Probably the best all-rounder you can buy for this moneyArvosana 4/5
Overall this is a great microphone that probably does whatever you want well above expectations. Sound quality and features are excellent and everything works well overall. However, this is really not a €200 microphone and maybe sometimes it's better to get a specialist instead of an all-rounder.
Pro:
- Great sound quality, both for voice, singing, music and picking up keystrokes on the keyboard.
- 4 recording modes, although you would generally only use 1
- Heavy, high build quality except for buttons
- Direct feedback to headphones, including computer audio, that works very well.
- High sensitivity without clipping.
Cons:
- Buttons feel very cheap and have a lot of play.
- Sound always sounds very "far away" unless you're literally on top of it
- Very annoying "off" LED that blinks
- Cable is too short (1m)
- The 4 recording modes are not different/good enough to justify the price hike, although stereo works very well.
- Picks up literally everything sound-wise. Streamers who cough or have a mechanical keyboard beware!
