MXL USB006 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Pros: I am a youtuber and for the price I got it at, was worth it. Its small, picks up my voice with out a problem and has a nice carrying case to come with it.I have been using it for over 3 months now and it is WAY better then my previous mic which made me sound like I was talking via a tin-can. It is easy to set up, I just plugged it in, and it worked with out a hitch.

Cons: It picks up noises that it otherwise shouldn't. It picks up car-doors slamming on the other side of the street and any little noise I can't even hear until I listen to the recording. It also has a slight "hum" that comes and goes depending on how the wire is set from the microphone to the computer.

Other Thoughts: If you have the money, this is a good starter microphone. I would like for the "hum" to get fixed however :(.

Pros: I'm an online radio DJ/Presenter and this (when paired with a decent pop screen) is easily one of the best Mics I've used in recent history.

Cons: Uses a generic "USB Audio Codec" as it's driver. Makes installation a breeze, of course, but unfortunately doesn't allow you to tweak the volume.
Kind of a shame if you have the mic positioned a good distance away.

Other Thoughts: Highly recommend. Comes with ample documentation, a nice mic tripod, 10ft USB cable, and a nice carrying case.

Just be aware that the driver it uses does not allow you to tweak the Capture volume through the Audio properties.
If you're close to the mic, have a powerful voice, or both, then this is a non-issue.
