I purchased this in one of PBTech's sales at a knock-down price which made it quite good value but be warned that perhaps because this has a dynamic microphone in it, the audio output levels are much lower than your typical condenser mic and some software struggles to boost them to a high enough level to be useful. Never the less, if it works with your software it has a reasonable studio-tone with good bass and subdued highs that are great for voice-overs, podcasts, etc.
