This mic is great! Good quality and nice noise rejection. I wish it had an on/off switch but it doesn't make it any less awesome.
This is a perfect product!

I use this boom microphone for films, documentaries, and special events. This microphone catches everything in front of it and nothing behind it, which is great. It's also very light.
Nice Mic

I use this mic for recording audio files for our web site. It has just enough sensitivity and side noise rejection to work very well for our needs.
Good balance between quality and price.

This was a great buy for the price. The only thing I don't like is that it is really sensitive to the wind. There was an extremely light breeze--almost unnoticeable--but it kept distorting the audio.
Most under rated mic ever!
