I found this mike to be good for the price but had some issues with clarity in beginning. Had to make adjustments with laptop to get better quality. Overall, very happy with mike.

What's great about it: Good price, Good quality sound
What's not so great: Setup, Buzzing Noise
I heard good reviews about this, I thought this would be good too. But this microphone is really really strong! It can pick up a lamp and make my recordings like buzzy. Without the lamp, there was some kind of buzzing noise that quite annoyed me. But it's really strong. It can pick up things from far away, which is a problem but also good too.

What's great about it: Quality & price ..a great combination.
What's not so great: N/A
The CAD USB microphone is a surprising blend of quality at an affordable price. I am currently using it with Dragon Voice recording software. I had the occasion to contact their Tech Dept. recently and found them of considerable assistance as well. Buy it.

What's great about it: Good price
What's not so great: Not so easy set-up
I bought this microphone in hopes of recording a demo at home, and I admit it picks up musical instruments very nicely. However, the vocal quality is not as peachy, but is adequate. I would say it's aimed more at the beginner level for those who want to make adequate recordings for fun.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Quality for the price
The microphone is of good quality and sounds good. It is a very good value. The tripod is very stable and sturdy. My two teenage boys and their friends have spent many hours creating their own music.
I would recommend this to a friend!
