4Great for the price
By MJGuy
I don't have a great deal of experience with audio equipment, but in my brief exposure I must say this is a good microphone. It is simple to set up and easy to use. MXL also includes a couple pamphlets for best results, which are very accurate and helpful. It can be used with any recording program and has a great sound quality. I would absolutely advise the purchase/use of a pop filter (as with any condenser microphone). If you're looking for a good quality microphone for under $100, this is a good choice. You won't notice a difference in sound unless you buy a much more expensive microphone. My only complaint is the noise floor, but it's nothing a little tweaking/editing, can't take care of.

5Excellent USB Mic
By James G. Johnson
This mic is very solid considering it is USB; if you want to get a studio sound out of your microphone then you need to go to a real studio. However for recording demos and such with logic or garage band: This thing is great. Plug and play, levels are easy to adjust and the stand is nice. What alot of folks need to do is play with the EQ after recording the vocals, that makes a HUGE different in the sound of the track.

5everything I expected
By Scott Richards
The sound of this product is crisp and clear. It is easy to operate and includes a small stand useful for a first time amateur user. The instructions for the mxl mixer program seems to point to a program missing from the website but I use audacity anyway and that wasn't a problem. Everything for me was good.
