Not for everyone
This mic has a bit of presence to it and can produce plosives if you don't have great control, but for the right kind of vocalist, the sparkle and tone from this mic can go a long way. I like mine so much I want to upgrade to one of the custom finishes. Also makes a very good snare mic. There are some clubs where I've had engineers tell me they didn't like it, but on big stages it's killer and suits my voice well, to my ears anyway.
Amazing
This mic actually made me a better singer, has a great dynamic range in which you can get really emotional with your audience. It is very clear, high quality and worth every penny!
Perfect mic for Snares but not vocals.
It is one of my favorite mic for Snare although I initially brought it for Vocals. The very high presence boost of this mic make most of the vocal I record with it to be either too bright or brittle and the pop filter on this mic itself it not as perfect as I expected (massive amount of plosive, those singer can uses this mic perfectly is definitely a pro) when I try it for the first time but due to its excellent axis rejection of this mic, the bleed is still exceptional (although it's normal to have some) and the extra mid high boost make the snare sounds quite good. It is my one of the go to mic for Snare drums from now.
