"The times me and this mic have had..."

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This mic has been good to me over the past two years but it's time to move on. This is a perfect condensor for beginners or artist on a tight budget not wanting to go the Shure dynamic route.I grew out of it after 2 years of abuse, but it's alive and well.
Sound
The sound is very good for the price but the serious musician will grow out of it in no time
Quality
Very durable, I dropped this thing more times than should ever be allowed and except for a little dent on the top, it's working fine after 2 years
Value
Very good mic for the price. Doesn't compare to the Behringer B1, but this is the next best $100 mic.
The Wow Factor
I wanted one back when I bought it in '01, but now I need somethin a little more high end.
