Subject:I'm impressed - such a low cost mic!
Quality: For the cost the quality is very good. Some more expensive mics are better built but the sound quality is impressive for this price range! Excellent for what it is!
Features: As others have said if you unscrew the ring at the bottom of the mic you can access the low-cut switch, if needed, it is marked "100Hz -6dB". Also, it has an anodized aluminum body and a gold diaphragm and comes with a "so-so" (but usable) shock mount.
Ease of Use: Very easy, it just requires phantom power as does any other condenser microphone.
Sound: Truly impressive for the price. I was expecting it to sound reasonable but it sounded better than expected. Also as one other person noted, it sounds excellent as an overhead mic for drums. I used it outdoors on Halloween at my churches annual "Party On The Porch" and it was unbelievable! I think it was the best money spent for a mic in this price range and i've had them for a long time but only recently used it outside of my home studio and they performed well!
