I use it to narrate over video while video editing and to record music and vocals for singing. Narrating first is clear and powerful. The ability to switch between different modes is great as it lets you get the dynamics of the room right. I am no where near the professional when it comes to audio but it sounds so crisp. It's so powerful that you can hear the whirl of my fans in the computer, this is easily sorted by moving the mic away and changing the mode of recording. The long wire and the clip also is great, I get a bit of room when recording. Although I haven't fully tested it for recording music and vocals, I did a few tests when I first got the microphone. I was blow away my the quality of the sound, using Cubase to record.I did find out that the microphone records in mono which is a little disappointing but with a little edit in Cubase you can make it sound like surround sound. The product is small, the box it comes with is awesome and you get a good amount of kit with it too. You get a clip, a case, the USB cable and software too. I am really pleased with this for a great price. Review: Limited, but good. - This sounds a bit worse than it is. In reality, this little mic sounds excellent. First the bad: * Nitpick - It doesn't have external controls (apart from a simple -10dB pad switch, with is very handy) and the build quality of the plastic housing isn't stellar. * Real niggle: The placement of the USB connector is also in such a place where it makes the microphone sag to one side. * Real niggle: The internal USB interface only supports 16bit 44.1kHz, where it would have been great if it could have supported at least 16bit 48Hz. 44.1kHz is CD quality, but 48kHz is a massive improvement for studio-based work. If this was a crappy microphone, this would not have been an issue. The reality is that this is a great sounding little microphone, so the 44.1kHz-only interface does limit the utility of this microphone (at 48kHz I would have had no issue using this microphone for professional voice-overs Do I dislike this microphone? Not at all, it's just that with a little bit "extra" it would have been able to punch well above it's weight. As a result, this is a good "rehearsal" or "jam session" microphone, and it's small size makes it great for travelling. I can heartily recommend this mic to singer-songwriters to use as a brainstorming microphone, and for a YouTuber/Gamer as a great streaming microphone. Unfortunately this won't be your "one-mic-for-everything" device. It's a bit pricey, so if you can justify paying for it, go ahead and get it. It's a great little device, in spite of all the shortcomings.
