I'm a singing drummer and bought this to finally free me from the boom stand. Man what a difference! I can't tell you how nice it is to be able to move your head around while singing. Wow! I can't believe I put myself through the "boom stand woes" for so long. As for the quality of the mic, I think it works great. I've seen a couple other reviews about how thin or tinny it sounds but I haven't found that. I just sing back-up vocals so it sounds just fine for that. We have a sound guy at our rehearsals and he was loving it last night, having a lot less issue with feedback. With the right EQ you can make this thing sound how ever you want. I think it's a great value so far. I haven't owned it very long so we'll see how it holds up but I'm a firm believer that things usually last if they're taken care of so I'm guessing it will last a long time. Rock on!

I purchased this microphone for my wife who sings and plays keyboards for our band. I actually did not expect too much from this product as my opinion regarding any of the headset-type mics is that most of them are not very good. My experience with most of these mics is that they have are very low gain and very tinny sounding. This mic fits the mold; however, I found that it had more gain than many that I have tried. The sound? yes, they are haavy on the high-end; however, a good mixer board will cure that problem. We actually tuned this one to the point where it had too much low-end. Overall, it performed very well once we got it tuned into our system and I can actually say that we will continue to use it as a permanent part of our PA system. We perform in a variety rock band, so it was tested pretty well at our last gig. My wife's only advice about using it...it IS pretty sensitive, so remember to move it away from your face when you're not actively singing....

I bought one of these because my more expensive AKG got stepped on. Save your money...don't buy this is you're a singer. You can't get your monitor EQ to work since the response curve on this is so wierd. Maybe this would work for an aerobics instructor, but not for a singer.

Fits well, sounds terrible!

I'm a drummer for a rock cover band and do lead and backing vocals. I bought this to free myself from a mic on a stand. It fits really well but that's the only good thing about it. The sound is nothing but intense mids, and you can't EQ junk! The cord is TINY and the plastic plug VERY fragile. Save your money and step up to a shure or crown.

On my second one!

I am a singing drummer and the primary lead vocalist in a working rock band. I'm on my second one because I stepped on the first one. Didn't see it, it's dark behind the drums. Anyway, these units work flawlessly and a third of the price of the big name. As far as having no low end, that's why there's 4000 knobs on the board, adjust it. I would recommend this mic to any drummer.
