I've owned this mic for 2.5 years and I've had great luck with it. The build quality is superb, the sound is fantastic, and the shock mount that comes with it is great. I wish it had a built-in roll off, but it's not a necessity for me. This is the first Lewitt mic I've owned and honestly, I enjoy it's sound more than the Rode NT1A I have. The next mic purchase I make, will most certainly be another Lewitt. If you're in the market for a good quality condenser for vocals, acoustic instruments, or even drums, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
