"Fantastic quality mic for an excellent price!"
Feature:Well...it's a mic, how many features is it expected to have?? It does have that little cap thingy that you clip over the capsule to change the tone but I prefer it without it as it seems to cause feedback at a lot lower level then I have to lower the volume of my monitors.
Quality:
There's no doubting the quality, it feels heavy and solid and I'm sure it will last if treated with respect.
Value:
I think this mic is actually really cheap! Not too long ago you'd have to pay 5 times as much for an inferior product. Check out the price of the Neuman or Shure equivilent and you'll see what I mean!
Desirability:
This is the sexiest mic in the world...hahahahahahaha
Sound:
This mic produces a crystal clear sound, huge gain and high gain before feedback which allows me to run my monitors a lot louder than an SM58 for example. It has quite a lot of proximity effect and I find the best sound is when you actually back off it a bit, as much as 8-10cm. I don't think it would suit those singers who like to ram the mic halfway down their throats as it can be a little dark and woofy if you're up too close. You may need to adjust your mic technique a little so it's probably not good if you have poor technique to begin with. I like it as it gives me a lot of tonal and volume control simply by changing the distance I am from the mic. Sounds great with female singers. I think it's a little toooo smooth for male rock singers, but it depends on your style a lot I guess. Sounds great on acoustic guitars as well!
Support:

Overall:
I've been singing in bands for years and it one of the nicest sounding mics I've used in a live situation. I love it and I think I'll buy another for backup as they are insanely cheap for the quality!
