Condis –
For most people who play “recordings”, but don’t have a big budget, the price / quality ratio will be an advantage, which is very good for a low-end microphone. Holy design, I personally ordered a black model and I heartily recommend it (although you know – a matter of taste).
I hear noises at the volume of 85+, but 75 seems to be the most optimal, so there is no problem with that, even with a live recording without processing. The microphone – due to the fact that it is condenser – is characterized by the fact that it can pick up almost every vibration on the desk and even the softest noise, which can be a bit problematic. Overall, a great product, worth recommending.
