can say is the real deal u87 is far and above the price and controls dynamics so much better then the sphere . I have mine listed on reverb . You’ve been warned .
