It's great! ....for me

I'm a total noob in home vocal recording, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

These came bundled with the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 Studio Pack, and after ages of bad microphones that I've used, this is like the best of the best for me. It sounds really clear and I feel like I could use this in a more serious project any day of the week, at least to my noobish ears. Though I still have a lot to learn; I still have to hear what makes a more expensive microphone that much better than this one. I'd maybe say that this mic can be a little low output, and in the Scartlet 2i2 I have to dial up the gain a lot, almost a quarter left from max, but I don't know if that's normal. Aparently with the Shure SM7B that problem is worse because of the interface.

But anyways, if you're starting out or even if you're a little more experienced, I'd totally recommend using this mic! For me, it sounds great. Wonder if I'll still think the same once I'm more experienced, tho, hahaha

It... does the job

This comes bundled with the Scarlet 2i2 pack, and I got it because I needed some studio headphones and a mic, so I thought giving it a try. My main issue with these headphones is the quality of the bass. It really doesn't output a substancial amount of bass that I'd use these for mixing or even producing. Maybe because I produce mostly electronic music and bass has also a lot of enphasis. Yes, it's not like it's non-existent, but if you already have an audio interface, you can get better options for around the same price these would cost you in the pack. But, I'll cut it some slack, you can't expect a lot from a pack designed for people that want an introduction to home audio recording and for them, it does the job! These are not bad headphones, and it can sound really clean! But I'd use them along with some studio monitors, just to not lose those frequencies.

These are OK, I feel, in my use.
