PROS
● All metal body
● Shock mount and pop filter included
● Angle adjustment built into the stand
● AI Noise Cancellation
● 24 bit/192Khz recording
● Shock mount has a ⅜ mount and can be used with boom arms
● Pop filter does a great job of blocking out plosives
CONS
● RGB feels unnecessary
● RGB gain doesn’t have visible marked levels
● 192khz is pretty useless for OBS / Streaming platforms
● Acoustic foam panelling is a nice extra but has potential for excess waste
● AI Noise reduction switch very fiddly and hard to use
