Great value for money, I was tired of the Rode NT1a that everyone has, I felt that for my voice maybe something else was needed, I feel better with this one, for me it's the same range they have nothing to envy each other it's just different. I would say this one is less sensitive to ambient sound which is cool for voice recordings in a home studio, I also prefer its highs

Haven't had time to fully exploit the micro yet but very good feedback on the first tests.
