Feature:
Excellent shock mount, case and cable.

Sound:
You can hear what you've been missing. Gain it up and you can record instruments across the room. Gain it down and bring it in close for incredibly clear vocals. Love it.

"Great mic, Great price"

Feature:
This is a basic mic, nothing fancy, no frills. You can get a spider mount for it but that's about it. No pattern selection.

Quality:
AKG what else?

Value:
Can't do better than this for a cardiod

Desirability:
I would like to have 2 more

Sound:
This is simply the best sounding mic in the $200 range, that's why I give it a 9. You can get better mics, but you will have to pay 3x as much. I have 30+ years in the recording/music industry and have not found a better value.

Support:
N/A

Overall:
The only other product I would replace it with is the C414
