A great starter kit for people who need a mic and headphones. I recommend an at2020 USB over these any day, but this mic definitely holds its own. The headphones aren't amazing but they are comfortable and have decent baas

So when comparing this microphone to other microphones in my kit I look at it like I look at cameras. Every one has their own job. What I compaired this to was my Yeti and my Shotgun mic. What is this mic good for? Well this is a singular cardiod mic which makes it great for a single close up user. For me that means a situation where I am the only person talking and I am right in from of the microphone so for example when I am recording a podcast or a voice over of a video or even on occasion when I am gaming and don't want my audio distracted by other noises in the background. Because of the single directionality that means less outside distractions of say a noisy car going by outside or my neighbor mowing his lawn or even my noisy upstairs neighbours. In this way this microphone is far better than the Yeti which has multi directionality cardiod that is better suited for a room filled conversation of multiple people for different angles that would pick up more of those ambient noises not allowing for the voice isolation. Next how does this compare to a shot gun mic? Well again we will go back to the directional range. With a shotgun mic like a rode you are targeting sound from one specific direction and that includes background noises so where that differs is that you would want that when recording audio for an event or a crowd with a specific target like an interview where you are not the focus of the audio but are controlling the movement of the action. In the event of a targetted speaker recording this microphone allows for more precision in what you pick up. Allowing for sound isolation based more on proximity than direction. Now on to the hardware: the arm is sturdy and clamps easily to my desk, the movement is smooth yet still rigid enough to support the microphone without slipping, the pop shield does an amazing job and I have to do very little pop correction if any in edit, the microphone does an excellent job of isolating so very little post recording noise reduction is needed, the headphones offer a crisp clear sound and the band is comfortable, the only reason I didn't give a 5 for comfort is that I have been spoiled by the softness of the foam in my Skull Candy headphones. I have needed a mic kit of this caliber for a long time and the fact that I waited is lost time in post work that I will never get back. Do yourself a favor if you do any isolated audio work and don't wait the time you save is worth it's weight in gold.
