Pretty Good Budget Package

I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to test this mic, but from what I did test it worked pretty well. I will go through each item that came with the mic:

The pop filter did a good job removing the bursts of air from p's and b's, it stayed in place for the three days that I had it mounted, and it was easy to install. It did seem to have a few weak points when bending the stem in certain positions, but with the mounting versatility it doesn't present much of a problem. The first pic below shows the setup that I kept it at for three days without moving it and it didn't move, so that's a plus.

The shock mount, again, was easy to install. A plus when purchasing all of these things in one package - everything fits together. I did have my concerns when putting the mic in it though, as it didn't seem to have any good way to really latch onto the mic. But, I tried it anyway and it held the mic upside down as shown in the first pic for the three days I was able to test it without falling out. When doing sound tests, the shock mount did seem to mitigate some vibrations through the desk that the mic stand was attached to (very very small bumps from my mouse lifting and falling), but it almost seemed like sometimes I could hear the springs that are part of the stand come through to the mic. As long as I didn't seriously bump my desk, though, it seemed to sound just fine.

I have nothing bad to say about the mic stand (except for maybe the fact mentioned earlier that some spring vibration was thought to be heard in some test recordings). The stand held its position really well with the tightening knobs that it has, and it's real easy to move around and adjust how I need to.

The microphone itself was pretty good for the price. There is a reason it is in the price range that it is, but as a brand new (amateur) home studio recorder I was pleased with it. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try the mic with phantom power, but hopefully it'll only do better than what I have experienced so far. I didn't try recording any instruments with it, but for voice it seemed to do fine.

There also came an adapter with the set that allows you to plug in a pair of headphones and the mic into a pc USB port. I was not able to use this, however, because MY HEADPHONE JACK WAS TOO BIG! The second pic shows what I mean. The mic cable has such a big end on the aux end of the cable that when I tried to plug my Behringer HPS3000 headphones into it (also having a big end on it), it didn't fit. I was really hoping to give the adapter a good test too to see if it presented any noise or anything like that.
