I do not spread over me, everything has been said and said again.
on the other hand, as can be read in many critical is that the shock mount is not practical, and I totally agree, a kind of screw system that puts three leaden before being properly tight.
In short I looked to buy a shock mount more convenient, but unfortunately the store I went or not was not tight enough for the bluebird, obviously its diameter is too small compared to the "standard". Apart from this detail, it does its job.
Regarding anti pop also criticized, I have not tried.

OVERALL OPINION

It will soon be one year since I have this mic and so far so good.
I use it mainly for recording a tenor sax, sometimes acoustic guitar, and percussion-type egg shaker, and also darbuka.
So yes it is quite versatile, especially because this is my best micro :)

I'm not really an expert in micro, I do not have much basis for comparison, but I have ears and I find the result with really good sax. A light years away from my other microphone, SM57 (it's not very comparable I know).

The value for money is excellent for me, and I think remake that choice. It is sold as versatile and so far I have not put in default.
I already lorgnai the side of Blue in a moment, but what mainly motivated my purchase is a promotion where they offered a further 100 for the purchase of a bluebird :)
