Just got this mic, and honestly, it's pretty awesome. The sound quality is spot on, but the packaging? Not so much. One corner of the box was a bit smashed, and when I opened it, there were foam bits everywhere. Seriously, it was like a mini foam explosion. The mic itself was thankfully wrapped up nicely, so it was safe. But yeah, had to clean up a mess before I could even use it. I mean, I got it on sale, so maybe it's just one of those trade-offs. Overall, really happy with the mic, just wish the packaging was better.
