Quality:
This product is plastic, but its hard, sturdy plastic. The only downfall of the design is its enormous size, its roughly the size of a softball, so it can be cumbersome at times and with the ringer the diameter doubles, but still it hasn't broken on me yet and i've had it since Christmas
Features:
The best part about this microphone is definately the ease of use. All you have to do is plug it into your computer and play, it is that simple! No hassling with software or phantom power, this microphone is raedy to go out of the box. The three recording modes are a really nice touch as well, the first is for direct recording, the second is for more indirect recording, and the third records all around the microphone. And it is portable, affordable, and reliable.
Ease of Use:
I would compare the ease of set up to plugging in a guitar to an amp, its almost idiot proof
Sound:
Because this is an all-in-one microphone don't expect a professional sound quality, but don't expect a cheap product either.
Value:
This microphone is a must buy for any musician (except maybe drummers) because it gives you the freedom and portability to record at anytime, anywhere with any computer whenever the muse strikes.

Great Value in a simple package
Quality:
Very well-made, very dependable, although I haven't traveled with it. It appears to be highly resistant to dust.
Features:
Switchable mic patterns
Ease of Use:
This is a very simple, plug & play mic. It took about a minute to set up AND make a test recording. I'm using it for spoken word only, and it totally fits the bill. Desktop mic stand has rubber feet that insulate extraneous noise, and so far I haven't needed the shock mount (optional). Very attractive Space Age design makes it a pleasure to display on my desk and is also a conversation piece for clients. It is a bit heavy and bulky for travel, so I would recommend a different mic if portability is desired. Overall an excellent mic, really great value, recommended.
Sound:
Tone is very good for spoken word. I haven't used it for instruments or singing.
