It sounds decent, but I have to turn the gain high up which makes it pick up everything, even breathing I guess. Also sounds crap like that. The main issue I have with this mic and why I'm getting a new one (XM8500) is the extremely low volume, and there is nothing you can really do to fix it.
When you're a tiny bit too far away you are barely audible, but if you turn it up and get too close to it, it starts sounding really bad. Just a mess on trying to get it sounding like it's full potential. Without this issue, I would probs give it 4-5 stars
