I have been using this for over an year now. No issues so far. I wouldn't recommend using it for recording vocals etc, since its really more tuned for voice conversations. I have been using this as my main mic for all video conferences. It handles that really well. Frequency response does drop off below 100 Hz, esp in cardoid mode, so in that sense, samson meteor is a better mic. If you want to record music or sing, i recommend meteor over this one. Where this mic really shines is if you want to carry it around, connect it with your android phone and use it for recording. If it had an option for a foam windshield, that would have made it perfect.
